Includes two types of blanking functions
Blanking function for changing the detection pattern of the
safety light curtain.
Basic pattern 1: Floating blanking function
This function allows you to disable an unspecified 1, 2, or 3
optical axes. If more than the set optical axes is interrupted,
the output shuts off.
(Example of floating blanking function)
Floating-and-blanking function
Basic pattern 2: Fixed blanking function
Specific optical axes are masked by teaching and disabled.
(Example of fixed blanking function)
Optical axis can be shaded
and disabled when a work
piece is in detection area.

Fix Blanking Function
The fix blanking function with F3SN,
the instant the work stand removed,
resets blanking, and the invalid
optical axis returns effectively.
Since it is detectable even if a hand
invaded, it is safe.

Safety Sensors / Components
The moving rod that is
installed on the machine,
can move up and down
in the protective field.
However, nullification of
mere optical axis will
remain as it is, even if
the work piece was removed.
Since it is undetectable even
if a hand invaded, it is dangerous.
