CA120 and CA120E laser module comparison

The CA120 and CA120E are compact Horizon Series pulse modules with listed range options of 1,000 and 1,800 meters. They provide a starting point for UAV, monitoring, positioning, and other long-range integrations where size and weight matter; confirm target, ambient light, update rate, interface, and range conditions during validation.

FEATURES

  • Two Long-Range Options: Select the version that best matches your project's requirements: 1,000m (CA120) or 1,800m (CA120E).
  • Compact & Lightweight: With a diameter of only 18.5mm and a weight of 20g, it's ideal for space- and weight-constrained applications like drones.
  • Wide Operating Temperature: Listed for operation from -30°C to +50°C, subject to application validation.
  • Adjustable Update Rate: Can be configured for measurement speeds up to 6Hz, suitable for tracking dynamic targets.
  • Simple UART Interface: Provides straightforward digital data output for easy integration with your microcontroller or host system.

APPLICATIONS

 

  • Drone & UAV Systems: Altitude measurement, terrain following, and target positioning.
  • Industrial Automation: Long-range object detection and positioning in large facilities.
  • Security & Surveillance: Monitoring movement and perimeters over extended distances.
  • Logistics & Level Sensing: Measuring fill levels in large silos or positioning of shipping containers.

In the bustling city of Taichung, we conducted a field test in the bright afternoon sun. Our aim was to accurately measure the distance to a distant building and compare it with the results from a rangefinder. The results of this test demonstrate the reliability and accuracy of our measurement tool in real-world conditions.
