Mouser Electronics, the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the TF-UW500 underwater single-point ToF LiDAR from Benewake.
The TF-UW500 is a high‑precision underwater single‑point LiDAR sensor engineered to deliver reliable distance measurement, mapping, and positioning beneath the water’s surface. The Benewake TF-UW500 adopts a direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) solution enabling underwater robots to achieve breakthroughs in both precise mapping and stable positioning.
The TF-UW500 features an eye-safe Class 1 visible laser and delivers a small laser spot with excellent directionality and a wide incidence angle. With centimeter-level accuracy and millimeter-level repeatability, the TF-UW500 delivers exceptional distance-measurement precision. The device combines hardware-level filtering with advanced anti-glare algorithms and maintains stable performance even under strong light or in turbid water. Calibrated across 10+ common pool materials, TF-UW500 ensures consistent accuracy and smooth, wobble-free underwater navigation.
Applications for the TF-UW500 include mapping and localization for underwater operation and working robots, robot obstacle avoidance, and distance measurement and object detection for logistics and industrial automation.
