Distance and Measurement Sensors
SICK DT35-B15551 Sensor
SICK DT35-B15551 laser distance sensor, part 1057651. Mid-range precision distance measurement with visible laser for converting and logistics.
Overview
The SICK DT35-B15551 (part number 1057651) belongs to the DT35 family of photoelectric distance sensors. It provides precise laser distance measurement for mid-range applications such as diameter monitoring on winders, positioning on conveyors and level detection in process equipment.
How It Works
Modulated laser light travels to the target and back, and the sensor derives the distance from the returned signal. The visible spot marks the measurement point. Since the result is based on distance evaluation, it stays stable whether the target is dark, bright or glossy.

Installation and Setup Notes
Align the beam so it strikes the target at a clean angle and lock the mounting firmly. Verify the switching points with the production target and record the reference distances. In dusty halls, include the optical window in the periodic cleaning schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from the B15251 variant?
Both belong to the DT35 family; the order codes distinguish range and output configuration for different machine requirements.
Can it detect dark rubber rolls?
Yes, distance-based evaluation is largely independent of the reflectivity of the target.
Is analog distance output available?
The DT35 family includes variants with proportional distance output; select the variant matching your control input.
