Built on a direct Time‑of‑Flight (dToF) measurement principle, it uses a Class 1 eye‑safe visible red laser to achieve accurate, stable ranging performance even in challenging aquatic environments. Featuring an extended detection range exceeding five meters in low‑turbidity water (representing a tenfold improvement over earlier Benewake underwater models), the TF‑UW500 enables highly detailed underwater perception. Centimeter‑level accuracy and millimeter‑level repeatability support precise mapping and coordinate positioning, making the LiDAR especially effective for applications such as underwater robotics and pool cleaning systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row margin-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Text-1\" class=\"rStart col-xs-12 rEnd product-content-module text-module\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TF‑UW500 maintains compact dimensions (24mm × 16mm × 20.4mm) and a lightweight structure under five grams, ensuring easy integration into miniaturized underwater platforms.

Advanced anti‑glare and anti‑interference algorithms further enhance signal stability in turbid or reflective environments. TF‑UW500 is also calibrated for 10+ common underwater materials, ensuring consistent accuracy across diverse pool surfaces such as tiles, marble, and cement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row margin-bottom\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Text-3\" class=\"rStart col-xs-12 rEnd product-content-module text-module\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith support for UART and I\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003eC communication interfaces, low power consumption (5V × 100mA typical), and a durable optical‑electrical design, the TF‑UW500 provides a robust, highly adaptable sensing solution for underwater navigation, obstacle detection, and environmental perception.
