Omron F3W Safety Light Curtain
The Omron F3W Safety Light Curtain is an industrial safety device designed to protect operators by detecting intrusion into hazardous machine areas. This series is positioned within Omron’s safety light curtain category and is engineered for consistent and reliable presence detection in industrial automation environments. The F3W series supports machine safeguarding requirements across manufacturing lines, assembly stations, and automated equipment. Manufactured by Omron, this product is part of the Omron Safety Light Curtain portfolio used for industrial safety applications.
The Omron F3W Safety Light Curtain operates by creating an invisible infrared light field between an emitter and receiver to detect human entry into restricted zones. When the light beams are interrupted, the system immediately sends a stop signal to the machine, helping reduce the risk of injury. The F3W series is designed for stable operation in standard industrial environments and supports integration with safety control systems and machine safety circuits. Its robust construction allows dependable performance in factory automation setups where operator protection is critical. Common applications include press machines, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and automated production lines where compliance with industrial safety practices is required. By combining accurate detection with reliable response, the F3W series plays a key role in maintaining safe and controlled industrial operations.
