Overview
The Dx50 is a common distance sensor platform, offering multiple performance levels. With measurement ranges of up to 10 m or 20 m on objects or even up to 50 m when measuring on reflector, the Dx50 is suitable for many different applications. Based on a switching, analog or serial interface being available the Dx50 can easily be integrated in any application environment. Also the intuitive operating concept and a visible red laser allow a fast installation of the sensors. Thanks to the innovative HDDM technology the Dx50 provides excellent reliability, immunity to ambient light and precision when being in use. Offering an extremely good price/performance ratio the Dx50 is the right solution in many cases.
- Highest reliability, ambient light immunity and price/performance ratio thanks to HDDM technology
- Measuring ranges of 10 m or 20 m directly on the object or 50 m on the reflector
- Different performance levels depending on the product and laser class
- Various interfaces: Digital, analog or serial
- Display with intuitive and consistent operating concept
- Rugged zinc die cast housing
- Wide operating temperature range from –30 °C to +65 °C
Advantages

The Dx50 product family sets standards thanks to the HDDM technology
Discover here what sets the Dx50 distance sensor apart.




The unique HDDM technology from SICK is a milestone in the development of distance sensor technology. In doing so, the sensor uses the runtime of several laser pulses from the sensor in the direction of the measuring object and back to calculate the distance between the two. This enables stable and gap-free scanning as well as reliable measurement results. And all of this even in dirty, dusty and moist environments.

The compact sensor has a very large ambient temperature range. The Dx50 is resistant to ambient light and the right sensor is available for nearly any application due to its large range of variants.




SICK LifeTime Services
SICK’s services increase machine and plant productivity, enhance the safety of people all over the world, provide a solid foundation for a sustainable business operation, and protect investment goods. In addition to its usual consulting services, SICK provides direct on-site support during the conceptual design and commissioning phases as well as during operation.
The range of services not only covers aspects like maintenance and inspection, but also includes performance checks as well as upgrades and retrofits. Modular or customized service contracts extend the service life of plants and therefore increase their availability. If faults occur or limit values are exceeded, these are detected at all times by the corresponding sensors and systems.
