Puck Lite
Overview
Velodyne LiDAR's Puck LITE™ is a lighter weight version of the VLP-16 PUCK for applications that demand a lower weight to meet their requirements. The Puck LITE™ has identical performance to VLP-16 with the only difference in weight of 590 g vs. 830 g for the latter. No other changes have been made to Puck LITE™ as it retains its patented 360° surround view to capture real-time 3D LiDAR data that includes distance and calibrated reflectivity measurements.
Key Applications
- UAV
- Robotics
- Automotive
- Mapping
- Security
- Industrial
Features
Unprecedented Field of View and Point Density
The Puck LITE has a range of 100 m with dual return mode to capture greater detail in the 3D image with a low power consumption. A compact footprint and an industry leading weight for a LiDAR sensor with high resolution makes it ideal for UAV/drone and mobile applications in the areas of 3D mapping/imaging, inspection and navigation.
The Puck LITE supports 16 channels and generates approximately 300,000 points/second from a 360° horizontal field of view and a 30° vertical field of view (±15° from the horizon) The Puck LITE has no visible rotating parts and is encapsulated in a package that allows it to operate over a wide temperature range and environmental conditions.
