More safety light curtains from Leuze: hands off!
ELC safety light curtains from Leuze: an economical, modern solution and, not unimportant in these times, fast delivery.
Past results are no guarantee for the future! We all know it: the prevention of injury to people working on a machine (or several machines linked together) must be ensured. Fake safety can be deadly – Just because it looks safe it does not mean it is!
When designing a machine, safety is a necessary part and a machine builder will realize this. Once in use "in the field," it must of course be ensured. It happens, that after years of use, changes have occurred or it is planned to implement them. If safety is an issue, Leuze can help with its many safety options (from individual products to complete safety solutions) in order to achieve a safe situation.
A good example is the new ELC light screen, which can be used for many applications when it comes to preventing access to a dangerous machine: the screen detects fingers and hands and is therefore available in various resolutions and lengths, with ranges of up to 6 meters between transmitter and receiver.
Not too many bells and whistles, but doing what it is supposed to do: protect! With a comfortable (M12) connection technique, flat mounting at (so safe up to) profile ends(!), quick mounting by multiple mounting techniques and a very simple alignment aid on the front by means of a LED bargraph. As a result, a screen is quickly mounted and optimally aligned: separate alignment aids are therefore not necessary (convenient, just like our integrated laser alignment in the MLD Series exit/entry guards).
