Laser Distance Sensors

1. High Accuracy: S95 laser ranging sensor offers very high resolution and accuracy with 1mm, making them ideal for precise measurements.

2. Range: High accuracy laser distance measurement can measure distances from a few centimeters to several hundred meters.

3. Applications: Commonly used for forklift obstacle detection, advanced navigation, and Load Positioning.

Key Features to Consider

1. Environmental Resistance: The high resolution distance sensor should be robust and able to operate in various environmental conditions, including dust, moisture, and temperature variations.

2. Integration: Ensure the short range laser distance sensor can be easily integrated into the forklift systems such as control units and warning systems.

3. Power Consumption: Low power consumption is important, especially for battery-powered forklifts.

4. Data Output: The industrial laser distance sensor should provide distance data by UART that can be easily processed by the forklift’s control system.

Applications

1. Obstacle Detection: Detecting obstacles in the path of the forklift to prevent collisions.

2. Load Positioning: Accurately measuring the distance to the load to ensure precise positioning.

3. Navigation Assistance: Assisting in autonomous or semi-autonomous navigation.

4. Safety Systems: Triggering alarms or automatic braking when an obstacle is detected within a certain distance.

Selecting the right high resolution distance sensor for a forklift depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the required range, resolution, and environmental conditions. S95 laser ranging sensor is generally preferred for their high accuracy and versatility.

Proper installation and calibration are essential to ensure the laser distance sensor operates effectively and enhances the overall safety and efficiency of the forklift.
