Overview
WLR-720 is a 16-line Mechanical LiDAR (Yahboom / VANJEE / WANJEE Technology) based on the TOF (Time of Flight) ranging principle, designed for 360° panoramic scanning and environmental 3D perception. It supports up to 120 m scanning radius, provides high-quality raw point cloud data within a 30° vertical field of view, and integrates a built-in 6-axis IMU for outputting angular velocity and acceleration data via PC software/host computer. Typical applications include navigation and positioning for low-speed vehicles and robots, outdoor high-precision map drawing, and obstacle detection.
