Cascaded designs possible 4 segments, up to 400 beams Partial muting and position detection muting Cross-talk prevention Description Position Detection muting function Warning Zone function Position Detection With the F3SJ-A, part of the detection zone can be used as Muting Function is warning zone to generate an alarm when someone approaches used in applications the danger zone. If the person then enters the danger zone the where the workpiece F3SJ-A will send a stop signal to the guarded machine.

A limit switch or other means is used to detect when Detection zone the robot is in a safe position and muting is then applied. Partial muting function Muting temporarily disables the F3SJ-A when an object must pass through the detection zone, such as when supplying a workpiece to your equipment. The F3SJ-A beams Partial muting continue to guard all increases the level of areas except for where safety by only muting the workpiece passes the beams of the through. safety light curtain Warning zone where the workpiece passes through, while preventing muting in all other areas. Only the beams of the safety light curtain interrupted by the workpiece are muted. Omr On Scientific technOlOgieS, inc.
