Laser distance sensor

Senyd TOF principle laser distance sensors operate on the principle of measuring the time it takes for a laser pulse to travel from the sensor to the target object and back. Here's how TOF laser distance sensors work:

  1. Emitting laser pulse: The sensor emits a laser pulse towards the target object.

  2. Reflection: The laser pulse hits the target object and reflects back towards the sensor.

  3. Time measurement: The sensor measures the time it takes for the laser pulse to travel to the object and back. This time measurement is directly proportional to the distance between the sensor and the object.

  4. Distance calculation: Using the speed of light as a constant, the sensor calculates the distance to the object based on the time it took for the laser pulse to travel back and forth.
