HDL-32E Datasheet

Product catalog summary

Overview: The HDL-32E is a high-definition real-time 3D LiDAR sensor designed by Velodyne for demanding industrial applications such as autonomous vehicle control, mobile mapping, aerial 3D mapping, and security surveillance. It is compact, measuring 144 mm by 85 mm and weighing 1.0 kg, making it suitable for applications with space and weight constraints.

Specifications: The sensor features 32 LiDAR channels with a vertical field of view from +10.67° to -30.67° and a 360° horizontal field of view. It can generate up to 695,000 points per second with a range of up to 100 meters and typical accuracy of ±2 cm. The HDL-32E supports both single and dual return modes, with dual return mode generating up to 1,390,000 points per second.

Technical Details: The sensor operates with a power consumption of 12 W and requires an operating voltage between 9 V and 18 V. It is classified as a Class 1 eye-safe laser product with a wavelength of 903 nm. The device is environmentally protected with an IP67 rating and can operate in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C.

Connectivity and Data Output: The HDL-32E includes a 100 Mbps Ethernet connection and outputs data via UDP packets containing time of flight distance measurements, calibrated reflectivity measurements, rotation angles, and synchronized time stamps. It also supports GPS data input, although a GPS receiver is not included.

Ordering Information: The product is available in various configurations with different cable lengths and connector types, including options with M12 connectors and interface boxes.

HDL-32E HIGH DEFINITION REAL-TIME 3D LiDAR SENSOR HDL-32E Stylishly small and ruggedly built with an unrivaled ﬁeld of view, Velodyne’s HDL-32E LiDAR sensor was designed to exceed the demands of the most challenging, real-world industrial applications including autonomous vehicle control and operation, mobile terrestrial mapping, aerial 3D mapping and security surveillance. The HDL-32E measures only 144 mm by 85 mm and weighs 1.0 kg (plus 0.3 kg for cabling). Its compact size and weight makes it for all LiDAR applications, in particular those with constrained form factors and pricing requirements but still demand high performance. Unprecedented Field of View and Point Density The HDL-32E’s innovative multi-channel array enables navigation and mapping systems to observe more of their environment than any other LiDAR sensor. The HDL-32E utilizes 32 LiDAR channels aligned from +10.67° to -30.67° to provide an unmatched vertical ﬁeld of view, and its patented rotating head design delivers a real-time 360° horizontal ﬁeld of view. The HDL-32E generates a point cloud of up to 695,000 points per second with a range of up to 100 m and a typical accuracy of ±2 cm. The resulting comprehensive point cloud coverage within a single data stream makes the HDL-32E an indispensable part of any sensor suite.
