The OMRON F3SJ Series prioritizes machine safety with PLe/Safety Category 4 and SIL3 compliance. Detects personnel, reduces downtime, and offers cost savings with fixed response time and easy diagnostics. Customizable for diverse applications, it seamlessly integrates with existing systems.

EZ-SCREEN® LS light curtains are intuitive, easy-to-use safety devices used for machine safeguarding. They are built to withstand challenges commonly found in manufacturing and packaging environments.

• Highly visible alignment indicators and intuitive diagnostics simplify setup, facilitate troubleshooting and minimize system downtime

• Three resolutions (detection capability) available: 14, 23, and 40 mm with a range of up to 12 m (39 ft)

• Each emitter and receiver features a 5 mm recessed window and is protected against impact by a 3 mm thick aluminum housing and metal end caps

• System requires no PC software, DIP switches, or other device for quick, easy configuration

• Dual scan technology makes the sensor highly immune to EMI, RFI, ambient light, weld flash, and strobe light

• No blind zone design provides end-to-end sensing to eliminate gaps in detection

• Cascade up to four systems of any length, resolution and number of beams

• IP65/IP67 rated emitter/receiver pairs exceed OSHA/ANSI control reliability requirements and are certified to Type 4 per IEC 61946, Category 4 PLe per EN ISO13849.1, and SIL3/SILCL3 per IEC 61508/IEC 62061

Safety light curtains protect personnel from injury and machines from damage by creating a sensing screen that guards machine access points and perimeters. Banner offers intuitive, easy-to-use safety light curtains for a wide variety of safety applications.

Type 4 safety light curtains protect personnel from injury and machines from damage by guarding points of operation, access, areas and perimeters. Type 2 safety light curtains are a cost-effective light curtain safety solution for guarding lower-risk applications, where the result of an accident is only a slight injury.
