The Omron F3SJ-A0965P20 is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the F3SJ-A series, built for point-of-operation guarding where a 20 mm detection capability is required — that means it catches fingers reaching into the hazard zone (finger-protection class per IEC 61496). Its 15 mm beam pitch and 64 beams give a 965 mm protective height, so it guards a vertical aperture just under a metre tall — sized for a standing operator's reach zone on a press, assembly station, or packaging machine. Rated range is 0.2 m to 9.0 m, which covers most machine guarding distances from close-in to across a small cell. The 24 VDC supply is standard for safety circuits; IP65 means the housing and optics handle washdown without a secondary enclosure — food-and-bev or wet machining lines are fine. Built-in blanking and muting functions let the curtain ignore fixed obstructions (like a fixture arm) or automatically bypass during a material pass-through, so you don't need an external safety controller for those logic moves.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the detection capability and what does it protect?
20 mm detection capability means it catches fingers (finger-protection class per IEC 61496). The 15 mm beam pitch and 64 beams cover a 965 mm protective height.
What is the operating range and supply voltage?
0.2 m to 9.0 m operating range, powered by 24 VDC. IP65 rated for washdown environments.
Does this light curtain support blanking or muting?
Yes, blanking and muting functions are built in — no external safety controller needed for fixed obstruction bypass or material pass-through logic.
