A new development extending the application of Leuze Electronic's safety light
curtains and grids is that virtually the entire range can be supplied conforming
to IP68, a classification confirming eligibility for water jet washing. It
opens up a whole new range of applications, particularly in the food and other
related industrial sectors where wash-down procedures are the norm.
The new development enables Leuze Electronic to support many varied and diverse
safety requirements - where the light curtain becomes an integral part of the
machine offering close-up protection through to safety barriers operating across
large access points over 60m. Also appealing to many customers will be the fact
that the IP68 rating even extends to Leuze Electronic safety light barriers with
muting, a very much sought after configuration for protecting staff working
within the confines of high-speed processing lines.
Leuze Electronic product ranges such as Compact, CompactPlus with its ProfiSafe
capability for easy networking, Robust and ECO, the baby of all light curtains,
offer an IP68 classification. This creates a very broad range of safety options
from finger protection, to hand and whole body as well as controlling large
access points.
