Overview
The Dx35 family of distance sensors, based on HDDM™ technology, combine maximum reliability, measuring capabilities, flexibility and the perfect price-performance ratio in a very compact housing.
Depending on the application, sub-product families are available for distance measurement on natural objects (DT35 and DS35) or on reflective tape (DL35 and DR35).
The sub-product families also come with different interfaces. In addition to the IO-Link function, which all the devices have, the product family also offers sensors with analog and switching output (DT and DL) or the option of two switching outputs (DS and DR).
Its final distinguishing feature when selecting the right sensor for the application is the light sender: infrared or red light in laser class 1 or 2.
- Highest reliability, ambient light immunity and best price/performance ratio thanks to HDDM technology
- Measuring range of 0.05 m to 12 m for natural objects or 0.2 m to 35 m for reflective tape
- Devices with analog and digital output, or just switching
- Infrared or red emitted light in laser class 1 or 2
- Repeatability: 0.5 mm to 5 mm
- Compact housing size
- IO-Link
- DT35-S - Certified to ISO 13849 (PL b) and IEC 62998 (PC B)
Advantages
Dx35 – Larger-than-life performance
Reliable measurement results even for difficult tasks and ambient conditions
IO-Link
As co-founder of IO-Link, SICK offers one of the broadest IO-Link portfolios on the market. Smart Sensors with IO-Link generate and receive data and information which goes beyond conventional switching signals or measured process parameters. This allows them to create substantial increases in efficiency, more flexibility, and better planning security for predictive maintenance of machines and systems. Benefit from SICK’s extensive experience with a wide range of sensing technologies, and now also in combination with the SIG100 and SIG200 Sensor Integration Gateways.

The IO link allows you to use a simple output signal switching device as a communication interface. This enables quick batch changes and simple commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics.
Variable distance measurement in storage and conveyor systems
Reliable results throughout the entire production process – even under harsh ambient conditions thanks to the rugged housing
SICK LifeTime Services
SICK’s services increase machine and plant productivity, enhance the safety of people all over the world, provide a solid foundation for a sustainable business operation, and protect investment goods. In addition to its usual consulting services, SICK provides direct on-site support during the conceptual design and commissioning phases as well as during operation.
The range of services not only covers aspects like maintenance and inspection, but also includes performance checks as well as upgrades and retrofits. Modular or customized service contracts extend the service life of plants and therefore increase their availability. If faults occur or limit values are exceeded, these are detected at all times by the corresponding sensors and systems.
