Description:
The RP LIDAR A2M12 360-Degree Laser Range Finder is an advanced, cost-effective 2D laser scanning solution designed for high-performance applications. Featuring a 12-meter range and capable of capturing up to 16,000 laser range samples per second.
This next-generation LIDAR system delivers high rotation speeds and exceptional precision. With OPTMAG technology, the A2M12 overcomes the lifespan limitations of traditional LIDAR systems, ensuring long-term stable operation.
The RPLIDAR A2M12 offers 360-degree scanning with a 12-meter detection range, ideal for mapping, localization, and object/environment modeling. It operates at a typical scanning frequency of 10Hz (600 RPM), providing a resolution of 0.225°, and can be adjusted between 5Hz and 15Hz to meet specific user needs.
The RPLIDAR A2M12 excels in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments, excluding direct sunlight exposure. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing before leaving the factory to ensure its compliance with FDA Class I laser output standards and reliability.

System Connection:
The RPLIDAR A2 consists of a range scanner core and the mechanical powering part which makes the core rotate at a high speed. When it functions normally, the scanner will rotate and scan clockwise. And users can get the range scan data via the communication interface of the RPLIDAR and control the start, stop, and rotating speed of the rotating motor via PWM.
Mechanism:
The RPLIDAR A2 is based on the laser triangulation ranging principle and adopts the high-speed vision acquisition and processing hardware developed by SLAMTEC. The system ranges more than 16000 times per second.
During every ranging process, the RPLIDAR emits a modulated infrared laser signal, and the laser signal is then reflected by the object to be detected. The returning signal is then sampled by a vision acquisition system in RPLIDAR and the DSP embedded in RPLIDAR starts processing the sample data and outputs the distance value and angle value between the object and RPLIDAR via the communication interface. When driven by the motor system, the range scanner core will rotate clockwise and perform the 360-degree scan for the current environment.
Communication Interface:
The RPLIDAR A2 uses separate 5V DC power for powering the range scanner core and the motor system. And the standard RPLIDAR A2 uses an XH2.54-5P male socket. The detailed interface definition is shown in the following figure:
