Cube 1

Compact solid-state 3D LiDAR sensor

The versatile 3D LiDAR sensor features a software-defined flexibly adaptable field of view and configurable scan pattern. The Cube 1 offers a wide field of view and long-range detection while maintaining a compact form factor and light weight. The proprietary solid-state technology is maintenance-free and durable. The on-device pre-processing and the easy-to-use web user interface make Cube 1 a smart solution for numerous applications.

Intuitive web user interface

Intuitive web user interface

With the intuitive user interface, the Cube 1 can be quickly put into operation and be individually configured in real-time.

Unrivaled small size

Small size

The Cube 1’s compact size and light weight of as little as 275 grams makes it the perfect fit for various applications.

Configurable scan pattern

The field-of-view, number of scan lines, and scan rate can be flexibly customized to meet every application’s needs.

All-environment sensing 

The Blickfeld Cube 1 Outdoor provides high-quality data even in adverse environmental conditions such as rain, fog, and snow.  The IP65-rated housing is specially designed for demanding applications that require a dust and waterproof sensing solution. With its Power over Ethernet capability and no need for clumsy adapter boxes, installation time and maintenance efforts are kept at a minimum.

Additional Features

We chose the Cube 1 due to its solid-state nature, which makes it very resistant to vibrations, that are a major challenge when operating drones.

Frequently Asked Questions

You need an end device with a recent internet browser to configure the device and view data output. The Cube 1 standard variant comes with a power supply unit with the approriate connector and an ethernet cable for data transmission, while the Cube 1 Outdoor and Qb2 products additionally require standard Power over Ethernet power supplying equipment. Blickfeld offers a range of optional accessories for mounting and cabling the devices.

Sensors can interfere with each other if they face each other directly or illuminate the same highly reflective objects in their field of views. However, due to the unique optical design of Blickfeld LiDARs, this interference is kept at a minimum. Double images or similar artifacts cannot occur. Merely a slightly increased false detection rate will be noticeable in worst-case scenarios.
