UST-05LN Hokuyo Laser Sensor Low Power 5m Compact Lidar Sensor For Indoor Navigation

High-Precision 2D LiDAR for Compact Industrial Applications

The HOKUYO UST-05LN is a cutting-edge 2D LiDAR sensor engineered for industrial automation tasks demanding exceptional accuracy in confined spaces. With a 5-meter detection range (extendable to 15 meters under optimal conditions) and a 270° scanning angle, it delivers comprehensive environmental perception for applications such as collaborative robot (cobot) guidance, small AGV navigation, and precise object detection in manufacturing cells. Its Class 1 infrared laser (905 nm) ensures eye-safe operation while achieving ±20 mm accuracy and σ <15 mm repeatability, setting a new standard for precision in its class. The sensor’s compact design (50×50×70 mm, 130 g) and IP65-rated enclosure make it ideal for integration into space-constrained systems, while its low power consumption (150 mA typical) extends battery life in mobile applications. Unlike the UST-05LX, which prioritizes range, the UST-05LN enhances precision, making it better suited for tasks like pick-and-place operations in electronics manufacturing.

Advanced Sensing for Dynamic Industrial Environments

Equipped with advanced signal processing algorithms, the UST-05LN 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 real-time applications like collision avoidance in shared workspaces. 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 TIM310 offers comparable compactness, the UST-05LN distinguishes itself with its superior accuracy and multi-echo capability, which can detect multiple objects in a single laser beam path. This feature is particularly valuable in applications involving transparent materials or overlapping targets.

Strategic Solution for Smart Factory Integration

The UST-05LN 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-05LN delivers cost-effective 2D coverage optimized for precision tasks, reducing unnecessary data complexity and computational load. 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 food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or logistics automation, the UST-05LN provides the accuracy and reliability needed to drive efficient, safe operations.
