The Leuze MLC300T20-300 is a high-resolution safety light curtain with a 20 mm detection resolution and a 300 mm protective field height, offering reliable hand protection in industrial settings where space and accuracy are critical. It uses a pulsed infrared LED light source operating at a 940 nm wavelength to ensure precise object detection across its effective 0 to 15-meter operating range. Optical synchronization between the transmitter and receiver eliminates the need for cross-wiring, simplifying installation in busy control panels. Built with a durable aluminum housing and diecast zinc end caps, the MLC300T20-300 is protected against harsh industrial conditions. It offers IP65-rated ingress protection and includes overvoltage and short-circuit protection circuits, enhancing long-term system reliability. The unit connects via a standard M12 5-pin male connector, operates on a 24 V DC supply (ยฑ20%), and consumes just 50 mA, making it efficient and easy to integrate with modern PLC systems. With compact dimensions of 29 mm x 366 mm x 35.4 mm and a manageable 450 g weight, the MLC300T20-300 is ideal for groove mounting or use with brackets, swivel mounts, or device columns. The integrated LED indicators provide real-time status visibility, aiding quick diagnostics and maintenance. These features make the Leuze MLC300T20-300 Safety Light Curtain a dependable choice for OEMs, machine builders, and maintenance engineers prioritizing operator safety and system uptime.
The Leuze MLC300T20-300 Safety Light Curtain is perfectly suited for hand protection in semi-automatic assembly stations, compact pick-and-place machines, robotic load zones, and inspection platforms where precise operator safety is essential. Its 300 mm protective height makes it ideal for workspaces with medium vertical reach, without compromising on detection accuracy. In many Indian factories, especially those handling electronic components, packaging, or injection molding, engineers prefer this model for its reliable detection and seamless PLC connectivity. The M12 connector and narrow housing profile allow fast, no-hassle installation even in tight panels. This model is also favored in applications where machine cycle time is fast, but human access during downtime or changeovers must be safely controlled. Whether youโre an OEM in Pune, a maintenance engineer in Coimbatore, or an automation expert in Ahmedabad, the Leuze MLC300T20-300 offers the right balance of compact design, precision protection, and rugged durability.
