The Omron F3SG-4SRB1200-45 is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the F3SG-SR series, designed for arm and foot protection per IEC 61496. The 45mm detection capability means it catches a finger or hand reaching into the hazard zone — this is the standard resolution for body-part detection at access points. The 1200mm protective height, built from 30 beams at a 40mm pitch, covers a typical vertical opening on a machine guard or palletizing cell. Operating range spans 0.3m to 20.0m, so it works on short reach-in stations as well as long perimeter crossings without needing a separate model for each distance.
Environmental and supply chain posture
Lifecycle status is listed as active. The IP65/IP67/IP67G rating means the emitter and receiver housings are dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion — the IP67G suffix adds oil resistance, so this curtain holds up on machining lines where coolant mist is present. Supply voltage is 24VDC, standard for safety circuits. Operating temperature range of -30°C to 55°C covers cold warehouses and warm factory floors without derating. Sourced through authorized distribution only — full chain of custody is available with each unit, which matters for safety-certified components where traceability to the OEM is required for SIL/PL validation.
Blanking and muting capability
Built-in blanking and muting functions allow fixed or floating blanking to ignore stationary objects like a machine frame within the field, and muting to temporarily bypass the curtain during a material pass cycle. These are configured via the controller or external muting sensors — no separate blanking mask or external logic module is required for basic setups. This keeps the wiring simple on a transfer line where pallets break the beam during normal operation.
