RPLIDAR A2M12 - 360 Degree LiDAR Laser Range Scanner (12m)

INTRODUCTION

The core of RPLIDAR A2 runs clockwise to perform a 360-degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.

4cm Ultra-thin

With the custom special parts and the carefully designed internal mechanical system, the RPLIDAR A2 keeps its excellent performance while cut the thickness to only 4cm. It is ideal for all kinds of service robots.

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.

360-degree laser range scanning

The core of RPLIDAR A2 runs clockwise to perform a 360-degree omnidirectional laser range scanning for its surrounding environment and then generate an outline map for the environment.

Low Noise, Brushless Motor New Non-contact Drive

Compared with the traditional belt drive mode, RPLIDAR A2 uses the self-designed brushless motor to reduce mechanical friction in running. Therefore, the RPLIDAR A2 can run smoothly without any noise.

16m/12m Range Radius

With algorithm optimization, RPLIDAR improves the range radius 16 meters, which will provide more data due to a larger environmental outline map.

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 wireless power and optical communication technology to self-design the OPTMAG technology, which breakouts the life limitation of the traditional LIDAR systems. It fixes the electrical connection failure caused by the physical wearing out so as to prolong the lifespan.

Safety Standard

The RPLIDAR A2 system adopts low-power infrared laser light as its light source and drives it by using modulated pulse. The laser emits light in a very short time frame which can ensure its safety for humans and pets. It has already reached the Class 1 Safety Standard.

Measures Distance Data 8000 Times Per Second

RPLIDAR A2 adopts the laser triangulation ranging principle, and with a high-speed RPVision3.0 range engine, it measures distance data 8000 times per second and also has excellent performance in a long distances.

Five years ultra-long life

With brushless motor and OPTMAG technology, the RPLIDAR will work for 5 years(24 hours every day).

APPLICATIONS

The Secret for a Freely Walking Robot

Matched solution for robot autonomous localization and navigation

RPLIDAR A2 as the core sensor, can quickly get the outline infomation of the environment.

Integrating the RPLIDAR A2 with SLAMWARE in robot, the robot can build maps,autonomously,find path in real time and avoid obstacles automatically.

Multi-point Touch and Man-machine Interaction

Compared with traditional technology, with infrared laser device, the RPLIDAR A2 can realize the multi-point touch on a super-large screen, which has a higher resolution, reacts quickly and resists ambient light.
