Omron F3SG Series Light Curtain Receiver, Sender, 31 Beam(s), 14 mm Resolution

This light curtain provides non-contact presence detection for safeguarding hazardous areas in industrial settings. It comprises separate emitter and receiver units designed to interrupt machine cycles when the beam array is breached, enabling safer access control and personnel protection across production lines.

• 31-beam array delivers fine object detection and intrusion sensing
• 14mm beam spacing enables detection of small cross-sections
• 0.3-10m scanning capability supports short to medium ranges
• 8ms maximum response time reduces stop delay for moving equipment
• 10m maximum protective width allows broad coverage of workspaces
• 28.8V maximum supply voltage ensures compatibility with common control systems

• Suitable for safeguarding access to press and stamping equipment
• Ideal for perimeter protection on conveyor systems
• Used with robotic cells to prevent operator entry during cycles
• Can be used for light-screened safety at loading bays
• Appropriate for integration into automated assembly lines

Installation requires an emitter and a receiver mounted facing each other to form the protected plane

The 14mm beam interval determines the smallest detectable object size crossing the light plane, affecting sensitivity to fingers or tools.

The units operate effectively from 0.3m up to 10m separation, accommodating variable layout distances without additional optics.

The system’s response can be as fast as 8ms maximum, limiting the distance travelled by hazardous motion before shutdown.
