Overview

The MLC 500 is Leuze's Type 4 safety light curtain platform, sold across 14/20/30/40/90 mm resolutions and a 150-3000 mm height range in the same 29 x 35.4 mm aluminum profile. This artifact represents the 'extended' function class (MLC530, part-number function code 30) which adds fixed/floating blanking and muting to the base transmission-channel-changeover functions of the base/standard tiers. At 14 mm resolution the curtain is finger-detection grade with the shortest 0-6 m operating range in the family (the coarser 20-90 mm tiers reach further). Rated Type 4 / Category 4 / PLe / SIL3 / SILCL3, IP65, M12 connectors (5-pin transmitter, 8-pin receiver).
