F3SJ-A1487P14

Light curtains are optical safety devices commonly used in industrial settings, offering a reliable and simple method of safeguarding both personnel and machinery from accidental contact or ingress. By emitting multiple invisible beams of light, typically within a protective housing, light curtains create a detachable field of protection between any potentially hazardous area and the operator. When one of these beams is transmitted across the safety area, any intrusion into the light curtain will cause an automatic shut-off of the hazardous process.

The F3SJ-A1487P14 is a light curtain offering reliable protection for personnel and equipment, with a range of functions and options enabling it to meet a range of machine safety requirements in various applications.

Application Field

The F3SJ-A1487P14 light curtain is typically used for three primary application areas, which are full-fencing, two-handed control, and access control applications. Full fencing applications involve using the sensor to shield an entire hazardous area from any form of unauthorized access, such as machines with moving parts or hazardous materials. Two-handed control applications involve using the light curtain to ensure that two different and independent signals or actions are required in order to activate a process, and access control applications involve using the light curtain to provid a barrier of protection for personnel when entering or exiting areas.

Working Principle of the F3SJ-A1487P14 Light Curtain

The F3SJ-A1487P14 light curtain is made up of two components - a sender and a receiver. The sender contains a controlled pulsed light source, which emits an invisible field of infrared light which detects any interruption in the field of light. When the field of light is broken, this interrupts the signal and triggers a response from the receiver. The receiver then sends a signal to a receiving device which then triggers whatever safety devices have been installed according to the application requirements.

The F3SJ-A1487P14 offers a range of options for configuring the safety functions. Options for configuring the light curtain include setting the total number of infrared beams for various applications, as well as the precision of the detection range and light sources for different areas. The accuracy of the detection range can be set up to 0.8mm, while the response time (the time between the light beam being interrupted and the response from the receiver) is set to 0.4ms.

The F3SJ-A1487P14 also offers a range of other features to support the different application requirements. This includes a +/-30 degree of angle adjustment for the beam rotation to allow the light curtain to be set up to accommodate a wide range of equipment designs. There is also a built-in self-checking system which can detect any faults within the system and discontinue the safety function in the event of a malfunction. This ensures that the system is running reliably at all times.

Overall, the F3SJ-A1487P14 is a safe, reliable, and easy to install light curtain system, which offers a comprehensive range of options to support a range of machine safety requirements. By providing a protective field of infrared light, the F3SJ-A1487P14 light curtain allows personnel and machinery to remain safe from accidental contact, and offers accurate protection in even the most stringent industrial environments.
