The WHEELTEC SLAMTEC RPLIDAR LiDAR series is a high-performance laser ranging sensor suite, purpose-built for ROS robot development, educational and scientific research, intelligent navigation, and industrial automation applications. With full compatibility with ROS1 and ROS2 systems, complete SDK support, and professional technical assistance, this series delivers a reliable, high-precision environmental perception solution for both entry-level developers and industrial users. Core Product Lineup RPLIDAR A1: The cost-effective entry-level option, adopting a mature triangulation ranging principle. It supports 360° omnidirectional scanning, with an 8KHz sampling frequency, 5.5Hz scanning frequency, and a maximum ranging distance of 12m for white objects (70% reflectivity). Optimized for indoor scenarios, it easily handles indoor mapping, real-time obstacle avoidance, and basic robot navigation development. RPLIDAR S2 Series (S2/S2L/S2E): Industrial-grade high-performance TOF (Time-of-Flight) LiDAR solutions. With a high 32KHz sampling frequency and 10Hz scanning frequency, this series delivers stable ranging performance in both indoor and outdoor environments, with exceptional anti-sunlight interference capability. The S2 and S2E models support up to 30m ranging for white objects and 10m for low-reflectivity black objects (10% reflectivity), while the S2L offers 18m for white objects and 8m for black objects. The S2E features Ethernet port output for industrial integration, while the S2/S2L use UART serial port output, perfectly adapting to mobile robots, AGVs, autonomous driving, and UAV flight control scenarios. RPLIDAR C1: The new compact TOF LiDAR, designed for seamless integration with its ultra-small form factor and light weight (only 106g). It supports 360° scanning, 5KHz sampling frequency, and 8-12Hz adjustable scanning frequency, with a maximum ranging distance of 12m for white objects and 6m for black objects. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, it is ideal for compact robots, smart home devices, and space-constrained automation projects. Key Advantages 360° Omnidirectional Perception: Full 360° unobstructed laser scanning delivers high-precision positioning and superior mapping performance, capturing complete environmental data with zero blind spots. Dual Ranging Technology Options: Both triangulation and advanced TOF ranging solutions are available. TOF technology provides higher stability, stronger ambient light resistance, and better long-range and low-reflectivity object detection performance than traditional triangulation LiDARs. Safety & Long-Term Reliability: Adopting low-power infrared laser emitters with modulated pulse driving, all models meet FDA Class 1 eye safety standards, ensuring absolute safety for humans and pets. The built-in brushless motor minimizes mechanical friction, providing a service life of over 20,000 hours, far exceeding the lifespan of traditional triangulation LiDARs. Comprehensive Development Support: Fully compatible with ROS1 and ROS2, with a complete SDK provided for flexible secondary development. A dedicated Windows client software is available for intuitive debugging and data visualization. It supports core functions including 2D mapping and navigation, LiDAR-assisted visual navigation, APP-based mapping and control, and dynamic target following. Wide Application Adaptability: The series is widely used in ROS robot development, educational research, AGV navigation, smart home appliances, UAV obstacle avoidance, service robots, and autonomous driving projects, meeting needs from entry-level learning to industrial-grade high-demand applications.
