Long-Range 2D LiDAR for Critical Industrial Monitoring
The HOKUYO UST-30LX is a high-performance 2D LiDAR sensor
engineered for expansive industrial environments, offering an
industry-leading 30-meter detection range (up to 60 meters with
high reflectivity) and a 270° scanning angle. Designed for
applications requiring precise long-range monitoring, such as
outdoor AGV navigation, large-scale warehouse automation, and
perimeter security, it delivers exceptional accuracy (±40 mm) and
repeatability (σ <30 mm) even at maximum distances. Its Class 1
infrared laser (905 nm) ensures eye-safe operation, while the
IP67-rated enclosure and robust construction (50×50×70 mm, 130 g)
withstand harsh conditions, including dust, water immersion, and
vibrations up to 300 m/s². Unlike the UST-20LX, which offers a
20-meter range, the UST-30LX provides extended coverage, making it
ideal for sprawling facilities like ports, mines, and automotive
plants.
Advanced Sensing for Dynamic Industrial Applications
Equipped with advanced signal processing algorithms, the UST-30LX
effectively filters ambient noise and interference, ensuring
reliable detection in challenging lighting conditions or
environments with reflective surfaces. Its 40 Hz scanning frequency
and 0.25° angular resolution enable high-speed, detailed mapping,
critical for dynamic applications like high-speed conveyor
monitoring or collision avoidance in busy logistics hubs. The
sensor supports both Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) and RS-422
interfaces, facilitating seamless integration with PLCs, robotic
controllers, and IoT platforms. While Sick’s LMS151 offers
comparable range, the UST-30LX distinguishes itself with its
compact form factor and lower power consumption (150 mA typical),
making it suitable for mobile and battery-powered systems.
Strategic Solution for Smart Factory Integration
The UST-30LX is designed to meet the evolving demands of Industry
4.0, offering compatibility with HOKUYO’s URG BENRI Plus software
for intuitive configuration and ROS middleware for streamlined
robotic integration. Its ability to generate dense point clouds
(7,200 points/sec) supports advanced analytics, such as occupancy
grid mapping and object classification, enhancing situational
awareness in automated systems. Compared to Velodyne’s 3D LiDARs,
which prioritize volumetric scanning, the UST-30LX delivers
cost-effective 2D coverage for large areas, optimizing budget
without compromising performance. With CE, FCC, and RoHS
certifications, it ensures global compliance, while its wide
operating temperature range (-10°C to +50°C) makes it versatile for
diverse industrial settings. Whether deployed in automotive
assembly lines, logistics hubs, or outdoor mining operations, the
UST-30LX provides the long-range precision and reliability needed
to drive efficient, safe automation.
