Omron F3SG Series Light Curtain Receiver, Sender, 44 Beam(s), 25 mm Resolution

This light curtain is a receiver unit designed to protect personnel and machinery by creating an optical safety barrier for access control in industrial settings. It operates as a safety sensor within machine-guarding arrangements, detecting interruptions across multiple beams to stop or prevent hazardous motion. The device is intended for applications that require Type 2 protective performance with compact sensor packaging.

• 44 detection beams provide fine-grained object recognition
• 25mm beam spacing delivers improved intrusion detection accuracy
• 0.3-20m scanning range enables flexible mounting distances
• 13 ms maximum response time supports prompt hazard interruption
• 28.8V maximum supply permits integration with common control systems
• 20m protective width allows coverage of large safeguarding zones

• Suitable for guarding automated press and stamping cells
• Ideal for perimeter protection around palletising stations
• Used with robotic workstations requiring light-based access control
• Can be used for conveyor line end-of-line safeguarding
• Appropriate for integration into inspection and testing areas

With 25mm beam spacing and 44 beams across the active area, the receiver senses intrusions matching the beam resolution characteristic, enabling detection of relatively small cross-sectional obstructions.

The receiver supports a maximum response latency of 13 ms, which governs the time from beam interruption to output signalling for safety circuits.

The sensor has a profile width of 32mm and a height of 38mm, so mounting arrangements should accommodate these compact dimensions for flush or surface-mounted installations.

The specified operational separation range extends from 0.3m up to 20 m, allowing installation flexibility for varied machine layouts.
