F20-B/Side-opening hole

Industrial-grade safety laser scanner—high-performance, cost-effective import alternative, the top choice for the textile and synthetic fiber industry.

The F20 is a high-performance 2D laser scanning sensor specifically designed for industrial area protection. Based on Time-of-Flight (TOF) ranging technology, it offers a 270° field of view and an exceptionally wide detection range of 8 meters (at 2% reflectivity). The F20 was developed specifically to replace expensive imported equipment, enabling equivalent safety protection logic at a lower cost in scenarios where mandatory safety certification is not required.
The F20 features a built-in dual-circuit safety output (OSSD) with external device monitoring (EDM) functionality and supports switching among 16 zone groups. Its filtering algorithm has been specially optimized for the textile and synthetic fiber industries, enabling it to effectively penetrate flying fibers and dust particles, thereby addressing the high false-alarm rate typical of conventional photoelectric switches. With an IP67 protection rating and outstanding shock resistance, the F20 is the ideal safety guardian for applications such as bobbin-reeling machines, stackers, and automated production lines, helping to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Overview

Significant cost reduction and efficiency improvement

Specifically designed for cost-sensitive projects, the F20 significantly reduces procurement and maintenance costs while maintaining industrial-grade performance, making it the ultimate cost-effective solution for upgrading aging equipment and modernizing production lines.

Resistant to harsh environmental interference

Specifically for textile and synthetic fiber workshops Flying catkins and dust In terms of environment, the F20 has optimized its multi-echo and dust-filtering algorithms, significantly reducing the false alarm rate and ensuring continuous production.

Comprehensive security logic

Although positioned as an economy model, the F20 features a full suite of safety logic, including: Restart Interlocking and External Device Monitoring (EDM) And dual-channel OSSD outputs ensure reliable shutdown in the event of a hazard.

Guardian of Textiles and General Industry

Safety Applications in Textile Workshops

The F20 is playing a critical role in applications such as bobbin-retrieval carts at synthetic fiber plants, automated guided vehicles in spinning mills, and stacker cranes in automated warehouses. Replacing traditional mechanical bumpers, the F20 provides non-contact safety protection. Thanks to its flexible zone-setting capability, the F20 not only prevents vehicle collisions with personnel but also avoids frequent downtime caused by misidentifying environmental features—such as walls or pillars.

Advantages: Feature alignment, powerful performance

8-meter ultra-large protection radius—surpassing the competition.

Typical safety radar protection distances are only 3–5 meters, whereas the F20 increases this figure to... 8 meters (For objects with a low reflectance of 2%).

This means that the F20 can cover a wider hazardous area, or allow mobile devices to operate at higher speeds (because there’s sufficient braking warning distance). In conjunction with... 270° With its wide field of view, a single device can achieve full coverage of the equipment’s corners or sides, eliminating blind spots.

“Anti-Interference Brain” Optimized for Dusty Environments

In industries such as textiles, woodworking, and flour milling, airborne fibers and dust are the “archenemies” of optical sensors. Rather than simply transplanting general-purpose algorithms, the F20 was specifically developed with targeted approaches. Dust Penetration and Filtration Model 。

It can intelligently detect and ignore tiny floating particles, responding only to actual people or obstacles. This significantly reduces the number of false shutdowns on the production line, enhancing production efficiency while ensuring safety.

Graphical configuration—easy to use right out of the box.

The F20 is equipped with an intuitive Chinese host computer software. Users can simply drag and drop with the mouse to draw protection zones (in red) and alarm zones (in yellow) of any desired shape.

Supports 16-zone configuration, allowing real-time switching via external I/O signals. Whether it’s AGV turning and obstacle avoidance or protective switching between different workstations for robotic arms, all can be easily achieved.

IP67-rated protection—no fear of harsh operating conditions.

The F20 features a fully sealed metal body design with a protection rating that reaches... IP67 Completely prevents dust from entering and can withstand brief immersion.

After undergoing rigorous vibration and shock tests (GB/T 2423), the F20 can withstand the continuous vibrations generated by long-term operation of trolley cars and AGVs, ensuring stable performance over the long term and reducing maintenance frequency.
