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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
Partial muting

|
Position detection muting

|
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

|
Floating blanking

|
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

|
A single sensor zone can also be divided

|
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.

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.

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.
