DME3000-111
Sick Non contact distance sensor

 In handling systems, DME distance measuring devices are the perfect alternative to control components that are subject to wear, such as rotary transducers. They allow high-bay stackers, cranes, lift cabins or automated guided vehicle systems to be positioned with precision. The visible red light of the Class 2 laser sender facilitates alignment and handling. Adjustment and adaptation to individual automation tasks can be carried out quickly and easily by means of programming buttons on the device, an eight-digit display and the user-friendly menu-driven dialogue. Two versions are available. The DME 2000 measures distances of up to 130 metres and, in proximity mode (i.e. without reflector), up to 2 metres. The DME 3000 has a scanning range of 500 metres – distances of up to ten metres can be measured in the proximity version. Serial interfaces permit external further processing of the measured values. Interfacing to Profibus is also possible and the DME can be connected to warehouse control circuits via the SSI interface.
