Omron, F3SG-R Series Smart Muting Actuator

This sensor accessory is a smart muting actuator designed to integrate with safety light curtain systems in industrial settings. Manufactured by Omron, it functions as an add-on device to manage temporary bypass of detection zones where material or personnel movement must be permitted during specific operations. It is intended for use in non-hazardous environments and supports machine safety configurations that require controlled muting sequences.

• Compatible with F3SG-R series for streamlined integration
• Enables controlled temporary muting for automated workflows
• Electronic actuation supports precise muting timing
• Designed for non-hazardous area deployment
• Facilitates safer material handling without full system disablement

• Used with safety light curtains in conveyor transfer points
• Suitable for automated loading and unloading stations
• Ideal for integrating with machine safeguarding systems
• Can be used for intermittent access during assembly tasks
• Used for temporary muting during part ejection operations

It connects as an accessory to the light curtain control architecture, signalling authorised muting events while leaving the primary protective function active.

No, it is intended solely for standard industrial areas and is not certified for hazardous locations.

The actuator initiates and terminates muting periods electronically, allowing timed passage through detection fields without requiring full safety system shutdown.

Yes, it is suitable for various safeguarding configurations where conditional suspension of detection is required for process continuity.
