SICK Distance Distance Sensor, Block Sensor

Overview

The Dx35 family of distance sensors, based on HDDM™ technology, combine maximum reliability, measuring capabilities, flexibility and the perfect price-performance ratio in a very compact housing. Depending on the application, sub-product families are available for distance measurement on natural objects (DT35 and DS35) or on reflective tape (DL35 and DR35).The sub-product families also come with different interfaces. In addition to the IO-Link function, which all the devices have, the product family also offers sensors with analogue and switching output (DT and DL) or the option of two switching outputs (DS andDR).

Its final distinguishing feature when selecting the right sensor for the application is the light sender: infrared or red light in laser class 1 or 2.
