Digital LiDAR Systems & Test Applications
LiDAR Technologies have accurate measurement standards. In many applications sensors virtually need to be unaffected by changes in temperature and other harsh environments. MPI Thermal systems are used to simulate temperature environments. This is to assure reliability when sensors are put into use and exposed to temperature extremes.

LIDAR Sensors & Environmental Testing Applications
The market for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is expanding at an unprecedented rate, primarily fueled by the rising popularity of self-driving vehicles. In this rapidly growing field, LiDAR technology is emerging as a key player. Its role is increasingly vital, with its reliability requirements advancing to meet the complex demands of autonomous driving.
ThermalAir systems temperature testing equipment and chambers can test sensors at temperature ranges from -80°C to +225°C. Sensor manufacturers offer features with reliable operating performance specifications and they guarantee accuracy and stability under the most demanding conditions.
The ThermalAir systems bring localized temperature right to the test. Our ThermalAir systems are used at the test station, in the engineering lab, and on the production test floor.
Bring Precise Temperature Directly to the Test
Thermal Testing Advanced Vehicle LiDAR Systems
LiDAR systems face overheating issues, mainly due to their high-powered lasers. These lasers have a low efficiency rate, with only approximately 10% of the input energy being effectively converted into laser output. The remaining 90% is transformed into heat, posing a significant thermal management challenge. Furthermore, when these systems are used outdoors, solar loading exacerbates the overheating problem, as the additional solar energy contributes to the system’s overall heat load.
Temperature cycling, thermal profiling and other environmental temperature testing is why MPI Thermal systems are part of the LiDAR manufacturing temperature test processes.
