Slamtec RPLIDAR A1 Laser Ranging Sensor 360° Omnidirectional Lidar with High-Speed Visual Acquisition and Processing

Slamtec RPLIDAR A1 Laser Ranging Sensor 360° Omnidirectional Lidar with High-Speed Visual Acquisition and Processing
RPLIDAR A1 is a low cost 360-degree 2D laser scanner (LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. The system can perform a 360degree scan within a 6meter range. The produced 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization, and object/environment modeling.
RPLIDAR A1’s scanning frequency reached 5.5 Hz when sampling 360 points each round. And it can be configured up to 10 Hz maximum.
RPLIDAR A1 is basically a laser triangulation measurement system. It can work excellently in all kinds of indoor environments and outdoor environments without sunlight.
Features:

With high-speed visual acquisition and processing. Measures distance data in more than 8000 times per second
Rotates Clockwise In The Ranging Core To Achieve 360-Degree Scanning And Ranging Of The Surrounding Environment, Thus Obtaining The Contour Map Of The Surrounding Environment
Improves the internal optical design and algorithm system to make the sample rate up to 8000 times/s, which can enable your robots to map faster and more accurately
Users can adjust the scan rate by motor PWM signal
Most traditional non-solid Lidars use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they only have thousands of hours lifetime due to mechanical wear and tear. RPLIDAR A1 has integrated the wireless power and optical communication technology to self-design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR system. It fixes the electrical connection failure caused by physical wearing out so as to prolong the life-span.
