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
With the intuitive user interface, the Cube 1 can be quickly put into operation and be individually configured in real-time.
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.
Additional Features
- Power over Ethernet
- Easy installation and setup
- On-device motion detection
- PTP and NTP time synchronization options
- Built-in IMU
- TAA Compliant
- Silent and discreet device
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, Qb2 products and QbProtect only require Power over Ethernet power supplying equipment. Blickfeld offers a range of optional accessories for mounting and cabling the devices.
Yes. You can find corresponding ROS(2) drivers on the Blickfeld website at https://www.blickfeld.com/resources/.
The Cube 1 is still available for ongoing projects, but we recommend considering alternative options for future developments.
To transition from Cube 1 to a recommended replacement, follow these steps:
1. Review the datasheets and technical documentation for Qb2 and QbProtect to understand the differences in specifications and performance.
2. Reach out to our sales or customer support teams to discuss your specific use case and technical requirements. They can help you determine the best replacement option based on your project needs.
