The SICK DME4000-117 is a high-precision Class 2 laser distance sensor designed for reliable non-contact distance measurement using the time-of-flight (ToF) principle. It is engineered for robust performance in demanding industrial applications, particularly where long-range analog signal transmission is required.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
Measurement Principle: Time-of-Flight (ToF)
Measuring Range: 0.1 m to 200 m
Accuracy: Typically ±3 mm
Laser Source: Visible red laser, Class 2 (IEC 60825-1). Facilitates easy alignment and targeting.
Outputs & Interfaces:
Analog Output: 0 - 10 V or 4 - 20 mA (configurable). This is the primary output.
Digital I/Os: Two programmable switching inputs and two switching outputs (e.g., for teach-in, limit values, or error messaging).
No Serial/IO-Link/SSI: This model lacks the advanced digital interfaces (RS-422, IO-Link, SSI) found on other variants, focusing instead on robust analog and discrete I/O.
Response Time: As fast as 5 ms
Housing: Robust metal housing (M30 x 1.5), IP67 rated for protection against dust and water immersion.
