At Meskernel, we have developed two product lines based on TOF principles: <strong>laser distance sensor<\/strong> in the visible spectrum (510\u2013550nm green and 610\u2013690nm red) and invisible <strong>laser rangefinder modules<\/strong>.

There are two main approaches:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>iTOF (Indirect Time-of-Flight):<\/strong> Uses a modulated continuous laser beam and measures phase shift. This method is well-suited for short to medium distances with high precision.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>dTOF (Direct Time-of-Flight):<\/strong> Uses short laser pulses and measures the return time directly. This method is optimal for long-range, high-accuracy measurements, even in bright outdoor conditions.<\/li><\/ul><p>Both principles are applied in our product lineup, allowing us to provide solutions tailored to specific ranges and accuracy needs.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iToF Laser Distance Sensor<\/h3><p>Our <strong>laser distance sensor<\/strong> series is based on iTOF principles, delivering high-precision short to medium-range measurement with an accuracy of \u00b11mm. With visible green or red laser options, they are ideal for applications where the beam needs to be seen during alignment or calibration.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-1e046816 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lasersensor.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/itof-laser-measuring-sensor.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-2946\" width=\"800\" height=\"255\" title=\"itof laser measuring sensor\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Millimeter-level accuracy, with the highest precision reaching 1mm &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lasersensor.net\/en\/product\/ldl-t-laser-distance-measurement-module\/\"><span style=\"color: #0693e3;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">LDL-T<\/span> <span style=\"color: #0693e3;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Laser sensor<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Measurement range up to 200m<\/li>\n\n<li>High measurement frequency up to 5000Hz &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lasersensor.net\/en\/product\/ldju-3000hz-industrial-distance-sensor\/\"><span style=\"color: #0693e3;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">LDJU Laser Sensor<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Interfaces include Modbus, UART, RS232, and RS485<\/li>\n\n<li>Using visible light, 510-550nm <strong>green laser<\/strong> and 610-690nm <strong>red laser<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applications<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Industrial automation and smart factories<\/li>\n\n<li>Robotics for navigation and obstacle detection<\/li>\n\n<li>Smart agriculture for crop height and machinery positioning<\/li>\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lasersensor.net\/solutions\/laser-distance-sensor-in-smart-logistics\/\"><span style=\"color: #0693e3;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Logistics systems<\/span><\/a> for package measurement and warehouse automation<\/li><\/ul><p>In these cases, the <strong>laser measuring sensor<\/strong> provides not only accuracy but also reliability in dynamic and demanding environments.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-85e6f6af wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lasersensor.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/laser-distance-sensor-applications.jpg\" alt=\"laser distance sensor applications\" class=\"uag-image-2405\" width=\"451\" height=\"451\" title=\"laser distance sensor applications\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">dToF Laser Rangefinder Module<\/h3><p>For applications requiring long-range precision, our <strong>905nm laser rangefinder module<\/strong> is the optimal choice.
