A searchable database will allow users to find what they need based on application and operating requirements.

CHARLOTTE, NC, October 02, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Hokuyo Automatic USA Corporation announced its new online Product Guide. The database can be used by engineers, system integrators, OEMs, and end users to help narrow down their search for sensing technology.

There are many factors to consider when selecting the right industrial sensor for an application. Beyond a product name, users may need to know: What are they trying to sense? How far away is the target? What is the operating environment? What interface does the sensor have? Does the application require a safety-rated sensor? The Product Guide lets users browse by product family and narrow the results by application and operating requirements. They can also search by model number, task, industry, and interface.

With 45 product and model groups, the guide covers a wide variety of needs. Its categories include LiDAR & Obstacle Detection, Safety Laser Scanners, Crane Collision Avoidance, Optical Data Transmission, Hot Metal Detectors, and Laser Distance Sensors. Users can narrow their search based on outdoor usage, sensing range, speed, compact size, and safety-rated protection. Links to individual product pages provide further information and specifications.

The Product Guide gives users a way to start with their application and work toward the technology they may need. Someone researching robotics, for example, can explore 2D and 3D LiDAR for navigation and obstacle detection. Someone evaluating personnel protection around a machine can explore safety laser scanners. Users can also learn about crane applications, contactless data transmission, hot metal detection, and distance measurement.

The guide addresses a question Hokuyo USA often receives: What is the difference between a safety laser scanner and a general obstacle detection sensor? Users should check the full model number and current specifications before selecting a sensor. Protecting people from hazards requires consideration of the complete safety system.
