Built for precision and rugged use, the Leuze MLC310R20-1950 receiver delivers a resolution of 20 mm and a broad protective field height of 1,950 mm, making it a go-to solution for hand protection in large machine openings. It operates efficiently on a 24 V DC supply with tolerance ranging from -20% to +20%, while maintaining a low maximum current consumption of 150 mA. The unit offers 2 safety-related switching outputs (OSSDs) via PNP transistors and ensures stable signal switching at a typical voltage of 22.5 V.
Synchronization between transmitter and receiver is handled optically, reducing wiring complexity and improving signal integrity. With a response time of 34 ms and restart delay of 100 ms, this curtain supports rapid detection without compromising on safety. The housing is crafted from robust aluminum with die-cast zinc end caps and features a plastic PMMA lens cover, all enclosed in an IP65-rated yellow body (RAL 1021) that withstands industrial wear and exposure.
The device connects via a standard M12 5-pin male connector and features dual LED indicators for quick diagnostics. Its compact dimensions of 29 mm x 2,016 mm x 35.4 mm allow for smooth integration into modern control panels. Trusted across automotive, FMCG, textile, and machine-building industries, the Leuze MLC310R20-1950 Safety Light Curtain helps engineers meet strict safety standards while ensuring long-term reliability.
