Longer detection range typically demands larger optical apertures to capture sufficient return signals, which drives up both size and weight. Through a proprietary reflective optical path design, TFA170-L compresses that 170m detection range capabilities into a compact design at just 10g. With a reduction of 1 gram enhancing flight time by approximately 6 seconds, this can significantly increase the operation time of drones.

The LiDAR's special reflective optical path design gives it an exceptionally small size among similar products, making it ideal for integration into compact drone airframe and tight gimbal. For systems integrators, that means shorter development cycles, lower integration costs, and more design freedom from day one.

Designed in alignment with DO-160G airborne equipment standards, TFA170-L proximity sensors for drones is built for the extreme reliability demands of commercial UAV deployment. Backed by the Benewake TF series — with over 1,000,000 units shipped globally — integrators can specify with confidence across obstacle avoidance, drone rangefinder, altitude control, and long-range UAV sensing applications.

At Benewake, we design sensors for engineers who build real systems. With over 300 patents, a decade of LiDAR development, and products deployed across 90+ countries, we back every module with the documentation, software tools, and technical support your team needs — from first evaluation to mass production.
