ESPE – ELG Series

Automation Safety Light Curtain

Brand : ESPE

The ESPE ELG Series is a compact Type 2 safety light curtain designed for machine safeguarding in installations where space is constrained or where standard light curtain sizes are impractical. It conforms to IEC 61496‑1/‑2 Type 2 safety standards with Category 2/PL c performance under ISO 13849‑1 and SIL 1 according to IEC 62061/IEC 61508, providing reliable presence detection for personnel protection in lower‑risk automation environments. The ELG Series features a dual‑circuit self‑inspection design to improve safety integrity and quick response time, along with strong resistance to optical and electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for guarding conveyors, packaging machines, robotic transfer zones, and other compact equipment.

With a range of beam spacings (10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm), multiple beam counts, and protective heights, the ELG Series can be customized to match specific guarding requirements. Its through‑beam sensing method, wire synchronization, and robust IP65 aluminum housing ensure stable performance in industrial environments. The smaller cross‑section profile and flexible bracket options make it easy to install in tight spaces without compromising safety performance.
