Omrons new safety light curtains, the F3SN and the F3SH are Category 4 sensors whose robust, metal construction and slim profiles make them invaluable in areas where operation, maintenance and repair work is a ne- cessity in an industrial environment.
Meeting the highest safety standards The F3SN provides finger, hand, limb and body protection in areas where access to dangerous machine parts is required while systems are still operating. The F3SH is a multi-beam safety sensor for body protection. If a person enters a dangerous zone the F3SH ensures that the hazardous equipment within that zone is shut off. Both sensors meet the highest safety standards, and their modular construction means that you have a wide variety of detection heights and resolutions to choose from.
F3SN/SH - safety sensor solutions for safe applications
4 resolutions, 62 standard products

Setting functions The setting console ensures that functions can be
programmed easily and safely next to your light curtain application.
The range completes Omrons safety product port- folio, and brings exceptional value to customers who need to meet appropriate levels of safety in the most cost-effective way possible.
Leading the range is the D4F, a four-contact limit safety switch whose ultra-compact size and performance make it unique. The D4NL and D4GL are guard lock safety-door switches with the same impressive holding force (minimum 1000N) and number of contacts (4 or 5); they only differ in shape to suit the application. The safety relay unit, the GS9B, is one of the smallest safety-monitoring relays on the market. All of these products are ideal for any industrial application where personnel need to be protected from machinery that could cause serious injury.
The perfect solution for all your safety requirements

Omrons E3C-LDA photoelectric laser sensor series is designed to provide advanced object detection, positioning and high-resolution sensing. What’s unique about the E3C-LDA is that the focal point and optical axis on the sensor head can be easily adjusted for precise beam adjustment, which in turn ensures easy set-up and very precise operation from a long distance. In addition, the E3C-LDA series offers three separate laser beam types – spot beam, line beam and area beam - to cover a multitude of applications!
Its state-of-the-art construction, speed, accuracy and built-in reliability combine to make this very compact photoelectric sensor series ideal for use in today’s production processes, where high precision and fast response time are vital. Typical applications include object detection in the semiconductor industry, grease, adhesive and seal inspection, assembly oriented applications in the automotive industry, and sheet displacement inspection in the paper and packaging industries.
E3X-DAS/E3X-MDA – The new fibre-amplifier generation
11
two-channel amplifier in one body with just 10 mm width. This dual fiber sensor is currently the slimmest in the industry.
This represents saving of up to 50 % in space and 40 % in power, the optimum solution where multiple detection in limited area is required. It is equipped with an AND/OR control output, so compact PLC’s and sensor controllers are no longer required.
The E3X-series is the ideal general purpose sensor for a wide range of applications. Typical applications are for small object detection in the semicon- ducter industry, position- and orientation check of parts in assembling and packaging industries also high precision detection in textile industry.
The new Omrons E3X-DA-S digital fiber amplifier takes a leading part in fiber sensing technology.
The E3X-DA-S offers fast and stable detection over a wide range of applications. It is the first digital fiber amplifier with Power Tuning Function, witch provides optimal incident light level settings for your sensor. This feature saves time and money by eliminating labour-intensive adjustments just Plug and Play.
Omrons innovative Auto Power Control (APC) function uses a 4-element LED circuit to counteract the deterioration of the light emitting element over time and therefore a highly stable long term detection performance. In addition, Omron offers a super slim version with the E3X-MDA series witch contains a
F210 – Compact hardware, highend software
NEW PRODUCTS
High End software functionality including Edge code and macro programming
The F210 general-purpose vision system is designed for a wide range of quality inspection applications in automated production processes. It contains powerful algorithms that ensure the inspection performance is fast and ultra-precise. These algorithms include Edge Code technology, Fine Matching tool and QUEST OCR/OCV. A trend-monitoring feature is also available for inspection analysis.
The F210’s flow-menu configuration software enables standard inspection tasks to be easily con- figured via the user-friendly GUI. In addition, a Macro Functions software option is available for OEMs and system integrators who wish to create their own application-specific vision systems. Cus- tomized operation flows can also be created in which nearly every system function can be accessed and manipulated.
E3NT-L – One of the most advanced sensors in the world
The E3NT-L is a distance-setting photoelectric sensor whose ease-of-use, robustness and intelligence make it one of the most advanced sensors around. It has a detection range of up to 2 meters, it features background and foreground suppression, and its patented optic design enables it to reliably detect objects regardless of their direction.
Built for every environment
The E3NT-L is a sealed unit, with a robust aluminium housing and smooth body design that prevents dirt from attaching to it. It is teachable and can be operated via just three keys. It is fully digital for stable, reliable information, and can be adapted to operate in the harshest of environments. These features make the E3NT-L suitable for applications in the material warehousing and food processing industries, where long yet precise distance sensing is required.
Z 300/Z 500 – High-precision, high-stability measurement on any surface
13
Omrons Z300 high-precision displacement sensor system is designed to provide very stable measurement on a wide variety of objects with surfaces that vary from transparent glass and highly reflective stainless steel to black rubber tyres. What?s more, the Z300 can measure the thickness between layers in multi-layered transparent objects!
The ability to offer such highly accurate measurements on such a variety of surfaces is thanks to Omrons innovative two-dimensional CCD sensor, which is combined with an enhanced controller run- ning a powerful algorithm that ensures optimal sensitivity, no matter how varied the reflected light. The Z300 also offers a choice of four high-resolution, long-distance sensor heads. These features make the Z300 the perfect measurement system for those in the glass, automotive, semiconductor and electronics industries who require high-precision visual measurements for solving application requirements that up to now simply couldn´t be done using a normal displacement sensor!
Omrons Z500 high-precision displacement sensor system is designed to provide a very accurate, stable measurement of an objectXs profile, no matter how complex the surface of the object. It does this by emitting a band of laser light (line beam) onto an object which reflects this beam onto a two- dimensional CCD sensor. A dedicated controller processes the CCD output to provide measurement data and a visual display of the objectXs profile on a monitor for evaluation.
The ability of the Z500 to offer extremely accurate measurements and on such a variety of surfaces is thanks to Omrons innovative two-dimensional CCD sensor.
Omron also has an optional sensor system (the Z510) that is dedicated to the inspection of welding beads. Both the Z500 and Z510 offer a choice of three sensor heads. These features make the Z500/Z510 the perfect measurement system for those in the automotive and aerospace industries, where high-precision glue bead, gap and weld inspections are required.
