RPLIDAR A1 360° Laser Range Scanner

* Measuring Range: 12 meters

* 360 Degree Omnidirectional

* 8000 samples per time

* Rotational Speed: 5.5Hz

* OPTMAG Technology 

* RPLIDAR A1 is based on laser triangulation ranging principle and uses high-speed vision acquisition and processing hardware developed by Slamtec. The system measures distance data in more than 8000 times per second.

360 Degree Omnidirectional Laser Range Scanning

* The core of RPLIDAR A1 runs clockwise to perform a 360 degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.

* The sample rate of LIDAR directly decides whether the robot can map quickly and accurately. RPLIDAR improves the internal optical design and algorithm system to make the sample rate up to 8000 times, which is the highest in the current economical LIDAR industry.

OPTMAG Original Design

* Most traditional non-solid LIDARs use slip ring to transfer power and data information, however, they only have thousands of hours of life due to mechanical wearing out. Slamtec 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 the physical wearing out so as to prolong the life-span.

2-10Hz Configurable Scan Rate

* Users can adjust the scan rate by alternating the motor PWM signal. 2Hz, 5.5Hz and 10Hz
