The F3SG-4SRA0560-25 is an F3SG-SR series safety light curtain with a 25 mm detection capability, meaning it is rated for hand protection per IEC 61496 — it catches a hand or finger reaching into the hazard zone. The 560 mm protective height and 20 mm beam pitch (28 beams) define the coverage area: a vertical plane 560 mm tall, with no gap larger than 20 mm between beams. Operating range spans 0.3 m to 20.0 m, so it works across short machine-access openings up to longer perimeter guarding distances. The IP65/IP67/IP67G ingress protection rating means the sensor body and optics withstand washdown — dust-tight, protected against temporary immersion, and with oil resistance (the G suffix). This suits food-and-bev lines or machining centers where coolant mist and high-pressure cleaning are routine. Supply is 24 VDC, standard for safety circuits in most control panels.
Safety light curtains of this class guard point-of-operation hazards on presses, assembly stations, packaging machinery, and robotic cells. The blanking and muting functions (listed features) allow fixed or floating blanking to ignore stationary objects in the field, and muting to temporarily bypass the curtain during material transfer — common on conveyor-fed machines.
