Velodyne Puck Lidar Sensor

A Smart, Powerful Lidar Solution

Velodynes new PUCK (VLP-16) sensor is the smallest, newest, and most advanced product in Velodynes 3D LiDAR product range. Vastly more cost-effective than similarly priced sensors, and developed with mass production in mind, it retains the key features of Velodynes breakthroughs in LiDAR: Real-time, 360, 3D distance, and calibrated reflectivity measurements.

Dual Returns

Velodyne sensors support a dual return mode that enables lidar applications to more accurately capture the details of complex environments, such as forests, infrastructure and buildings, which contain scattered small objects and non-opaque surfaces. A significant advantage over single returns alone, providing the user with multiple returns greatly increases the number of useable points available to map or navigate any setting. This feature enables Velodynes sensors to deliver the precise 3D image data needed for insights to advance efficiency, safety, sustainability and more.

Real-Time 3D LiDAR

The VLP-16 has a range of 100 m, and the sensors low power consumption (~8 W), light weight (830 g), compact footprint (~103 mm x 72 mm), and dual return capability make it ideal not only for autonomous vehicles but also robotics and mobile terrestrial 3D mapping applications.

Velodynes LiDAR Puck supports 16 channels, ~300,000 points/second, 360 horizontal field of view and a 30 vertical field of view, with 15 up and down. The Velodyne LiDAR Puck does not have visible rotating parts, making it highly resilient in challenging environments (Rated IP67) while operating over a wide temperature range (-10C to +60C).

Patented Surround View Technology

The Puck, built on Velodynes 558 patent, provides a full 360-degree environmental view to deliver accurate real-time 3D data.
