The Applications

1. High-Bay Stacker Crane Positioning in Automated Warehouses

Modern automated warehouses rely on tall stacker cranes that must move quickly and stop with absolute precision when retrieving pallets. The DL100-21AA2112 excels here because its long 100-meter range and fast 1 ms cycle time allow the crane to continuously monitor its distance from fixed reflector points. Even when traveling at high speeds, the sensor maintains millimeter-level consistency, preventing overshoot during vertical or horizontal placement. Its bright laser spot helps technicians align the system during installation, and built-in diagnostics warn operators if dust or misalignment reduces signal quality. This combination ensures stable pallet handling, fewer positioning errors, and smoother warehouse throughput.

2. Indoor Bridge Crane Anti-Collision and Span Position Control

Large indoor bridge cranes often share aisles or operate near heavy equipment, making collision prevention a top priority. Using the DL100-21AA2112, the crane continuously measures distance to reflectors or other moving cranes along the runway. Its extremely fast response time ensures the control system receives distance updates quickly enough to trigger controlled slow-down or stop commands. The sensor’s stable performance under intense indoor lighting prevents measurement drift, and its rugged aluminum housing withstands vibration, dust, and daily industrial wear. By providing reliable long-range feedback, the sensor helps cranes maintain safe spacing, aligns bridge positions accurately, and reduces the risk of costly collisions or unnecessary downtime.

3. Transfer Car & Shuttle Vehicle Travel Axis Feedback

Transfer cars and shuttle vehicles often move materials between production lines, requiring precise docking at loading and unloading points. The DL100-21AA2112 supports this by delivering continuous distance measurements even at high motion speeds up to 15 m/s. As the shuttle moves along its track, the sensor reads distance to a reflector and transmits near-real-time data back to the controller via PROFINET. The high repeatability ensures the shuttle stops exactly at the intended location, improving handover accuracy between machines. Its stable performance in fast-changing ambient conditions prevents false readings, enabling smoother, safer travel and reducing wear caused by abrupt braking or repeated manual adjustments.

4. Long Conveyor Extension Monitoring & Motion Verification

Many large conveyors, telescopic loading systems, or long-travel mechanical assemblies require precise distance feedback to ensure they extend, retract, or align correctly. The DL100-21AA2112 provides accurate measurements over long stretches, allowing operators to monitor the conveyor’s motion and verify its end positions. Because the sensor maintains consistent accuracy despite vibration or ambient light, it can detect early signs of misalignment, mechanical wear, or unexpected drift. Its warning functions also alert maintenance teams to contamination or overheating before performance is affected. This proactive monitoring prevents jams, reduces mechanical stress, and ensures the conveyor operates smoothly throughout long production cycles.
