Laser distance sensors are devices that use laser technology to measure the distance between an object and the sensor. The basic principle involves emitting a laser beam and measuring the time or phase shift of its reflection to calculate the position or distance of the target object. Compared to traditional ultrasonic or electromagnetic sensors, laser distance sensors offer higher measurement accuracy and longer measurement ranges, making them especially suitable for applications requiring precise and long-distance measurements.

Laser distance sensors are widely used in various fields such as industrial automation, robot navigation, construction measurement, and automotive collision avoidance systems. In industrial automation, laser sensors can accurately detect object positions, shapes, and dimensions, commonly used in material handling and automated production lines. In robot navigation, they help robots recognize surrounding environments and obstacles, ensuring smooth operation. The high precision and reliability of laser distance sensors make them an indispensable key device in many high-demand applications.

With the continuous development of laser technology, the range of applications for laser distance sensors will further expand, particularly in areas such as smart manufacturing, the Internet of Things, and autonomous driving, where they are expected to play an increasingly important role.
