Leuze ELC100T17-1500 Safety Light Curtain

The Leuze ELC100T17-1500 transmitter is part of the ELC100 series, purpose-built for finger protection in automation systems requiring wide-area coverage. It provides a protective field height of 1,500 mm with a high-resolution of 17 mm, capable of detecting even the smallest objects like fingers or thin tools. Operating across a range of 0.5 to 3 meters, it ensures safety without interfering with workflow efficiency. The device uses a pulsed infrared LED at 940 nm wavelength to deliver consistent performance with optical synchronization, reducing wiring complexity during installation. Powered by a stable 24 V DC input with tolerance from -20% to +20%, the light curtain consumes a maximum of 50 mA, making it energy efficient and ideal for round-the-clock usage. It connects through a 300 mm PUR cable with a 4-pin M12 male connector, ensuring reliable connectivity in rugged industrial environments. Its housing is built from aluminum with die-cast zinc end caps and a PMMA lens cover, offering durability, impact resistance, and long operational life. With overall dimensions of 34.7 mm x 1,515 mm x 39.3 mm and a weight of 2,110 g, this transmitter is easy to integrate with most industrial machines. It features an LED display with two indicators for real-time status visibility. Designed with IP65 protection and compliant with Protection Class III, the ELC100T17-1500 operates efficiently within temperatures from 0°C to 50°C, making it a trusted solution for safety-critical automation environments.

The Leuze ELC100T17-1500 Safety Light Curtain is designed for advanced finger protection in high-risk industrial environments like CNC machines, robotic assembly stations, hydraulic presses, and palletizing zones. With its extended 1,500 mm sensing height, it’s especially suitable for machines with tall or open working areas where full-length protection is essential. In Indian factories where operators often load and unload parts manually, or work in close proximity to automated moving elements, this model plays a critical role in minimizing accidental access and ensuring safe operational workflows. It can be installed using groove mounts or standard brackets, saving time during machine retrofits or OEM integration. The IP65 rating further ensures that dust, oils, and high humidity levels common in packaging, metal cutting, or pharmaceutical plants won’t compromise the unit’s reliability. The ELC100T17-1500 is trusted by maintenance engineers, safety officers, and system integrators for its simple connectivity, clear diagnostics, and superior sensing precision. When selecting a safety light curtain that combines safety, durability, and integration ease, this model from Leuze stands out as a performance-driven and value-focused choice.
