SICK DME5000-322 Distance Measuring Sensor Laser

The SICK DME5000-322 Distance Measuring Sensor Laser is a compact reflector-based laser distance sensor that uses time-of-flight to determine the distance to a fixed reflector. Built for demanding industrial environments, it delivers fast, repeatable distance data for positioning, alignment, and process control in automation applications. The sensor covers a measurement range from 0.15 m up to 300 m, with maximum ranges demonstrated on diamond-grade reflectors, and it uses a red laser light source (laser class 2) for visibility and safety. Its IP65-rated enclosure guards against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for factory floors, conveyors, and outdoor-adjacent installations. For integration, the DME5000-322 family supports industrial interfaces such as PROFIBUS, enabling straightforward connection to PLCs and automation networks. In operation, the sensor emits a laser beam toward a reflector and computes distance from the return signal, providing a straightforward reflector-based distance measurement that remains reliable across long distances when proper reflectors are used.
