Introducing the Hokuyo UCT‑10LCM: Ultra‑Slim 3D LiDAR for Forklifts and Compact Automation Applications

The Hokuyo UCT‑10LCM is a compact, ultra‑slim, multi-echo, 3D LiDAR designed for high‑performance automation in environments where space is limited. With a housing thickness of just 20 mm, it integrates seamlessly into forklift tips, AGVs, AMRs and fixed installations where traditional sensors cannot be accommodated.

Enhanced 3D awareness in tight spaces

The UCT‑10LCM features a three‑layer scanning system with vertical angles at 0°, +3°, and –3°, enabling reliable detection of steps, pallet edges, and low‑lying obstacles.

Its 100° field of view and 0.125° angular resolution support precise mapping and object recognition, even in dynamic environments.

Range: 10 m
Scan speed: 16.7ms / layer in multi‑layer mode, 50ms in single-layer mode
Accuracy – +/-40mm
Equipped with multi-echo function allowing for detection in dust, rain or fog
Protection rating: IP65
Weight – 100g

Built for industrial reliability

Advanced filtering modes ensure accurate performance indoors and outdoors, including in rain, fog, or dusty environments.

The sensor allows configuration of two selectable areas, each consisting of five regions with outputs activated if/when obstacles intrude into defined areas. Additionally, the sensor features a self‑diagnostic function to reduce downtime and ensure optimal performance.
