DL50Hi variant adds greater precision and a high-speed serial output to the Dx50 family 

Part of the Dx50 family of mid-range distance measurement sensors, the DL50Hi offers an RS422 serial output, one additional switching output (for a total of two – perfect for collision avoidance), and 10 times higher measuring precision. The Dx50 product line features a High-Definition Distance Measurement (HDDM) platform that provides greater precision at longer sensing distances and an industry-leading operating temperature range and ambient light tolerance. With the new DL50Hi, SICK continues to lead the industry in high-performance distance measurement sensors that increase production quality and efficiency.

Features:

• HDDM technology provides the best reliability, immunity to ambient light and price/performance ratio
• Up to 50 m range on diamond grade reflector
• Worlds smallest sensor for high precision positioning
• Highest repeatability in its class, with ≤ 0.5 mm
• Fast RS-422 output rate – measurement value every 2.5 ms
• Immune to cross talk for use with multiple sensors
• Superior background suppression

Applications:

• Ports: positioning of overhead gantry cranes
• Storage and conveyor: positioning of stacker cranes in small warehouses
• Storage and conveyor: positioning of shuttles
• Material handling in automotive and general manufacturing: positioning of overhead conveyors or trays

Benefits:

• Precise positioning enables greater speed and accuracy, which increases throughput
• Highest performance at reasonable investment costs guarantee a short return on investment
• Immune to any type of ambient light - allows for use in optically challenging environments
• Widest temperature range allows for outdoor use without additional cooling or heating accessories
• Intuitive setup via display or remote teach reduces installation time and costs
• Red light and an optional alignment bracket reduces installation time
• Metal housing withstands harsh environments, saving replacement costs
• Worlds smallest sensor for high precision positioning for use in applications with limited space
