ABB orion shield-165

Why Choose the ABB Orion Shield-165 Lens Shield?

The ABB Orion Shield-165, part number 2TLA022313R6000, is a purpose-designed lens shield for ABB Orion1 Base safety light curtains. It is specifically intended for corresponding Orion1-4-xx-165-B models, providing an additional protective barrier over the optical surface of the safety device in industrial machinery and automation applications.

As part of the ABB Orion Shield accessory range, the Orion Shield-165 helps protect the front lens of a compatible Orion1 Base light curtain against impacts, sparks and other sources of physical damage. This additional protection is particularly useful in demanding production environments where exposed safety equipment may be vulnerable to accidental contact, process debris or other mechanical hazards.

The Orion Shield-165 has a specified overall length of 1715 mm, with ABB dimensional data specifying an Li dimension of 670 mm and an Lo dimension of 200 mm. Each package contains the necessary components to protect one safety light curtain unit, either the transmitter or receiver, so two shields should be ordered where both units of a complete transmitter-receiver pair require protection.

Reliable Lens Protection for Safety Light Curtains

Safety light curtains depend on their optical transmitter and receiver surfaces remaining protected and unobstructed so that the safety system can reliably monitor access to hazardous machine areas. In demanding production environments, exposed optical surfaces may be vulnerable to accidental impacts, sparks and process-related debris, making dedicated lens protection valuable where the safety device requires additional physical shielding.

The ABB Orion Shield range provides dedicated protection for compatible Orion safety light curtains without requiring a general-purpose enclosure around the complete installation. The Orion Shield-165 is dimensioned specifically for corresponding Orion1-4-xx-165-B models and protects either one transmitter or one receiver. Where both sides of a complete light curtain pair require protection, two Orion Shield-165 units should be ordered.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guarding systems.
• Automated manufacturing and assembly equipment.
• Metalworking and fabrication machinery.
• Production areas where light curtains may be exposed to sparks or impacts.
• Material handling and conveyor systems.
• Safety installations using compatible ABB Orion1 Base light curtains.
