SICK Distance Sensor, Block Sensor, 500 → 155000 mm, NPN/PNP, IP67

Overview

For reliable distance measurement, both indoors and outdoors: The Dx1000 long range distance sensor with infrared laser is ideal for use on cranes, for detecting vehicles in traffic applications, and for measuring hot steel slabs in a steel mill. The Dx1000 features exceptional versatility in any application – HDDM+ (High Definition Distance Measurement with multi-echo technology) enables distance measurements with high measurement accuracy, even in the presence of ambient light, rain, snow, and fog. It excels at axial object tracking and quickly detecting the edges of objects moved in from the side. The device does all this at measurement cycle times of down to one millisecond, making it ideal for use in control loops.

At a glance

• Long range distance sensor with infrared laser featuring HDDM+ technology
• Measures natural objects (DT1000) or reflectors (DL1000)
• Dust-proof and waterproof housing (IP 65 and IP 67) made of highly corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy
• Configurable digital inputs and outputs, analog output and fieldbus interfaces (dependent on variant)
• Measures hot surfaces (DT1000)

Your Benefits

• Reliable distance measurement indoors and outdoors enables high system availability
• Multi-echo technology can suppress undesirable reflections – enabling use in a wider range of applications
• Comprehensive options for adjustments enable perfect adaptation to the individual measuring task
• Fast, safe commissioning using a graphical touch display, convenient SOPAS ET user interface and red alignment laser
• A small number of device variants (standardization) accommodating a wide range of requirements keeps costs down
• Laser class 1 and therefore eye-safe

Applications

• Monitoring of the quay area
• Container stack measurement
• Crane-to-crane collision avoidance
• Contour detection of stacks of containers
• Collision avoidance between cranes and the end of the path
• Detecting the trolley position and determining the height position of the spreader
• Determination of the spreader height position
• Determining free capacity in truck parking rows
• Position detection of trains at stops
• Positioning stadium roofs
• Distance monitoring when retracting or rolling out stadium lawns
• Position determination of stackers and reclaimers
• Determining the height position of the lifting equipment
• Collision avoidance for rail-mounted gantry cranes
