Neptec OPAL 3 Performance Series
Introducing the completely redesigned OPAL™ 3D LiDAR scanner from Neptec Technologies. Based on the latest innovations in laser optics and intelligent 3D processing, the OPAL™ delivers an unprecedented combination of range, data density, acquisition speed, and obscurant-penetration capability in a smaller, lighter package. The result is one of the most powerful and versatile 3D LiDAR scanners for real-time robotics and autonomous systems specifically designed for harsh environments. The OPAL is available in a number of range models, with conical or panoramic fields-of-view. OPAL™ scanners are fully compatible with the 3DRi™ Software Development Kit (SDK), a library of proprietary algorithms to extract actionable information from the scanners in real-time.

1 Performance in obscurants is dependent on obscurant type and density, laser pulse energy, and target characteristics. Please contact NTCSupport@neptec.com to discuss your specific requirements.
2 Achievable maximum range is dependent on target size, reflectivity, angle of incidence, and PRF, measured at the centre of the FOV in clear atmospheric conditions.
3 Accuracy is the degree of conformity of a measured quantity compared to its actual (true) value.
4 Some distortion effects at the edge of the FOV may impact accuracy as follows: <2.5 cm within 100°, <3.5 cm between 100° FOV and 120° FOV. One sigma at 12 m range as measured under Neptec test conditions.
5 Precision, or repeatability, is the degree to which further measurements provide the same result. One sigma at 12 m range as measured under Neptec test conditions.
6 OPAL Conical LiDARs exhibit a small (1° circular) area of distortion at 8° from the centre of the FOV. Data within this area may be excluded via a software feature.
7 Typical power consumption considers the OPAL LiDAR operating at typical processing demands, with no external peripherals connected to available PoE ports. Power available for peripherals connected to the PoE ports is 100 W total.
8 Assumes adequate convection airflow over the unit. For applications in environments exceeding +40°C, please contact NTCSupport@neptec.com to discuss mounting options.
