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.

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.

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.
