TOF Sensor Beacon

A Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensor is a type of distance measurement sensor that uses the principle of measuring the time it takes for light or sound waves to travel to an object and back to determine distance.

A ToF Distance Sensor typically consists of a light source (such as a laser or LED), a photodetector, and associated electronics for processing and measuring the time it takes for the light to return.

Distance Detection Sensor offers several benefits including high accuracy, fast response time, immunity to ambient light conditions, and the ability to measure distances to both stationary and moving objects.

Some potential drawbacks of TOF sensors include limited range compared to other distance measurement technologies, sensitivity to reflective surfaces, and higher cost compared to some alternative sensors.

There are various types of distance measurement sensors including ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, laser distance sensors, and Time-of-Flight (TOF) sensors.

A TOF sensor emits a light signal and calculates distance by measuring the time it takes for the signal to return. Using the speed of light, the sensor accurately determines the object’s distance based on this measured time.

TOF sensors have diverse applications including robotics, industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, gesture recognition, 3D scanning, object detection, and monitoring systems such as occupancy detection and fill level monitoring.

A TOF sensor beacon is a compact device that combines the functionality of a TOF sensor with a beacon, allowing for distance measurement and wireless communication capabilities. It enables precise distance monitoring and localization in various applications. It works by emitting infrared light, when the object is encountered after reflection reception, in order to calculate the distance between the Beacon and the object.

The range of a TOF sensor beacon can vary depending on the application and specific model. Generally, TOF sensor beacons can have effective ranges ranging from a few centimeters to several meters.
