Features

Multi-functional for Special Applications such as Finger Protection

The detection capability supports finger protection through use of 9-mm resolution. The F3SJ is equipped with various functions such as blanking, muting and the programming of warning zones. All settings can be done via an easy to use software tool. This tool simplifies installation that was previously complicated, thus reducing cost and increasing productivity.

Software Tool: Setting Parameters and Checking the System Status

With the SD Manager (PC setting tool), all parameters can be set and the system status can be checked with a personal computer. Complex settings are now simple to configure.

Finger Protection

Even if the distance from the hazard is short, Omron offers a lineup that includes safety light curtains with a detection capability of 9 mm.
 

Versatile Muting Functions

Equipped with partial muting that disables only the beams where a workpiece passes through, and position detection muting that disables the beams while detecting the position of a machine or robot.

Blanking Function

If a part of the mechanical equipment is within the detection zone of the Safety Light Curtain, the relevant beams can be disabled. This is applicable to both non-moving and also moving parts.
 

Warning Zone to Prevent Unnecessary Stoppage

Under normal use, if an intrusion occurs in the safety zone, the machine will stop immediately. However, use of a warning zone will only notify the operator that an intrusion has occurred. This can be used to prevent carelessness resulting in machine stoppage on the part of the operator.
 

Series Connection Up To 10 m

Sensors with protective height of up to 2.5 m are available for applications that involve large-sized workpieces. And if you need to make changes in the future, you can always extend the protective height with series connections. Up to four sets, or 400 beams, can be serially-connected, and with series connection cables up to 15 m in length, applications can cover a wide area.

Laser Pointer Used to Easily Align the Beams

Use of the laser pointer allows simple alignment of the beams especially across long distances. This saves approximately 60% of installation time.
 

F3SJ Setup Time Comparison with/without the F39-PTJ

(Conditions: The time was measured from temporary
attachment to the pole until the light beam is detected with
an mounting distance of 3 m and no tilt to mounting pole.)

Achieving Muting Function without a Controller

The muting function temporarily disables the light curtain when an object must pass through the detection zone, such as when supplying a workpiece to your equipment. In the past, this function required a dedicated muting controller, but now it is built into the F3SJ.

To use the muting function, purchase the Muting Key Cap (F39-CN6) (sold separately). The muting function is enabled simply by replacing the Unit's cap with this Key Cap. In addition, a muting sensor that determines the muting timing, as well as a muting lamp that notices the muting status to other operators, should be connected to the F3SJ.
