Product Description

SICK DT1000-S11101 Laser Distance Sensor | Dx1000 Series

Precision Meets Performance in Long-Range Laser Distance Sensing

The SICK DT1000-S11101 is a high-performance time-of-flight laser distance sensor engineered for extreme precision and reliability in long-range industrial measurement tasks. Whether you’re monitoring crane positions, verifying object distances in steel mills, or automating high-temperature processes, the DT1000 delivers unparalleled accuracy, even in harsh environments and long-distance applications up to 460 meters.

 


Product Overview

The DT1000-S11101 from SICK’s Dx1000 series is designed to solve one of the most common challenges in industrial automation: accurate distance measurement over long ranges and in difficult environmental conditions. Utilizing the HDDM+ measurement principle, it ensures stable results across variable surfaces, ambient light conditions, and reflective factors.

With infrared laser and built-in alignment aid, rugged IP65/IP67 housing, and smart filtering algorithms (fog, rain, snow), this sensor is tailor-made for industries like mining, steel, transport, logistics, and crane operations. The model’s multiple data interfaces (Ethernet, RS-422, SSI) ensure easy integration into existing systems.

Applications

  • Crane Collision Avoidance in Shipping Ports
    Mounted on gantry cranes, the sensor measures the distance to nearby cranes or obstacles. Its long-range detection and fast response time help prevent collisions during high-speed operations in port terminals.
  • Train Docking Alignment at Platforms
    Deployed at train stations, the sensor tracks the approaching train’s position, ensuring it stops precisely at designated doors. Its measurement accuracy and real-time feedback ensure smooth alignment with automated platform systems.

  • Stack Height Detection in Container Yards
    Used on stacking cranes, the sensor determines the height of container piles. Its ability to handle varying surface reflectivity and long distances ensures safe and efficient stacking and retrieval operations.

  • Steel Slab Length Monitoring in Rolling Mills
    Positioned above production lines, the sensor measures hot steel slabs without contact. Its tolerance to extreme heat and stable accuracy make it ideal for sizing and tracking metal parts during rolling.

  • Molten Metal Level Monitoring in Foundries
    The sensor is installed above ladles to detect molten metal levels from a safe distance. Its infrared measurement and resistance to high ambient light ensure precise readings without risking equipment or personnel.

  • Crane Tracking in Galvanizing Facilities
    By continuously monitoring crane movement and tank levels, the sensor ensures accurate positioning in environments filled with steam and chemicals. Its rugged housing and filtering capabilities maintain reliable operation.

  • Obstacle Detection for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
    Integrated into AGVs, the sensor detects objects in path with high speed and precision. Its fast cycle time and ambient light immunity help avoid collisions in dynamic warehouse environments.

  • Navigation for Mobile Industrial Robots
    Robots use the sensor for distance mapping and object detection while navigating factory floors. The sensor’s precision and multi-echo filtering help it distinguish between real obstacles and environmental noise.
