Product Description

The SICK DT20-N214B (1040140) is a high-performance laser displacement sensor from the DT20 Hi product family, engineered for precise, non-contact distance measurement. This sensor utilizes advanced CMOS triangulation technology, allowing it to provide reliable measurement results regardless of the target object’s color or glossiness. With a versatile measuring range of 100 mm to 300 mm and a high resolution of 12-bit for its analog output, it excels in tasks requiring extreme accuracy.

The device is housed in a robust metal casing, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. It features an intuitive LC display with a simple menu structure, enabling fast commissioning and real-time monitoring of measurement values. The DT20-N214B offers both a digital NPN switching output and a scalable 4-20 mA analog output, providing flexibility for integration into various control systems. Its red light laser ensures easy alignment even on small targets, while advanced settings like averaging and sensitivity adjustment allow the sensor to be fine-tuned for specific application needs.

 

Key Performance Features

  • High Linearity: Achieves a linearity of ± 1 mm, ensuring consistent accuracy throughout the 300mm range.
  • Rapid Response: Features a fast response time of ≥ 2.5 ms, ideal for high-speed production lines.
  • Color-Independent Detection: CMOS receiver technology ensures stable measurement on varied surfaces (dark, shiny, or colorful).
  • Scalable Outputs: The analog output (4–20 mA) is freely scalable, allowing users to define specific measurement windows.
  • Intuitive Setup: Integrated display and control buttons allow for easy “Teach-in” and configuration without external software.
  • High Repeatability: Delivers a repeatability of ≥ 0.25 mm for precise process consistency.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Electronics Industry: Precise positioning of PCBs and detection of small components during assembly.
  • Packaging and Bottling: Accurate level monitoring of foil rolls or label rolls to manage flying roll changes.
  • Quality Control: Non-contact height and thickness measurement for dimensional verification of manufactured parts.
  • Robotics: Distance monitoring for robotic grippers to prevent collisions and ensure correct object pickup.
  • Automotive: Checking the correct installation or alignment of components on automated assembly lines.
