Safety light curtains for a cost-efficient machine design

The ELC 100 safety light curtains from Leuze provide efficient protection of dangerous points of operation and offer a reliable safety solution at an attractive price. These robust devices can be flexibly integrated into the machines and easily installed. The protective field lengths of up to 1.5 m and the resolutions of 17 mm (operating range 3 m) and 30 mm (operating range 6 m) for finger and hand detection, ensure short safety distances and thereby enable a compact system design.

The optimized design makes the ELC 100 series especially resistant to physical shock and vibration. Thus, you can use it on machines that are subject to strong accelerations or vibrations, e.g., presses.

Highlights of the ELC safety light curtains

Provide effective safeguarding in different applications

Point of operation guarding

Requirement:

The point of operation at your machine or system needs to be guarded by an electro-sensitive protective device. The distance between the protective device and point of operation should be as small as possible.

Solution:

The ELC 100 safety light curtains with resolutions of 17 mm and 30 mm provides you reliable finger and hand detection. This allows small safety distances between the safety sensor and the point of operation.

Access guarding with short safety distances

Requirement:

Access to dangerous areas on your machines and systems needs to be secured with optoelectronic safety sensors. For a compact system design, the safety sensors should be installed as close to the dangerous area as possible.

Solution:

The ELC 100 safety light curtains, with protective field lengths of up to 1.5 m, safeguard access points to machines and systems. The resolutions of 17 mm and 30 mm for finger and hand detection, ensure short safety distances and thereby enable a compact system design.

Point of operation guarding on presses

Requirement:

The points of operation on presses need to be safeguarded by safety light curtains. These must withstand physical impacts and continuous vibrations.

Solution:

The ELC 100s with resolutions of 17 mm and 30 mm provide reliable finger and hand detection. This allows small safety distances between the safety sensor and the point of operation. With a shock resistance of 400 m/s², these safety light curtains are designed for reliable operation even in the presence of constant and intense mechanical shocks.
