Precise Optical Distance Measurement from Any Range

Whether you need precise measurement to minimize machine interruptions or if you need a sensor to help position machinery, SICK distance sensors use time-of-flight measurement technology and provide the reliability and accuracy needed to reduce downtime in your facility.


Laser triangulation sensors send a pulse of light to the target, usually an object, and then measures the time it takes for its reflection to return back to the sensor to provide precise optical distance measurement. With SICK’s portfolio of  laser distance sensors and laser displacement sensors, you can precisely measure distances of objects from any range – from 0 meters to 10,000 meters. And all this measurement data can be processes in a matter of milliseconds.
