SICK DL100 Laser Distance Sensor: High-Precision Long-Range Measurement for Industrial Automation | Technical Specifications​

​Product Overview​

The SICK DL100 is a high-performance ​laser distance sensor​ designed for long-range, non-contact measurement in demanding industrial environments. Utilizing visible red laser technology, it achieves measurement ranges up to 300 meters (with "Diamond Grade" reflective film) and offers high repeatability up to 0.5 mm. Its robust metal housing, IP65 protection rating, and wide operating temperature range (–40°C to +75°C) make it ideal for applications like automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), crane positioning, and automated guided vehicle (AGV) navigation.
