Details

Yunshis SK40 is a compact 40 m laser distance module designed for millimeter-level ranging and simple UART TTL (3.3 V) integration.

An industrial-grade build focused on high precision, low power consumption, and compact size for embedded robotics projects.

Single-point phase-shift ranging makes the SK40 a practical distance sensor for robotics and automation control loops.

Key optical and sensing components include the laser transmitter/receiver, a high-quality laser diode, and a photoelectric chip.

A small footprint helps the module fit inside tight enclosures while keeping the optical head aligned for stable measurements.

Common use cases include dimension measurement, infrastructure monitoring, elevator monitoring, mine monitoring, and smart production lines.
