The Leuze MLC300T30-225 belongs to the MLC 300 series, a proven lineup of safety light curtains built for industrial-grade protection. With a tight 30 mm resolution and a defined protective field height of 225 mm, this transmitter unit is optimized for detecting human hands or small objects that breach the sensing zone. It uses a pulsed infrared LED light source at 940 nm, delivering stable signal performance across an operating range of up to 10 meters, even in environments with changing light conditions. Synchronization between transmitter and receiver is handled optically, eliminating unnecessary wiring and simplifying the system layout.
This safety light curtain operates on a standard 24 V DC supply with a Β±20% voltage tolerance and consumes only 50 mA, ensuring low power usage with consistent performance. The robust electrical design includes both overvoltage protection and short-circuit resistance to maintain safety under fluctuating loads. A single M12 5-pin male connector streamlines installation and integration with industrial control systems. Physically, the MLC300T30-225 features a slim profile of 29 mm x 291 mm x 35.4 mm and a light net weight of just 370 grams, making it ideal for applications with space constraints. Its rugged construction includes an aluminum housing, diecast zinc end caps, and a PMMA lens cover, all in a durable RAL 1021 yellow finish.
Engineered to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the device is rated IP65 and performs reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from 0Β°C to 55Β°C with up to 95% humidity (non-condensing). The dual LED display indicators on the transmitter support clear visual diagnostics, helping engineers with alignment, monitoring, and operational status in real-time. Combined with flexible mounting options like groove, bracket, swivel, or column mounts, the Leuze MLC300T30-225 stands out as a versatile and dependable light curtain transmitter for modern safety setups.
The Leuze MLC300T30-225 Safety Light Curtain is well-suited for compact industrial applications that demand precise hand-level protection. It is commonly installed in machinery such as packaging lines, assembly stations, and robotic enclosures where the access area is narrow but must remain safe for operators.
In Indian factories and automation plants, this model is appreciated by both junior and senior maintenance engineers for its easy installation, reliable performance, and minimal maintenance. Thanks to the optical synchronization and standard M12 connector, setup is plug-and-play, and real-time status monitoring through bright LED indicators makes troubleshooting fast and efficient. It is especially useful in production cells where human-machine interaction is frequent and downtime must be avoided.
If your application requires a 10-meter range and a 225 mm protective height for hand detection, the Leuze MLC300T30-225 offers an optimal blend of safety, form factor, and cost-efficiency. Its rugged design, smart diagnostics, and industry-standard compliance make it a reliable choice for modern automation safety requirements.
