The RPLIDAR A2M12 is the next generation low cost 360 degree 2D laser scanner

(LIDAR) solution developed by SLAMTEC. It can take up to 16000 samples of laser

ranging per second with high rotation speed. And equipped with SLAMTEC

patented OPTMAG technology, it breakouts the life limitation of traditional LIDAR

system so as to work stably for a long time.

The system can perform 2D 360-degree scan within a 12-meter range. The

generated 2D point cloud data can be used in mapping, localization and

object/environment modeling.

The typical scanning frequency of RPLIDAR A2M12 is 10Hz(600rpm), and the

frequency can be freely adjusted within the 5-15Hz range according to the specific

requirements. With the 10Hz scanning frequency, the sampling rate is 16kHz and

the angular resolution is 0.225°.

Due to the improvements in SLAMTEC hardware operating performance and

related algorithm, RPLIDAR A2M12 works well in all kinds of indoor environment

and outdoor environment without direct sunlight. Meanwhile, before leaving the

factory, every RPLIDAR A2M12 has passed the strict testing to ensure the laser

output power meet the eye-safety standard of IEC-60825 Class 1.

System connection

The RPLIDAR A2M12 consists of a range scanner core and the mechanical

powering part which makes the core rotate at a high speed. When it functions
