LiDAR Sensors 2D NAV2xx SICK – 2D LiDAR for AGV/AMR Navigation with Range up to 50 m
Overview:
The NAV2xx is a 2D LiDAR sensor series from SICK designed for precise positioning and navigation in AGV and AMR systems. With a scanning range of up to 50 m, a 270° scanning angle, mixed navigation support (reflectors + natural contours), and IP65/IP67 protection, it is ideal for warehouses, factories, and logistics applications.
Important Note: The NAV2xx product line is in the phased-out stage. Orders can still be placed until October 31, 2026. Recommended successor products: multiScan100 or picoScan100. Contact AUMI for migration consulting.
Product Overview of the LiDAR Sensor 2D NAV2xx SICK
The NAV2xx belongs to SICK’s specialized 2D LiDAR navigation sensor family. It is engineered to deliver highly accurate environmental data for real-time position determination in AGV/AMR systems. The sensor supports simultaneous detection of reflectors and natural contours (mixed mode), reducing the number of required reflectors while increasing flexibility in dynamic industrial environments.
The series includes the NAV210 (IP65, for standard industrial use) and NAV245 (IP67 with integrated heating, suitable for cold storage or humid/outdoor conditions). Both variants are lightweight (1.1 kg), feature a high scanning frequency of ≥ 25 Hz, Ethernet + Serial communication, and stable operation across a wide temperature range of –30°C to +50°C.
Key Specifications:
- Working range: 0.5 m … 50 m, 30 m (depending on angle and variant)
- Horizontal scanning angle: 270°
- Scanning frequency: ≥ 25 Hz
- Protection rating: IP65 / IP67 (variant-dependent)
- Connectivity: Ethernet + Serial
- Weight: 1.1 kg

Applications of the NAV2xx SICK in Industry
The NAV2xx is a navigation and positioning sensor for AGV/AMR systems. It is not a safety laser scanner. The device must not be used for personnel protection or safety zone monitoring according to SIL or Performance Level (PL) standards.
- AGV/AMR navigation in factories and automated warehouses: Uses contour and reflector data for highly accurate real-time positioning with a 270° scanning angle and range up to 50 m.
- Automated tugger trains and self-driving forklifts: Supports guidance of material transport vehicles on high-traffic internal routes.
- Logistics systems and distribution centers: Provides stable positioning data for AGV/AMR in warehouses, inbound/outbound areas, and automated transport lines.
- Cold storage and low-temperature environments: The NAV245 model with IP67 rating and integrated heating enables reliable operation from –30°C to +50°C.
- Suitable outdoor navigation applications: Supports reflector-based or natural feature navigation for autonomous vehicles in production and logistics areas under appropriate conditions.

Conclusion:
The NAV2xx is ideal for small to medium-sized AGV and AMR systems that require high position update rates, a compact lightweight design, and reliable operation in low-temperature environments. In contrast, the NAV3xx is designed for larger vehicles with requirements for wide-area coverage and a full 360° scanning angle.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. What applications is the NAV2xx used for?
The NAV2xx is designed for AGV, AMR, automated forklifts, and other autonomous transport systems requiring precise positioning in factories, warehouses, or logistics centers.
Q2. Does the NAV2xx use reflectors or natural contours for navigation?
The NAV2xx supports both reflector navigation and contour navigation simultaneously (mixed mode). This enables accurate positioning even with a reduced number of reflectors.
Q3. What is the difference between NAV210 and NAV245?
The NAV245 features integrated heating and an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for harsh environments or cold storage. The NAV210 has an IP65 rating for standard industrial applications.
Q4. Is the NAV2xx a safety laser scanner?
No. The NAV2xx is an industrial navigation and positioning sensor. It is not designed for safety functions according to SIL or Performance Level (PL) standards.
Q5. Is the NAV2xx still in production?
The NAV2xx is currently in the phased-out stage at SICK. For new projects, customers should consider the successor models multiScan100 or picoScan100.
