F3SJ-E (EASY Type)  NEW!

 

Start Safety Easily with the "EASY Type"

Cost Reduction with 1/2* the Mounting Time

*Comparison with existing OMRON products.


The EASY Type Safety Light Curtain is well-suited for straight forward ON/OFF detection applications.

By carefully selecting the simple functions, we have reduced man hours necessary for installation by 1/2 when compared with existing OMRON models. Reduced installation time means added savings to your project budget.



Machine Safety First, Narrowed Down to the Simplest Functions


Upon detection of personnel, the machine stops. Simple yet very optimal!


I only need simple functions.
 

 

1/2 the Mounting Time
Fixed Response Time Makes Calculation of the Safety Distance Easier

 

Reduced wiring, quick-mount brackets and easy-to-view alignment beams all add up to cost savings. In addition, with one fixed response time, it is easier to calculate the safety distance.

 

OMRON has developed quick-mount brackets which speed mounting to aluminum framing. This unique design allows for smooth horizontal movement, beam alignment is easy.
 

Configured to freely rotate the main body of the light curtain.


 

 

Global Support


OMRON supports you through our global network.

 

 

Easy-to-view Diagnostics


These indicators let you intuitively know the status and cause of any error, allowing faster installation while reducing machine down time.


Light curtain status can be immediately determined as the LED will light to indicate the status or possible error.

F3SJ-B (BASIC Type)  NEW!

 

Fits Into Any Site, Equipped with Muting Function and Series Connection

 

Inherited all functions from EASY type, BASIC type also supports muting functions and series connection, thus ideal for installations that require multiple safety light curtains.

 

 

3 Sets Connected in Series


It is possible to connect up to 3 sets of safety light curtains in series. These sensors can be placed in a U-shaped or L-shaped pattern with a single power line, thus reducing wiring work.

 

Series connection

 

 

Error Indication While Muting is In Progress   Industry First!


The BASIC type includes a muting function which temporarily disables the safety light curtain when a workpiece passes through. When error occurs, it can be instantly recognized from the pattern of the LED indicators.


Simple muting 
 

Muting error indicator blinks when error occurs.

The days of searching through user manuals to find the cause of certain muting errors are long gone. Now these errors and their causes can be well understood.
 

 

Functions Inherited from the EASY Type


Simple functions such as universal power voltage specification, easy-to-view diagnostics, a fixed response time have been inherited from the EASY type, As a result, expect reduced work-hours at each stage of use, from design and installation to operation.

F3SJ-A (Advanced Type)

 

Multi-functional for Special Applications such as Finger Protection

 

The detection capability supports finger protection through use of 9-mm resolution. The ADVANCED type 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

 

PC Setting Tool: Beam alignment is easier.

With the ADVANCED Type 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

 

Finger protection: detection capability of 14 mm

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.
 

Fixed blanking

Fixed blanking - the beam that would otherwise be constantly interrupted by the workbench is disabled.

Floating blanking

In this case, 2-beam floating blanking is set. If three or more beams are interrupted, the output goes OFF.


 

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.
 

Dividing the zone between series-connected sensors

 

Warning zone: dividing the zone between series connected sensors.

A single sensor zone can also be divided

 

Warning zone: A single sensor zone can also be divided

 

 

Series Connection Up To 10 m

Long protective height

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.

Common Features

 

Laser Pointer Used to Easily Align the Beams*   EASY / BASIC / ADVANCED Type

 

* Sold separately

 

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.)

 

 

Top and Bottom Blue LEDs Enabling Beam Alignment   EASY / BASIC Type
 

Simple positional alignment can be done using the blue LEDs at the top (TOP) and bottom (BTM) of the emitter and receiver. With the blue LEDs ON, you can see at a glance that the beams' positions are correctly aligned.

 

Top LED lights up when the upper end is correctly receiving light. Bottom LED lights up when the lower end is correctly receiving light.

 

 

Achieving Muting Function without a Controller   BASIC / ADVANCED Type


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 (for F3SJ-B: F39-CN10 and for F3SJ-A: 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.

Use example of a muting key cap for F3SJ-A


The safety light curtain can be disabled when an AGV carrying a workpiece passes through.


[Built-in muting function] No controller required

Simply attach the Key Cap (sold separately) to the sensor
