The PTGS-12X 905nm laser rangefinder module 1200m is ideal for long range, low-cost, reliable distance sensing in robotics, drones, and automation. Its combination of range, size, and eye safety makes it a popular choice for industrial and commercial projects.
Key Features About UAV Rangefinder Module
1. Laser Wavelength: 905 nm, eye-safe class 1.
2. Maximum Range: Up to 1200 meters.
3. Measurement Accuracy: Typically ±1 meter or better 0.7m,depending on target reflectivity and conditions.
4. Response Time: Fast measurement speed often <1 second.
5. Output Interface: Commonly configurable TTL, RS232, USB, RS485 or UART.
6. Power Supply: 3.3V DC low power consumption.
7. Operating Temperature: -20°C to +50°C.
8. Compact Size: Designed for integration into drones, robotics, security systems, etc.
How It Works
1. 1200m rangefinder module emits a short pulse of 905nm laser light.
2. UAV laser rangefinder module measures the time it takes for the light to reflect off a target and return.
3. 905nm rangefinder module can calculate distance by using Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology.
Common Applications
1. Drones & UAVs: Obstacle avoidance, altitude hold, precision landing.
2. Robotics: Navigation, SLAM, collision detection.
3. Security & Surveillance: Perimeter monitoring, intrusion detection.
4. Industrial Automation: Level sensing, positioning, machine guidance.
5. Smart Agriculture: Crop height measurement, irrigation control.
6. Automotive: Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) prototypes.
Popular 1200m Laser Rangefinder Module Models
Seakeda PTGS-12X: 905nm, 1200m range, widely used in drones, importantly low price at $33 to $55.
Seakeda PTYS-12X: Mini size and 5g weight, but more expensive than PTGS-12X 905nm laser rangefinder sensor.
If you’re building a drone or robot, this 1200m rangefinder module is an excellent fit, just ensure proper integration and environmental considerations.
