Leuze ELC100T17-1200 Safety Light Curtain

The Leuze ELC100T17-1200 transmitter features a protective field height of 1,200 mm with a fine 17 mm resolution, making it ideal for finger protection in vertical machine openings. Its infrared LED light source emits at 940 nm and works on a pulsed signal pattern, ensuring accurate object detection across an operating range of 0.5 to 3 meters. The transmitter and receiver pair communicate through optical synchronization, eliminating wiring complexity and minimizing installation effort. With a robust supply voltage input of 24 V DC ±20% and maximum current consumption of 50 mA, this safety light curtain supports energy-efficient operation. The unit comes with a 300 mm PUR cable terminated with a 4-pin M12 male connector for fast, standardized connectivity. Built for harsh industrial use, it features an aluminum housing, diecast zinc end caps, and a PMMA lens cover. The structure resists vibration, impact, and environmental contaminants, backed by an ingress rating of IP65. Measuring 34.7 mm x 1,215 mm x 39.3 mm and weighing approximately 1.71 kg, this compact light curtain transmitter is easy to mount using standard groove or bracket systems. With LED indicators for operational status, short-circuit protection, and a wide temperature range of 0 to 50°C, the Leuze ELC100T17-1200 is a trusted choice for safety compliance and machine-level reliability in industrial environments.

The Leuze ELC100T17-1200 Safety Light Curtain is widely used in industries where finger protection is critical — such as assembly lines, punch presses, robotic cells, and machine tools. Its narrow 17 mm resolution allows it to detect even small body parts like fingers, preventing operator injury and ensuring machine shutdown before contact occurs. In Indian manufacturing setups where workers frequently handle close-up tasks around moving equipment, this model enhances both safety and productivity. Its 1,200 mm sensing height makes it suitable for applications involving tall workpiece access points or large protective openings, such as material loading zones and automation stations. The unit’s durable IP65-rated body ensures continuous function even in environments with high humidity, oil mist, or dust — common in sectors like packaging, automotive, and metal processing. With optical synchronization and maintenance-free operation, the ELC100T17-1200 provides a long-lasting solution for safety compliance under ISO 13849 and IEC 61496 standards. Choosing this safety light curtain means investing in a dependable safety system trusted by engineers worldwide, backed by Leuze’s commitment to precision, reliability, and ease of integration.
