It is a safety-rated optoelectronic device used for guarding access to hazard zones, such as press brakes, robotic cells, and assembly lines, where personnel need to be detected entering a dangerous area.
As a safety light curtain, the key selection parameter is the detection capability and the protected height. The F3SJ-A1025N20 is a member of the F3SJ series, which typically offers finger, hand, or body detection resolutions depending on the specific variant. The order code itself encodes the protected height and resolution — the '1025' in the code indicates a protected height of 1025 mm, and 'N20' indicates a 20 mm resolution, meaning it detects objects (like fingers) as small as 20 mm entering the field. This makes it suitable for applications requiring finger detection per IEC 61496-2, such as press guarding or automated assembly stations where operator hands must be detected reaching into the hazard zone.
