Leuze ELC100T17-900 Safety Light Curtain

The Leuze ELC100T17-900 transmitter features a protective field height of 900 mm and a fine resolution of 17 mm, making it suitable for detecting even small intrusions such as fingers near dangerous machine parts. It operates over a reliable 0.5 to 3-meter range using infrared LED light at a wavelength of 940 nm. The unit is engineered with a pulsed signal transmission and offers optical synchronization with the receiver, eliminating the need for additional wiring between units. Designed for industrial environments, the transmitter operates on 24 V DC ±20% and consumes a maximum of 50 mA, ensuring energy-efficient performance. The rugged housing is made from aluminum with die-cast zinc end caps and a PMMA plastic lens cover, providing durability while maintaining high transparency. It connects via a 300 mm PUR cable with a 4-pin M12 male connector for quick installation and secure communication. The product also includes overvoltage and short circuit protection for safe, long-term use. Measuring 34.7 mm x 915 mm x 39.3 mm and weighing around 1.31 kg, the unit is compact and built for seamless integration in machine enclosures. Rated with IP65 ingress protection and compliant with Protection Class III, this safety light curtain transmitter delivers stable performance in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 50°C with humidity tolerance up to 95% non-condensing. These technical features make the Leuze ELC100T17-900 one of the most trusted safety components for industrial machinery compliance.

The Leuze ELC100T17-900 Safety Light Curtain is specifically designed for finger protection in compact work zones such as small presses, robotic stations, pick-and-place operations, and semi-automated assembly units. Its 17 mm resolution ensures precise detection of fingers or small tools, preventing accidental access to dangerous machine areas. Because of its narrow sensing beams and high-speed response time of 1 ms, it is highly effective in applications where fast movement and human-machine interaction are frequent. In many Indian manufacturing setups, operators often work close to punch presses or part insertion points. Installing the ELC100T17-900 significantly reduces the risk of injury without compromising cycle time or machine speed. Its sturdy IP65-rated body resists dust and moisture, which is essential in industries such as metal fabrication, packaging, and electronics assembly where environmental conditions vary. By integrating this Leuze safety light curtain, plant managers not only improve worker safety but also stay compliant with global safety standards. For OEMs and system integrators seeking a compact and maintenance-free safety solution, the ELC100T17-900 offers seamless mounting with groove slots and bracket options. From automation labs to factory floors, this model is a practical and intelligent choice for achieving safety without sacrificing space or reliability.
