Overview
For reliable distance measurement, both indoors and outdoors: The Dx1000 long range distance sensor with infrared laser is ideal for use on cranes, for detecting vehicles in traffic applications, and for measuring hot steel slabs in a steel mill. The Dx1000 features exceptional versatility in any application – HDDM+ (High Definition Distance Measurement with multi-echo technology) enables distance measurements with high measurement accuracy, even in the presence of ambient light, rain, snow, and fog. It excels at axial object tracking and quickly detecting the edges of objects moved in from the side. The device does all this at measurement cycle times of down to one millisecond, making it ideal for use in control loops.
- Long range distance sensor with infrared laser featuring HDDM+ technology
- Measures natural objects (DT1000) or reflectors (DL1000)
- Dust-proof and waterproof housing (IP 65 and IP 67) made of highly corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy
- Configurable digital inputs and outputs, analog output, RS-422/SSI
- Measures hot surfaces (DT1000)
Advantages
Innovative technology ensures reliable measurement results
Reliable distance measurements in inclement weather
Very high resistance to ambient light and faults in the measurement path which could be caused by environmental factors such as rain, snow or fog
High reliability even under adverse ambient conditions
High measurement uncertainty with intuitive operation
Make the right selection quickly and easily
Reliable fill level measurement of liquid aluminum thanks to the multi-echo technology of the Dx1000
The wide variety of adjustments possible with the Dx1000 can be performed quickly, easily, and with a high degree of reliability – either directly on the device via the display using the graphical touch display or using the SOPAS ET system
Intuitive for reliable measurement thanks to multi-echo technology
Innovative distance measurement in compact housing
The Dx1000 with HDDM+ is perfectly suited for the measurement of very long distances - with relatively short measurement cycle times as little as 1 ms and low noise in measurement value data. The sensor variants DT1000 for distance measurement on natural objects and DL1000 for measuring on reflectors cover a wide spectrum of uses and offer high flexibility in application. When measuring on natural objects, the DT1000 reaches distances of over 450 m. The DL1000 has a maximum sensing range of 1,500 m when measuring on “diamond-grade” reflective tape.
Designed for all kinds of requirements
The measurement technology of the DT1000 is designed for distance measurements on hot surfaces, meaning it is perfectly suited for non-contact measurement or positioning hot steel slabs
The scalability of the measuring range represents a key feature of the DT1000: When measuring on natural objects, the sensing range of the sensor can be increased and optimally adjusted to the measuring task by setting a longer measurement cycle time
