The Omron F3SG-4SRB0560-25 is an active-production safety light curtain from the F3SG-SR series, rated for hand protection with a 25 mm detection capability and a 20 mm beam pitch across 28 beams. The 560 mm protective height and 0.3 m to 20.0 m operating range cover a wide access zone; the 24 VDC supply is standard for safety circuits. IP65/IP67/IP67G ingress protection — dust-tight, waterproof, and oil-resistant — suits washdown environments in automotive or food lines.
The 25 mm detection capability and hand protection rating mean this curtain resolves a finger or hand entering the field — not just a torso. For a Tier-1 line running press or robot cells, that is the spec that gates the safety distance calculation per ISO 13855. The 20 mm beam pitch and 28 beams give a dense curtain; the 560 mm protective height covers a typical vertical access opening. Operating range from 0.3 m to 20.0 m allows mounting near the hazard or across a wider gap; the minimum 0.3 m keeps the curtain usable even in tight retrofits where a longer minimum range would force a standoff. The -30°C to 55°C operating temperature range covers unheated warehouses and plant-floor extremes. The IP65/IP67/IP67G rating is the deciding factor for washdown zones: IP67G adds oil resistance, so this curtain holds up in machining centers where coolant mist is present. Standard 24 VDC supply simplifies integration with existing safety relays or controllers.
Integration notes
Blanking and muting functions are built in, which allows the curtain to ignore fixed obstructions (blanking) or temporarily suspend detection during a material feed (muting). For a commissioning engineer, this reduces the need for external bypass logic — the muting function is handled inside the curtain, simplifying the safety PLC program. Confirm the muting sensor configuration matches the Omron wiring guide for the F3SG-SR series; the muting inputs are on the controller connector.
