High Precision Positioners Used in the Advancing LiDAR Technology

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an advanced remote sensing technology based on laser ranging and angular measurement. This technology operates by emitting laser beams towards targets and receiving/analyzing the reflected signals to accurately calculate target parameters including distance, velocity, and azimuth angle, thereby enabling precise target detection, tracking, and identification. Compared to traditional microwave radar systems, LiDAR demonstrates significant technical advantages: it offers higher spatial resolution, superior stealth capabilities, stronger resistance to active interference, excellent low-altitude detection performance, as well as compact size and lightweight characteristics.

With continuous advancements in laser technology, LiDAR applications have expanded across multiple domains, including autonomous vehicles, ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems), smart transportation, smart city infrastructure, unmanned aerial vehicles, Robotaxi services, industrial AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), 3D printing, and VR/AR technologies.

Precision positioners, as critical opto-mechanical components, provide essential support for lidar systems. Zolix offers a comprehensive range of high-performance positioners with exceptional accuracy, stability, and flexibility, enabling precise control of optical system positioning and alignment to ensure optimal laser beam collimation and focusing.

Angle Adjustment:

During the assembly and debugging process of LiDAR systems, Zolix's multi-axis stages can be utilized to precisely align the micro-lens and emitter components within the LiDAR module. Additionally, these stages facilitate the adjustment of both horizontal and vertical field-of-view angles, assisting customers in optimizing the distribution uniformity of laser point clouds during LiDAR calibration, thereby ensuring the final product meets its design specifications.

Vibration Testing for Automotive Radar

The HXP series six-axes parallel hexapod enables rapid configuration of vibration and impact simulation platforms. This advanced platform facilitates comprehensive analysis of laser point cloud stability and latency failure characteristics in automotive LiDAR systems under simulated environmental conditions.
