SICK Distance Distance Sensor, Block Sensor

SICK Dx35 Series Distance Sensor, IP67, Red Laser Light Source - DT35-B15551

This distance sensor is a mid-range laser measuring device designed for industrial automation and machine integration, providing distance readings to natural objects using a visible red laser and IO-Link communication. It operates from a DC supply and is housed in a Compact ABS/PC plastic Block suited to panel installation, offering protection against dust and water ingress for demanding environments.

Features & Benefits

• Measuring range up to 12,000mm with 90% remission for long-reach capability
  Resolution 0.1mm enabling precise distance discrimination
  Response time as fast as 4.5ms allowing high-speed detection
  Push-pull NPN/PNP outputs with less than or equal to 100mA current for flexible wiring
  Analogue output selectable 4mA–20mA or 0V–10V for process integration

**Applications**

• Suitable for object position monitoring on conveyor lines
  Ideal for level measurement of bulk materials with reflective surfaces
  Used for distance feedback in pick-and-place automation
  Can be used for presence detection where background suppression is required
  Suitable for integration into control systems requiring IO-Link parameter exchange

What laser safety level does it meet and what Wavelength is used?

It uses a visible red laser at 658 nm and complies with laser class 1 standards according to IEC/EN 60825-1.

How is the sensor connected to control hardware?

It uses a 5-pin M12 male connector providing power, multifunction input and two adaptable outputs Plus IO-Link data transmission at 38.4 kbit/s.

What environmental limits should installers consider?

The device operates between –30 °C and +55 °C in operation and can be stored from –40°C to +75°C with maximum relative humidity up to 95% non‑condensing.

How configurable are the outputs for different control schemes?

Outputs can be set via the IO-Link channel to act as current, voltage or digital signals and switching logic can be inverted or taught.

Are there options for mounting and cabling in industrial setups?

The sensor is suited to panel mount and offers recommended mounting brackets, clamp plates and M12 cable options for straightforward installation.
