Hokuyo – UTM-30LX / UTM-30LX-EW

Long‑Range Precision LiDAR for Advanced Mobility and Mapping

The Hokuyo UTM‑30LX and UTM‑30LX‑EW are high‑performance 2D LiDAR sensors engineered for reliable obstacle detection, localization, and environmental mapping in mobile robotics and automation systems. Both models provide a wide 270° scanning field and a long detection range up to 30 m, capturing distance data with high resolution and repeatability. The UTM‑30LX features a USB interface for easy integration and versatile indoor/outdoor use, while the UTM‑30LX‑EW adds Ethernet connectivity, multi‑echo detection, and a robust IP67 protective housing for enhanced outdoor performance and adverse conditions. These sensors deliver precise scanning performance for AGV/AMR navigation, SLAM, and industrial automation applications.
