Teledyne Optech, a Teledyne Technologies company has announced the launch of the CL-360 a compact, long-range, survey-grade lidar sensor for UAV and mobile applications.
Teledyne Optech CL-360 lidar sensor for UAV
The CL-360 joins the CL-90 in Teledyne Optech’s range of compact, high-accuracy lidar scanners and has been designed specifically to meet the needs of OEM hardware manufacturers working within the mobile, static, UAV or airborne surveying markets.
The CL-360 achieves:
- High-density lidar points in a full 360° plane surrounding the sensor
- Ranges exceeding 750 m (20% reflective target)
- Survey grade accuracy to less than 10 mm
- Data precision of less than 5 mm
- Scan rates of up to 250 lines per second
- Industry-leading 0.3mrad laser beam divergence (1/e2)
As well as long-range performance, the CL-360 also offers exceptional vegetation penetration and much higher target resolution, required for high-density applications, such as asset inspection and engineering projects. This is enabled by the smaller beam divergence and corresponding smaller beam footprint.
