The new F3SG-R series safety light curtains combine a torsionally rigid construction with a new QR code troubleshooting feature to ensure easy alignment. To meet the needs of the widest possible range of users, the new light curtains are available in two versions, the basic F3SG-RE for simple on/off detection applications and the advanced F3SG-RA for versatile safety solutions.
Two versions...
The basic F3SG-RE versions, like the advanced F3SG-RA, feature pre-wired connectors to reduce wiring and clear LED on/off indicators, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for simple applications.
To meet additional requirements, the advanced F3SG-RA versions can be expanded to three sets. The F3SG-RA light curtains offer a wide range of additional features. These include a choice of muting modes, fixed and floating blanking, reduced resolution, and a pre-reset function that prevents a machine from being restarted while a worker is still present in a production cell.
... different types and heights
Both versions can be supplied as finger detection types with a detection capability of 14 mm or as hand detection types with a detection capability of 30 mm. Protection heights of up to 2080 mm can be offered for finger detection types with a maximum range of 10 m, and up to 2510 mm for the hand detection types with a maximum range of 20 m.
F3SG-R light curtains are IP67 rated and are built to withstand washdown and dusty environments. They feature an exceptionally rigid construction that eliminates longitudinal torsion problems and are quick and easy to install. To make installation even easier, the light curtains are equipped with an optical synchronization feature that eliminates the need to synchronize the wiring between transmitter and receiver.
Solve problems easily
Should any issues ever arise with these innovative products, users can simply scan a QR code sticker attached to the machine with a smartphone or tablet. They will be taken directly to a web page that provides detailed troubleshooting instructions. This information is available in eight languages.
Easy installation and adjustment
The F3SG-R series of safety light curtains utilise Smartclick M12 connectors which require only one eighth of a turn to secure. These connectors also provide a reliable IP67 connection without the need for torque measurements.
All versions and models in the F3SG-R series come standard with special mounting brackets that allow easy adjustments even after installation is complete. Optional accessories include an easy-to-attach cover that provides better protection for the optical surface against scratches and mechanical stress.
