Hokuyo UST-05LX Scanning Laser Rangefinder
R444-UST-05LX
The UST-05LX scanning laser rangefinder is a low power, small, accurate, high-speed device for obstacle detection. This model uses Ethernet interface for communication and can obtain measurement data in a 270° field of view up to a distance of 5 meters with millimeter resolution.
The UST-05LX is the most compact and lightweight distance scanning Rangefinder of its kind. The device is W50×D50×H70mm and weighs only 130g. With a wide detection range of 270º and 40Hz response time, the UST-05LX detects size, position and the moving direction of nearby or oncoming objects up to 5 meters away with extreme accuracy. Most commonly, this scanner is found in interactive media systems and autonomous robotics like self-driving vehicles or other applications that warrant optoelectronics to decipher the surrounding environments and output optical data. Purchase your UST-05LX today and discover the future of fast-response distance data output.
