The TF03 is an industrial-grade LiDAR sensor with a detection range of up to 100 m. Using pulsed time-of-flight (ToF) measurement, it delivers high accuracy in a compact 44 × 43 × 32 mm package weighing just 77 g. Its IP67-rated aluminium alloy enclosure makes it suitable for demanding outdoor and industrial environments.

The sensor features a 0.1 m blind zone, ±10 cm accuracy (within 10 m), and immunity to ambient light up to 100 klux. It supports UART, CAN, and IO interfaces, with configurable parameters including frame rate, baud rate, and trigger mode. Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
