Product overview
The Meskernel PTFS400 uses short laser pulses to measure distance from the time taken for light to travel to a target and return. Its 905 nm Class I laser has a power of less than 1 mW, with measurements delivered at 1-3 Hz. The module measures 43 × 35 × 21 mm and weighs 30 g, providing a compact format for applications where space and weight matter. USART, RS232 and RS485 interfaces support communication with connected systems.
Applications include machinery positioning and distance measurement in industrial automation, navigation and obstacle detection in robotics, and distance measurement for surveying and mapping. Agricultural uses include machinery guidance and crop monitoring, while construction uses cover site measurements and material estimation. The module also supports perimeter monitoring and intruder detection applications. It operates from 0 to 50°C and can be stored from -30 to 60°C. The PTFS400 carries a three-year warranty, with OEM, ODM and OBM customization support.
