Distance and Measurement Sensors
SICK DT50-P2123 Sensor
SICK DT50-P2123 laser distance sensor, part 1047399. Stable distance-based measurement with PNP output for packaging and logistics machinery.
Overview
The SICK DT50-P2123 (part number 1047399) is a member of the DT50 laser distance sensor family. With visible red laser light and a distance-based evaluation, it handles precise positioning, level and diameter tasks where stable readings matter more than target appearance.
How It Works
Laser pulses reflect from the target and the sensor evaluates the returned signal to derive distance. Switching outputs react to configured distance windows, and the visible spot confirms the measurement location. Because the measurement is distance-based, surface color has little effect.

Installation and Setup Notes
Set the distance windows with the production target in place and confirm both edges of the window by moving the target. Keep the optical interface clean and check the mounting torque after maintenance. For fast-moving targets, verify the response behavior at production speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can one sensor monitor two distance windows?
The family provides multiple switching outputs that can be assigned to different distance windows depending on the variant.
Does vibration affect the reading?
Rigid mounting keeps scatter low; loose brackets show up immediately as unstable readings.
How do I verify accuracy on site?
Compare readings at two known distances with a tape measure or gauge block.
