Product Description

The SICK 1040405 (DT20-P224B) is a high-performance displacement measurement sensor from the DT20 Hi product family, engineered for demanding industrial environments that require precise and reliable distance detection. Utilizing advanced CMOS laser triangulation technology, this sensor delivers highly accurate measurements across a broad range from 100 mm to 1,000 mm. A key advantage of this model is its ability to maintain consistent measurement performance regardless of the target object’s color, gloss, or surface texture, making it an exceptional choice for diverse quality control and material handling tasks.

The DT20-P224B is housed in a rugged zinc die-cast enclosure with an IP65 rating, ensuring durability against dust and water in harsh manufacturing settings. It features an integrated LC display and status LEDs that provide intuitive feedback and simplify the commissioning process. The sensor is equipped with a versatile interface, offering a scalable 4 mA to 20 mA analog output alongside a PNP switching output. With advanced software functions such as adjustable moving averages and multifunctional inputs, the SICK 1040405 offers the flexibility needed to solve complex automation challenges while reducing downtime and improving end-product quality.

 

Key Performance Features

  • CMOS Detection: Reliable measurement independent of object color or shininess (remission 6%–90%).
  • Intuitive Setup: Integrated LC display with a user-friendly menu for fast commissioning and numerical teach-in.
  • Scalable Outputs: Freely adjustable analog (4–20 mA) and digital (PNP) outputs for tailored application control.
  • Advanced Diagnostics: Features internal averaging settings (fast/medium/slow) to filter noise and enhance stability.
  • Rugged Design: Compact zinc die-cast housing with a 5-pin M12 swivel connector for easy installation in tight spaces.

 

Ideal Applications

  • Quality Control: Precise dimensional checking, height measurement, and thickness control in production lines.
  • Positioning Tasks: Accurate positioning of robot arms, grippers, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
  • Level Monitoring: Non-contact level measurement of solids and liquids in small containers or hoppers.
  • Shape Verification: Sorting and inspection of components based on profile or geometry in the packaging industry.
  • Material Handling: Detection and positioning of pallets or large components in logistics and warehouse automation.
