The Omron F3SG-4SRB0760-14-F is a type-4 safety light curtain from the F3SG-SR series, designed for finger detection with a 14mm detection capability. It uses 75 beams at a 10mm pitch to cover a 760mm protective height, operating on a 24VDC supply. The unit is rated IP65/IP67/IP67G, making it dust-tight and resistant to water and oil ingress. The effective operating range spans 0.3m to 10.0m, suitable for guarding access to machinery where the operator must reach into the danger zone. The 14mm detection capability means it will catch a 14mm-diameter finger or tool, which is the standard for finger protection per IEC 61496-2.
The 14mm detection capability and 10mm beam pitch define the minimum object size the curtain can reliably detect. For a safety application, this determines the minimum safe distance from the hazard — tighter pitch allows the curtain to be mounted closer to the pinch point, reducing the machine footprint. The 760mm protective height covers a typical vertical access zone for a standing operator reaching into a machine. The IP65/IP67/IP67G rating means the unit can be hosed down during washdown cycles (IP65), submerged temporarily (IP67), and resists oil mist (IP67G). This is critical for food processing, packaging, or machining environments where coolant and washdown are routine. Blanking and muting functions are built in. Blanking lets you disable specific beams to allow a workpiece to pass through without triggering a stop, while muting temporarily suspends the curtain during a material transfer cycle. These are configurable via the controller, not hardwired, so the same curtain can be adapted to different machine cycles.
