LEUZE PRK96M/A-3410-44 Safety Light Curtain | Industrial Machine Guarding | CE Certified | High-Precision Sensor

1. Advanced Safety Performance & Technical Specifications

The LEUZE PRK96M/A-3410-44 safety light curtain is a high-precision optoelectronic device designed for industrial machine guarding applications. Featuring a resolution of 14mm beam spacing and a detection range of up to 3.5 meters, this Type 4 (IEC 61496) certified system ensures reliable object/personnel detection in harsh environments. With a response time of ≤15ms and 44 vertically aligned infrared beams, it enables rapid shutdown of hazardous machinery while minimizing false triggers. The rugged aluminum housing (IP67-rated) withstands dust, moisture, and mechanical stress, making it ideal for automotive, packaging, and metalworking industries. Integrated status LEDs and M12 connectors simplify installation and diagnostics.

2. Compliance & Integration Capabilities

Certified to EN ISO 13849-1 (PL e, Cat. 4) and CE Marked per EU Machinery Directive, the PRK96M/A-3410-44 meets global safety standards for industrial automation. Its flexible configuration supports cascading up to 4 units for extended protection zones, while programmable muting functions allow safe material passage during production cycles. Compatible with LEUZE’s AS-Interface and PROFINET protocols, this safety curtain seamlessly integrates with PLC systems from Siemens, Rockwell, and Mitsubishi. The built-in OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) outputs dual-channel safety signals (30V DC, 500mA) for fail-safe control circuit integration. Optional mounting brackets enable horizontal/vertical orientation adaptability.

3. Operational Efficiency & Maintenance Features

Engineered for minimal downtime, the PRK96M/A-3410-44 incorporates automatic contamination compensation and a teach-in function for beam alignment verification. Its energy-efficient design operates at 24V DC (±15%) with ≤5W power consumption, reducing operational costs. The diagnostic port supports LEUZE’s Configurator software for real-time performance monitoring and parameter adjustments via USB. Maintenance teams benefit from tool-free lens cleaning access and a 100,000-hour MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) rating. Includes a 3-year warranty with optional SIL3-certified redundancy kits for mission-critical applications in pharmaceutical and robotics sectors.
