ABB orion wet-k050
ABB Orion WET-K050 2TLA022313R3000 is an IP67, IP68 and IP69K protective tube designed for corresponding 500 mm ABB Orion2 Base and Orion2 Extended safety light grids in demanding industrial environments.
Why Choose the ABB Orion WET-K050 Protective Tube?
The ABB Orion WET-K050, ordering code 2TLA022313R3000, is a robust protective tube for ABB Orion2 safety light grids with a corresponding protected height of 500 mm. As part of the ABB Orion machine safety accessory range, it provides enhanced environmental protection for optical safety devices installed in wet, dusty and demanding industrial applications.
The Orion WET range is designed to enclose compatible optical safety devices where additional protection against water, dust and high-pressure washdown conditions is required. Its transparent protective body allows the Orion2 infrared safety beams to operate through the enclosure while providing an additional physical barrier around the safety light grid.
The Orion WET-K050 is designed for corresponding 500 mm ABB Orion2 safety light grids, including Orion2 Base and Orion2 Extended products. The protective tube has a length of 808 mm and provides IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection. Its 4 mm thick PMMA POLICRIL body is engineered for optical safety applications, with an operating distance reduction factor of approximately 10% for each tube used.

Enhanced Protection for ABB Orion2 Safety Light Grids
Safety light grids installed in wet, dusty or frequently cleaned industrial environments can require additional protection beyond their standard sensor housing. The ABB Orion WET system encloses a compatible Orion2 safety light grid inside a transparent protective tube, providing enhanced resistance to environmental exposure while allowing the optical machine safety system to continue operating.
With IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection, the Orion WET-K050 is particularly suitable for applications where machinery may be exposed to water or intensive cleaning processes. The optical characteristics of the protective material are designed for Orion safety applications, with no Effective Aperture Angle aberration and an operating distance reduction of approximately 10% for each protective tube used.
Typical Applications
- ABB Orion2 Base safety light grid installations.
- ABB Orion2 Extended safety light grid installations.
- Wet and washdown industrial environments.
- Food and beverage production machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Machine guarding and access protection requiring enhanced environmental protection.
