Safety Light Curtain
last update: March 1, 2023
Simply watch for the top and bottom indicators to illuminate when adjustment is completed.
The optional laser pointer and lamp can be used to reduce the time required to set up the light curtain.
Four types of mounting brackets provide vertical or vertical and horizontal adjustment even after mounting, making beam adjustment easier.
Optical synchronization eliminates the need of wiring for synchronization between the emitter and receiver.
The resulting flexible wiring reduces disconnection risk and avoids noise sources.
No torque-control required:
the Smartclick connectors connect cables with just a 1/8th turn of the M12 waterproof connector.

Simple wiring makes installation faster.
Fewer cables reduce disconnection risk and noise trouble.
The lamp notifies when the incident light level drops due to dirt, which mp hich prevents sudden stops.
The error logs stored in the F3SG-RA can be downloaded to a PC that is connected with the F3SG-RA using the dedicated interface unit. The Configuration Tool SD Manager2 can be used to analyze errors to identify causes and solutions. The data on light intensity, power-ON time, and switching frequency can also be collected regularly for predictive maintenance.
The SD Manager2 can be used to check the status of the safety light curtain wirelessly after pairing the safety light curtain with PC via Bluetooth®, which reduces maintenance time.

The F3SG-RA provides the advanced Muting function that disables beams which detect the presence of a workpiece or the position of a machine or robot.
Workpieces can go in and out of a danger zone without stopping the machine.
[Conventional Muting] Muting secured safety, but the set-up was time consuming.
The smart muting actuator extends the functions of the F3SG-R in applications where a workpiece is vibrating forward and backward This prevents unexpected machine downtime and significantly reduces adjustment time.
When workpieces with various heights are conveyed on the same line, the dynamic muting function automatically sets the appropriate beams, based on the height of the object.
* Partial muting: A function that allows specified beams (e.g., beams blocked by a workpiece) to be disabled, keeping others active, even during muting.
The Configuration Tool SD Manager2 visualizes the installation positions and settings by logging the muting sensor operating conditions of the F3SG-R. It helps ensure reliable, first-time-right configuration.
The SD Manager2 helps you to make and change settings.
