MiniUAC-7512D
Dual-Frequency Forward-Looking Multibeam Sonar
Most Balanced Performance Imaging Sonar
When you're designing inspection ROVs or autonomous AUVs, space and payload are always tight. But navigating blind in turbid waters or relying solely on short-range cameras simply isn't an option.
That's exactly why we built the MiniUAC-7512D. It’s an incredibly compact, dual-frequency forward-looking multibeam sonar that fits in the palm of your hand and weighs under 1kg in the air. Because it operates at both 750kHz and 1.2MHz, it gives you and your autonomous algorithms the flexibility to handle two distinct jobs with a single sensor: wide-area situational awareness at long ranges, and sub-centimeter target identification up close.
We also made sure it drops right into your existing setup. It connects to your host computer via standard 100M Ethernet. To keep communications clean and reliable, we split the software traffic: commands run over a robust TCP link, while the heavy, uncompressed acoustic imagery streams back over UDP.
Whether you need a dependable obstacle-avoidance sensor for an unmanned platform or a high-resolution imaging tool for close-up structural inspections, the MiniUAC-7512D delivers real-time acoustic feedback with an impressive image refresh rate of 40Hz or higher.
MiniUAC-7512D Imaging Sonar
Key Features:
- High-Resolution Imaging: 512-beam (interpolated) forward-looking sonar with 0.6° angular and 2.5 mm range resolution (7.5 mm in CW mode) for crisp target detailing.
- 150° Wide Field of View: Provides a broad 150° horizontal × 20° vertical acoustic coverage ahead of the vehicle to maximize situational awareness.
- Dual-Frequency Range: Seamlessly switch between 750kHz for long-range detection up to 120 m, and 1.2MHz for high-precision imaging up to 40 m.
- Pocket-Sized Integration: Measures just 105 × 150 × Φ72 mm, weighs ≤1kg (in air), and draws ≤ 35W average power—built for tight micro-ROV/AUV payloads.
- Smart Synchronized Modes: Supports automated obstacle avoidance outputs, integrated tracking (attitude/pressure/temperature), and RS485 trigger synchronization for multi-device operations.
- Depth-Rated Housings: Rugged design options tailored for deep-sea environments: Aluminum Alloy with sacrificial anodes (600 m) or Titanium Alloy (2000 m).
