Page 12: Electronic Properties
The time-averaged total heat output of the Cube is < 10 W. The heat is primarily output on the mounting side of the Cube. To achieve optimal performance figures, especially at higher ambient temperatures, we recommend mounting the Cube on a prepared mount that can dissipate the generated heat. Cube 1, Cube Range 1 Version 2.1... -
Page 13: Properties
In the Cube, the laser source is a collimated laser diode with a wavelength of 905 nm. The emitted laser source has a collimation of 0.4° for Cube 1 and 0.24° for Cube Range 1. The laser is actuated in such a way that a regular pattern results in the point cloud with the set horizon- tal resolution. -
