The NEW IP67 rated Hokuyo UTM-30LX-EW Scanning Laser Rangefinder is a small, affordable and accurate laser scanner that is perfect for small robotic applications. The UTM-30LX-EW is able to report ranges from 100mm to 30m (1mm resolution) with a 270° horizontal field of view (0.25° angular resolution). 
It’s very low power consumption (12V-700ma) allows it to be used on battery operated platforms.
Considering the UTM-30LX-EW has a size profile comparable to a standard credit card, its ability to map objects up to 30m away is remarkable.
The Hokuyo UXM-30LX-EW Scanning Laser Rangefinder is in many ways Hokuyo's most farsighted scanner. Normal objects can be seen up to 50m away, while those difficult to see "low reflectance" objects (10% reflectivity) can be seen from a distance of around 30m. Additionally, the multi-echo functionality ensures that low level "noise" caused by adverse weather conditions such as snow, rain, fog and dust, is filtered out.
The UXM-30LX-EW is available with USB or Ethernet connectivity and weighs in at less than 800g. It’s enhanced outdoor performance enables the UXM-30LX-EW to be utilized in larger mobile robots and intelligent AGV's.
