The F3SG-4SRB0240-14 is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the F3SG-SR series, rated for finger protection with a 14 mm detection capability. That 14 mm resolution means it catches fingers reaching into the hazard zone — finger-protection class per IEC 61496-1 — so it is suited for access guarding around assembly stations or press brakes where hand entry is the risk. The 240 mm protective height and 23 beams at 10 mm pitch define the guarded area; pair it with a controller that matches the beam count and output type (OSSD). Operating range spans 0.3 m to 10.0 m, which covers most machine-perimeter and robot-cell openings. The 24 VDC supply is standard for safety circuits; verify your safety relay or controller can source the required current for the emitter-receiver pair. IP65/IP67/IP67G means the sensor body and optics withstand washdown — suitable for food-and-bev lines or machining centers where coolant spray is routine. The IP67G rating adds oil resistance, so it holds up in hydraulic press environments.
Built-in flexibility: blanking and muting
The F3SG-4SRB0240-14 supports blanking and muting functions onboard. Blanking lets you disable specific beams to allow fixed obstructions (e.g., a workpiece fixture) through the field without tripping. Muting temporarily suspends the light curtain during a defined material pass cycle — common on conveyor infeed stations. These are configurable via the controller, not hard-wired, so a single part number covers multiple cell layouts.
