¹ Cobra S range is specified for the Livox Mid-360 at 10% reflectivity and 25°C. Cobra X range and field of view use the selected sensor specifications: XT16 and standard XT32 are rated up to 120 m. Range figures are sensor specifications, not guaranteed mapping distances. See Livox Mid-360 specifications and Hesai XT16, XT32, and XT32M specifications.
The Cobra catalog lists a 300 m Cobra X value. That rating belongs to the XT32M sensor option, not the standard XT32 listed above. Cobra is modular; confirm an XT32M configuration with ModeXion before specifying 300 m coverage.
² Cobra accuracy should be evaluated against project control and operating conditions. Request project accuracy data for the selected setup. Pentra, Radix, and Staris figures are their published model specifications.
³ The Cobra catalog lists one 1.92 kg weight for Cobra X; confirm the installed module and accessory weight for your configuration. ⁴ Cobra S and X share a rated 100-minute battery runtime. Actual runtime depends on use and conditions.
