HOKUYO offers a diverse range of industrial sensor products, primarily focused on laser sensors, safety laser scanners, obstacle detection systems, optical data transmission devices, and laser distance measurement solutions. Below are some of its core product categories and examples:

1. Laser Sensors (LiDAR)

• 2D Laser Scanners:

• UST Series: Models like UST-05LX (5m range, 270° FOV), UST-10LX (10m range, 270° FOV), and UST-20LX (20m range, 270° FOV) are designed for obstacle detection, collision avoidance, and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) applications in robots, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and autonomous systems.

• Compact & Robust Design: These sensors feature IP65 protection, low power consumption, and compatibility with ROS (Robot Operating System), making them suitable for industrial automation and logistics.

• 3D Laser Scanners:

• 3D LiDAR Models: Offer 35m maximum range, 210° horizontal, and 40° vertical field of view, providing rich point cloud data for advanced environmental perception in robotics, drones, and outdoor mapping.

2. Safety Laser Scanners & Obstacle Detection

• Safety-Certified Scanners: HOKUYO provides laser scanners with safety ratings (e.g., for Zone Monitoring in AGVs, cranes, and factory automation) to prevent collisions and ensure safe human-robot collaboration.

• Applications: Used in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and ports for real-time obstacle detection and dynamic path planning.

3. Optical Data Transmission Devices

• High-Speed Optical Communication: Products like the BWF Series support RS-232C, RS-422, and multi-drop interfaces for reliable data transfer in industrial networks, reducing electromagnetic interference in harsh environments.

4. Laser Distance Sensors
