Advanced and Versatile Safety Light Curtain



Industrial automation and safety solutions provider Omron Automation Americas offers a light curtain that meets the needs for more flexible production line design. The broad functionality of the F3SG-SR Series Safety Light Curtain is designed to help manufacturers comply with global safety standards without sacrificing efficiency or throughput.

"To meet the challenges of today's marketplace, manufacturers now need to improve mix and volume flexibility and invest in more sophisticated equipment," said a company spokesperson. "The resulting variety in production line layouts can make it difficult to choose the right light curtains. Omron's offering helps reduce complexity and set-up time by minimizing wiring connections and providing easy-to-see color indicators for quick verification of beam status and alignment."

"In addition, the F3SG-SR supports a broader range of manufacturing needs by providing the necessary ruggedness to function in harsh environments," continued the spokesperson. "With an oil-proof IP67G rating and the ability to function in temperatures as low as -22 °F (-30 °C), this advanced design helps avoid the tendency of most light curtains to malfunction in many demanding industrial settings."

The light curtain features simple beam adjustment and multiple accessory options to reduce installation time. "These user-friendly features make it unnecessary to hire an engineer with specialized expertise to set up the F3SG-SR," said the spokesperson. The light curtain also makes it easier to identify the cause of equipment stoppages.
