Brochure

Automated production systems can be protected using fixed
guards, but where material goes in and out of a danger zone,
muting can aid efficiency without affecting operator safety. A
full range of muting options is available with F3S-TGR-CL safety
light curtains using standard Omron accessories. They can be
fully integrated so there’s no need for standalone muting
sensors, while standard connectors and dip-switch set-up
means the curtains can be fitted and configured easily.
Versatile muting for broader applications
Palletiser safety with integrated
muting
An F3S-TGR-CL safety system with a muting activator enables
automated muting when a package on a conveyor breaks the
beams. The F3S-TGR-CL safety system incorporates an active
side and a passive reflecting side with pre-installed mirrors.
When the package has passed the curtain, the beams are
reactivated. Functionality is the same whether used in a Type 2
or Type 4 safety application, in T-, L- or X-shape muting in
active-active or active-passive setup.
