Omron F3SJ Compatible Mounts
Notes for legacy replacements. This guide helps engineers swap the Omron F3SJ with DAIDISIKE DQC safety light curtains while preserving existing mounts. We cover mechanical fit, common brackets, and the adapter kits you'll need.
1) Legacy mount compatibility
While the Omron F3SJ mount profiles and bracket kits are not directly interchangeable with DAIDISIKE’s DQC series, you can use common adapter kits and brackets for smooth replacements. The following guide outlines compatible mounting systems and adjustments.
| Use case | Omron F3SJ (mounting) | DAIDISIKE DQC (mounting) | Required adjustments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finger protection (500 mm) | F3SJ standard, side brackets | DQC 30×30, side L-brackets | Use DQC adapter for bracket swap |
| Hand protection (600 mm) | F3SJ slim with end caps | DQC 30×30 slim, T-slot rear | Ensure proper tilt angle; add mid-support |
| Slim retrofit in tight spaces | F3SJ narrow profile | DQC 30×17.5 slim | Adapter kits required for rear slots |
2) Mechanical fit & adjustments
When switching from Omron F3SJ to DAIDISIKE DQC, it's essential to address physical fitments such as mounting brackets, clearance adjustments, and protective height (PH). Below are recommended installation steps for compatibility:
Bracket & Adapter Kits
- L-brackets: Compatible for DQC standard (30×30), quick installation in existing F3SJ mounts.
- T-slot sliders: For rear mounting on DQC slim (30×17.5), check depth clearance.
- Mid-support: For PH > 1000 mm, ensure added stability.
Mounting Alignment
- Angle check: Ensure optimal tilt angles for optical alignment (±3° tolerance).
- Mid-support addition: Add for high PH or heavy-duty environments.
- Torque limits: Tighten all fixtures to prevent shifting during operation.
3) Accessories compatibility
If you’re reusing existing accessories (covers, cables, or alignment lasers) from the Omron F3SJ, ensure the following swaps for proper fitment:
Mounting accessories
- L-bracket replacements for direct mounting on DQC
- Mid-support adaptors to avoid vibration and misalignment
Sensor alignment tools
- Laser pointer alignment for precise sensor setup
- Target card compatibility for both F3SJ and DQC models
Protection covers
- Omron F3SJ covers will not directly fit; opt for DQC-compatible protection covers
- Oil-mist and welding spatter covers are available for DQC model protection
4) Final checks & commissioning
After physical installation and wiring, ensure all connections are secure, and validate the system with operational tests.
- Verify mounting height and tilt; cross-check PH to avoid misalignment.
- Recalculate safety distance S = K×T + C with real-time tests.
- Ensure appropriate wiring from F3SJ to DQC; use the wiring cross-reference chart.
- Commission system with test rods (10/30/40 mm) per application requirements.
