Compact 2D LiDAR Sensor for Autonomous Navigation
The HOKUYOU ST-05LX is a cutting-edge 2D LiDAR sensor engineered for industrial automation, particularly in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). With a compact form factor of 50×50×70 mm and weighing just 130 grams, it sets a new standard for space-efficient design without compromising performance. Its 270° scanning angle and 5-meter detection range (up to 15 meters under optimal conditions) enable comprehensive environmental mapping, making it ideal for obstacle detection and real-time localization in dynamic warehouse or manufacturing settings. Equipped with an Ethernet interface, the sensor delivers high-speed data at 40 Hz with ±40 mm accuracy and σ <30 mm repeatability, ensuring precise object tracking even in fast-moving scenarios. Low power consumption (150 mA typical) and IP65-rated durability further enhance its suitability for battery-powered systems and harsh industrial environments.
Advanced Features for Robust Industrial Integration
Designed with versatility in mind, the ST-05LX combines advanced functionality with user-friendly operation. Its semiconductor laser (905 nm, Class 1 safety) ensures reliable performance across varying light conditions, while the built-in synchronization output and photo-coupler inputs/outputs facilitate seamless integration with existing automation systems. The sensor’s rapid 25 ms scan speed and 0.25° angular resolution capture minute details, supporting applications like material handling, overhead crane navigation, and semiconductor manufacturing. Unlike competitors relying on USB interfaces, the ST-05LX’s Ethernet connectivity offers faster data throughput and longer transmission distances, critical for large-scale AGV fleets or complex logistics networks. Additionally, its wide operating temperature range (-10°C to +50°C) and vibration resistance (10–55 Hz) ensure consistent operation in extreme industrial environments.
Future-Proof Solution for Smart Manufacturing
The ST-05LX is not just a sensor but a strategic asset for Industry 4.0 initiatives. Its compact design and lightweight construction make it easy to install on mobile robots or embedded systems, enabling agile automation without reconfiguring existing infrastructure. The sensor’s compatibility with HOKUYOU’s URG BENRI Plus software and IP discovery tools streamlines setup and calibration, reducing downtime during deployment. Compared to Yujin’s heavier and higher-power sensors, the ST-05LX excels in airborne or weight-sensitive applications while maintaining superior range and speed. With support for multiple communication protocols and EMC compliance (EN 61326-1, EN 55011), it seamlessly integrates with IoT platforms and meets global regulatory standards. Whether optimizing warehouse workflows or enhancing robotic precision, the ST-05LX empowers industries to achieve smarter, safer, and more efficient operations.
