Omron F3SJ Advanced Series Light Curtain Sender, Receiver, 32 Beam(s), 14 mm Resolution

This light curtain provides a non-contact presence detection solution for industrial safety and machine guarding. It comprises separate emitter and receiver units designed to create a protective detection field suitable for access control and safeguarding moving equipment in production environments. The product delivers a compact protective height and is intended for integration where classified safety performance is required.

• 32 infrared beams deliver fine-grained intrusion detection
• 14mm beam pitch allows detection of small object ingress
• Type4 safety classification supports high-risk safeguarding
• 48ms maximum response time enables rapid hazard interruption
• Sender and receiver configuration permits flexible installation

• Suitable for safeguarding access points on assembly lines
• Ideal for integration with press and cutting machinery
• Used with robotic cells requiring presence monitoring
• Can be used for zone protection in material handling areas

The device uses an array of 32 aligned beams between sender and receiver to establish the sensing curtain

With a 14mm beam spacing the system can detect objects approximating that dimension crossing the beam path, enabling protection against small-finger or component intrusion.

The maximum response latency is 48ms, which should be factored into stop category and safety relay selection to ensure overall system reaction meets application stop-time requirements.

Its 299mm protective height and compact form factor allow placement where vertical clearance is limited while maintaining a defined safeguarded zone.
