ABB orion wet-030

Why Choose the ABB Orion WET-030 Protective Tube?

The ABB Orion WET-030, part number 2TLA022313R0100, is a robust protective tube for ABB Orion1 Base safety light curtains. Designed to provide additional environmental protection around compatible Orion safety devices, it is particularly suited to machinery and production areas where moisture, water jets, dust or demanding cleaning procedures could otherwise affect exposed safety equipment.

As part of the ABB Orion WET protective tube range, the Orion WET-030 uses a transparent PMMA POLICRIL body with a wall thickness of 4 mm. The protective construction achieves IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection, making the accessory suitable for applications requiring a high level of resistance to water and environmental contamination.

The Orion WET-030 is intended for the corresponding 300 mm Orion1 Base safety light curtain and has an overall tube length of approximately 520.7 mm. ABB specifies an operating-distance reduction factor of 10% for each protective tube used, allowing system designers to account for the optical effect of the enclosure when configuring a safety installation.

Reliable Protection for Safety Light Curtains

Safety light curtains rely on an unobstructed optical path between their transmitting and receiving elements. In environments exposed to water, dust and intensive cleaning, a compatible protective enclosure can help isolate the safety device from direct environmental exposure while maintaining its optical function.

The ABB Orion WET range is designed specifically for this purpose. With IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection and a transparent PMMA POLICRIL body, the Orion WET-030 provides an effective solution for integrating a compatible Orion1 Base light curtain into demanding machinery environments. When designing the safety system, the specified 10% operating-distance reduction for each tube should be taken into account.

Typical Applications

• Food and beverage processing machinery.
• Washdown production environments.
• Packaging and filling machinery.
• Industrial processing and manufacturing equipment.
• Machine guarding in wet or contaminated areas.
• Production lines using ABB Orion1 Base safety light curtains.
