Overview
Livox MID-40 is an industrial-grade LiDAR sensor in the MID Series, designed for compact integration and long-range detection. It uses a 905 nm laser (Class 1, IEC60825-1) with Ethernet output and supports time synchronization via IEEE 1588-2008 (PTPv2) and PPS (Pulse Per Second).
Key Features
- Detection range (@ 100 klx): 90 m @ 10% reflectivity; 130 m @ 20% reflectivity; 260 m @ 80% reflectivity
- FOV: 38.4° circular (Mid-40)
- Point rate: 100,000 points/s (Mid-40)
- Range precision (1σ @ 20 m): 2 cm
- Angular precision: < 0.1 deg; Mid Series description states random angular accuracy < 0.05°
- Non-repetitive scanning patterns with increasing FOV coverage as integration time increases
- Environmental: IP67 rating; operating temperature -4 F to 149 F (-20 C to 65 C)

Details

Compact MID Series LiDAR built for OEM integration in mobile robotics, mapping, and industrial sensing.

Key performance figures at a glance—long detection range, fast point output, and centimeter-level ranging for reliable 3D data.


Non-repetitive scanning improves FOV coverage over time, helping capture more scene detail as integration time increases.

Long-range measurement with a wide circular field of view supports obstacle detection and mapping across larger areas.
