SICK Dx50-2 Series Distance Sensor, IP65, IP67, Red Laser Light Source - DT50-2B215252

This distance sensor is a Compact laser-based measurement device designed for detection of natural objects in industrial automation environments. It employs a red laser light source and is built for integration where robust environmental protection and Compact mounting are required. The unit interfaces via IO-Link V1.1 and supports flexible output configurations suitable for control systems.

Features and Benefits:

• Die-cast zinc housing provides mechanical durability and corrosion resistance
  IP65 and IP67 protection allows use in wet or dusty conditions
  NPN/PNP outputs enable direct connection to a variety of controllers
  Response time range 0.83–75 MS supports both fast and steady measurements
  Operating temperature range -40 to 65 °C sustains harsh industrial climates
  5-pin M12 Terminal simplifies wiring and system integration

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor-position sensing in packaging lines
  Ideal for distance measurement of unstructured parts on feeders
  Used for presence detection in robotics end-of-arm tooling
  Can be used for level indication of bulk materials in bins
  Suitable for machine-frame proximity checks in metalworking
