Time of Flight 3D Multi-pixel Sensor Family for Distance and Motion Measurement

Optical distance measurement has a variety of uses in industrial applications. For years, time-of-flight (ToF) sensors have been used in measurement and monitoring tasks in factory automation and production. There have been new use cases for optical distance measurement that require precise 3D information and extended range like Drones or AMR/AGV. 


Multi-pixel distance and motion measurement sensor IC technology, based on the optical Time-of-Flight principle.
 
  • The AFBR-S50 is a multi-pixel, optical distance and motion measurement sensor module based on the indirect Time of Flight (ToF) principle
  • The sensors contain an integrated laser source, an optical receiver array and lenses for beam collimation

 

Features:
 
  • Very fast measurement rates of up to 3 kHz
  • Operation up to 200 kLux
  • Multipixel for 3D motion detection
  • Integrated calibrated clock source
  • Accuracy error precision below ± 1 mm possible
  • Unambiguous range up to 100m in 2f mode
  • Reference pixel for system health monitoring
  • Laser Class 1 eye safe ready
