Easy line layout changes
Just replace the light curtain with the same protective height*
Even if the safety
distance changes, just
replace the light curtain
to ensure safety
Simply replace a light curtain using the same accessories because the F3SG-SR Series and F3SG-PG Series
share the same housing. There is no need to select and install accessories for a new light curtain.
Example : In order to secure a working space by installing the light curtain closer to the machine,
the perimeter guarding model is replaced with the finger protection model
* Except for some models and accessories.See page 37 and following for details.

Perfect fit
Protection without dead space*
Protective heights are available in increments of 40 mm up to 1,000 mm*. The perfect protective
height for any protected area ensures safety and eliminates the need for additional measures.
* F3SG-SR Finger and Hand Protection models only.
* Except for F3SG-SR Finger Protection models.
The F3SG-SR Series eliminates dead space that previously existed even when light curtains are
series-connected or U-shape connected. Safer systems can be designed.
Problem
Problem
The light curtain that does not completely fit
the protected area requires additional measures
(e.g., adding a protection cover).
Dead space exists at the joint.
The flexible height model requires no additional
measures.
Eliminates dead space and ensures safety.

The ON or OFF state of the light curtain and low light intensity can be checked.
The ABI also facilitates fine adjustment of beams for long-distance sensing.
Reduce beam adjustment time.
