Leuze supplier in Romania
For Leuze we quote MLC and ELC 100 safety light curtains, RSL 200 and RSL 400 laser scanners, MSI relays and controllers, and code readers; from you we need the full code from the housing, the working distance and the length of the protected field.
Headquarters: Owen, Germany
Who is Leuze and what does it make?
Leuze is a German manufacturer of sensors and safety equipment for industrial automation, headquartered in Owen, in Baden-Württemberg. The company has worked in sensors for over six decades. For machine safety, the range includes ELC 100 and MLC photoelectric light curtains, RSL 200 and RSL 400 safety laser scanners, MSI relays, MSI 400 controllers and the MSI-MD-FB muting interface. Beyond safety, there are optical sensors, optical distance sensors, laser and camera-based code readers, and optical data transmission systems from the DDLS 200 and DDLS 500 families.
The practical point for a designer is how the range is divided into classes. ELC 100 curtains cover point-of-operation protection at working distances of up to 6 m, with no configuration. The MLC series comes in type 4 and type 2 variants, with four functional classes, a working distance of up to 20 m and a protected field height of up to 3000 mm, plus slim versions, versions with Ex marking or with IP 69K protection. The RSL 200 scanner measures only 80 × 80 × 86 mm, while RSL 400 reaches 8.25 m and 270° and outputs measurement values useful for navigating guided vehicles.
On lines in Romania, such devices protect presses, palletising stations, robotic cells and transfer points of automated guided vehicles (AGVs). When imported machinery has a faulty curtain or scanner, the item is identified from the full code on the housing, for example MLC510R14-300 or RSL410-S/CU408-M12.
What do we supply from the Leuze range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| MLC safety light curtains | Type 4 and type 2 photoelectric curtains, with four functional classes, a working distance of up to 20 m and a protected field of up to 3000 mm. The variants include MLC 300, 500, 510, 520, 520-S extra-slim, 530 and MLC 530 SPG for smart muting. |
| ELC 100 curtains | Curtains for point-of-operation protection, with a working distance of up to 6 m and a protected field length of up to 1500 mm. They have a multi-level alignment display and need no configuration, which shortens mounting on simple machines. |
| RSL 200 and RSL 400 laser scanners | Scanners with configurable protective and warning fields, for safeguarding machines and guided vehicles. RSL 200 is compact, RSL 400 has a range of 8.25 m and a scanning angle of 270°, plus a measurement output for navigation. |
| MSI relays and controllers | Evaluation units for safety sensors, contact extensions and compact MSI 400 controllers for small and medium machines. The MSI-MD-FB interface handles muting (temporary bypass of the protection when material passes) on conveyor belts, together with ELC and MLC curtains. |
Why Leuze?
- ELC 100 curtains for points of operation — working distance up to 6 m, simple mounting and no configuration
- MLC series in four functional classes — type 4 and type 2, with blanking, cascading, extra-slim version or IP 69K
- RSL 200 scanner of only 80 × 80 × 86 mm — fits where other scanners do not
- RSL 400 with a range of 8.25 m and an angle of 270° — covers large areas and provides measurement data for navigation of AGVs and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- MSI safety relays and controllers from the same family — evaluate sensor signals and multiply contacts

How do we supply Leuze in Romania?
We can quote Leuze curtains, scanners and relays, plus the brand's optical sensors and code readers. The equipment is brought in to order, usually in 1–4 weeks, and when the item is available locally or at the supplier, the lead time falls towards 24–72 h. For identification, send us the full code from the device housing (for example MLC510R14-300 or RSL410-S/CU408-M12), the length of the protected field, the working distance and the type of connection. For a new machine, add the safety class required. The exact lead time is confirmed in the quotation.
We cannot replace a safety light curtain with another model without the full nameplate data and a check of the safety class required by the application.
Frequently asked questions about Leuze
What does Leuze make?
Leuze makes sensors and safety equipment for automation: photoelectric light curtains, safety laser scanners, MSI relays and controllers, optical and distance sensors, laser or camera-based code readers and optical data transmission systems. The company is headquartered in Owen, Germany.
How do I choose between an ELC 100 curtain and one from the MLC series?
ELC 100 suits simple points of operation, at working distances of up to 6 m, with no configuration. MLC is chosen when extra functions appear, such as blanking, cascading, muting, Ex marking or IP 69K, or when the distance reaches 20 m. Send us the field height and the resolution required.
Do you bring Leuze products into Romania, and how quickly?
Yes, Leuze curtains, scanners and relays are brought in to order. The usual interval is 1–4 weeks from the order, and the lead time can drop to 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier. The lead time in the quotation, set after the full code is identified, remains the valid one.
I have an RSL scanner with an old code; how do you determine which item replaces it?
We read the full code from the nameplate, including the connection unit suffix, for example CU408-M12 or CU411-RS4, then check whether that item can still be supplied or whether a compatible variant exists. From the suffix we confirm the connection or the interface.
What data should I include in a quotation request for a safety scanner or curtain?
State the type of device, the code on the housing, the height or length of the protected field, the working distance, the resolution, the interface wanted and whether the application needs muting. For a scanner, add the size of the protection zone and whether the vehicle moves in both directions.
How do I request a Leuze quotation?
Send the Leuze code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
