The Omron F3SG-4SRB0160-14 is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the F3SG-SR series, built for finger protection with a 14mm detection capability and a 10mm beam pitch across 15 beams. The protective height is 160mm, and the operating range spans 0.3m to 10.0m, making it suitable for point-of-operation guarding on assembly stations, press brakes, and automated cells where small-diameter access must be caught. Supply is 24VDC, and the enclosure carries IP65/IP67/IP67G ratings — dust-tight, oil-resistant, and waterproof to submersion depths, so it holds up in washdown environments or near steam-cleaned presses.
The 14mm detection capability and 10mm beam pitch define the smallest object the curtain catches — finger-sized intrusions down to 14mm diameter. That is tighter than a hand-only curtain (30mm typical), so it is the right choice when an operator can reach past the light plane with a tool or fingertip. The 160mm protective height covers a 160mm vertical zone; for taller openings, multiple units are cascaded. The 0.3m minimum operating range means the curtain can be mounted close to the hazard without a dead zone, which matters on compact press-brake tooling. The IP67G rating adds oil resistance to the standard IP67 water ingress protection, so it survives on transfer lines where cutting fluids or hydraulic oil mist are present.
Blanking and muting functions
The F3SG-4SRB0160-14 supports blanking and muting functions. Blanking allows fixed or floating objects (e.g., a workpiece fixture) to pass through the light curtain without triggering a stop, while muting temporarily suspends the safety function during a defined material-handling cycle. These are configured via the controller or external muting sensors, not through DIP switches on the curtain itself.
