The ELC 100 safety light curtains from Leuze focus on the essentials of what matters when safeguarding points of operation. For applications with an operating range of up to six meters, the robust devices are perfect for cost-effective machine designs. And they are very easy to integrate and install.
Requirement:
The point of operation at a machine or system is to be guarded by an electro-sensitive protective device. The necessary distance between the protective device and point of operation is to be as small as possible.
Solution:
The ELC 100 safety light curtains with resolutions of 17 and 30 mm offer reliable finger and hand detection. This allows small safety distances between the safety sensor and the point of operation to be realized
Requirement:
Access to dangerous areas on machines and systems is to be secured with optoelectronic safety sensors. For a compact system design, the safety sensors are to be installed as close to the dangerous area as possible.
Solution:
With protective field lengths of up to 1,500 mm, the ELC 100 safety light curtains safeguard access points to machines and systems. The resolutions of 17 and 30 mm for finger and hand detection ensure short safety distances and thereby enable a compact system design.
Requirement:
The points of operation on presses are to be safeguarded by safety light curtains. These must withstand the impacts and continuous vibrations that occur.
Solution:
The ELC 100 safety light curtains with resolutions of 17 and 30 mm offer reliable finger and hand detection. This allows small safety distances between the safety sensor and the point of operation to be realized. With a shock resistance of 400 m/s2, devices are also designed for operation with constant and intense physical shocks.
The multi-level alignment display makes commissioning the devices especially easy. Even rough alignments are reliably displayed. Thanks to the well-visible, bright LEDs, the alignment result can be monitored right from the transmitter.
The ELC100s are easily and flexibly integrated into the machine design. The specially designed housing enables flexible cable routing in all directions. The cable is always optimally routed into the interior of the machine and protected at the same time.
The swivel function of the robust supports facilitate the quick alignment of the devices. These are mounted right in the grooves provided on both sides of the ELC 100. If no alignment is necessary, the sliding blocks included in the scope of delivery are used, which reduces costs even further.
The M12 connector is easily accessible via the cable. The 4-pin version for voltage and OSSDs makes the connection of the devices especially simple. No configuration required, and the connection cables need no shielding. This makes installation simple, fast, and economical.
The robust housings are made of metal throughout and protect the front screen with their tall side walls. The intelligent beam evaluation with object tracking allows the devices to operate reliably and avoid unnecessary shutdowns, even in demanding environments with chips or sparks.
