“Easy” safety barriers
The Omron F3SG-R Safety barriers combine a torsion-resistant structure to ensure easy alignment with an innovative malfunction search based on QR code that directs the user to a web page with information for troubleshooting.
To meet the widest range of needs, the barriers are available in two versions: the F3SG-RE for simple on/off sensing and the advanced version F3SG-RA for more versatile solutions. Both are equipped with pre-wired connector and a clearly visible LED status indicator, but the F3SG-RA can be cascaded up to three series and have a wide range of additional features including the ability to choose between different ways of muting, fixed or floating blanking, reduced resolution and preset functions that prevent the machine from being restarted while the operator is still inside the working area.
A high degree of protection. These barriers may have a finger resolution, with a detection capability of 14 mm, or hand resolution, with capacity of 30 mm. The protected height is up to 2080 mm for the finger resolution, with a maximum distance of 10 m, and up to 2510 mm for hand protection, at a distance up to 20 m.
Omron has equipped the barriers with IP67 protection grade access and they have been built to stand up to washing and dusty environments. The very rigid structure eliminates torsional misalignment between the ends and makes set-up fast and simple. Furthermore, installation is further facilitated by the incorporated optical synchronization system, which makes connection between emitter and receiver superfluous.
The M12 Smartclick connectors require only 1/8 of a turn to lock, the tightened position of the IP67 connection is evident, so no torque management is required. Several standard and optional accessories facilitate adjustment also after installation has been completed and allow for a greater protection of the optics.
