Distance and Measurement Sensors
SICK DL50-P1123 Sensor
SICK DL50-P1123 compact laser distance sensor, part 1047361. Precise contactless distance measurement for slides, loops and packaging equipment.
Overview
The SICK DL50-P1123 (part number 1047361) is a compact laser distance sensor from the DL50 family. It measures distance without contact using optical time-of-flight technology and suits machine-level positioning tasks where a full-size long-range sensor is not required.
How It Works
The sensor emits modulated laser light and evaluates the runtime of the reflected signal. The distance value is converted into switching and measurement outputs, so the machine control can react to positions directly. The measurement is largely unaffected by the color and brightness of the target.
Key Features
- Compact housing for machine-integrated distance measurement
- Time-of-flight laser technology with visible light spot
- Distance readings independent of target color
- PNP output configuration (P order code)
- Part number 1047361
- Suitable for precise positioning on medium distances
Typical Applications
- Positioning of machine slides and carriages
- Monitoring of material sag and web loops
- Distance checks on palletizing and packaging equipment
- Level detection in containers with reflective contents
- Verification of end positions on handling axes

Installation and Setup Notes
Install the sensor so the laser spot strikes the target cleanly and perpendicular. Keep the front window free of dust and condensation, and verify the measured distance against a tape measure reference after mounting. For moving targets, confirm the response behavior across the full speed range of the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DL50 work on shiny metal?
Polished surfaces can deflect the beam; slight angular alignment of the sensor usually restores a stable reading.
Can it be used for loop control on webs?
Yes, distance-based loop and sag monitoring is a typical use for this family.
Which output does the P1123 variant provide?
The P order code identifies a PNP output configuration.
