Precise detection from a distance 

The DS50 offers two switching outputs. With a range of up to 10 m, superb background suppression, ambient light and cross talk immunity, it allows reliable detection at a safe distance. Based on three different switching modes (Distance to Object – DtO, Window - Wnd, or Object between Sensor and Background - ObSB) any material can easily be detected. 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 DS50, 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
• Reliable detection up to 10 m
• High switching repeatability (±3 mm)
• Two discrete outputs with up to 50 Hz switching frequency
• Three switching modes: "Distance to Object," "Window" or "Object Between Sensor & Background" - detects any object
• Immune to cross talk for use with multiple sensors
• Superior background suppression

Benefits:

• Precise detection at a safe distance reduces scrap and increases throughput
• 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
• 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
• DX50 family is based on a common platform, which offers multiple performance levels, making it easy to accommodate future changes
• Low investment costs and high performance guarantee short return on investment

Applications:

• Automotive: fill level of trays
• Automotive: small part detection from a safe distance
• Storage and conveyor: anti collision of overhead conveyors
• Storage and conveyor: bay loading control
• Material handling in general manufacturing: fill level control of hoppers and containers, diameter control of coils, etc.
