Scanning laser range finder for area scanning and localization of autonomous robots and automated material handling systems. Ideal solution for academic and R&D start-up applications.Acts as the eyes for mobile robots in guide path planning and obstacle detection within unknown environments. Light-weight, compact design using USB bus power.
URG-04LX is a laser sensor for area scanning. The light source of the sensor is infrared laser of
wavelength 785nm with laser class 1 safety. Scan area is 240º semicircle with maximum radius
4000mm. Pitch angle is 0.36º and sensor outputs the distance measured at every point (683 steps).
Laser beam diameter is less than 20mm at 2000mm with maximum divergence 40mm at 4000mm.
Principle of distance measurement is based on calculation of the phase difference, due to which it
is possible to obtain stable measurement with minimum influence from object’s color and reflectance.
