Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-165-E 2TLA022301R1000 Safety Light Curtain?

The ABB Orion1-4-14-165-E 2TLA022301R1000 is an advanced Type 4 safety light curtain designed for finger detection and non-contact protection around hazardous industrial machinery. As part of the ABB Orion1 Extended safety light curtain series, it combines a transmitter and receiver with a fine 14 mm resolution, providing dependable protection where operators require frequent access close to hazardous machine areas.

This Orion1 Extended model provides a substantial 1650 mm protected height and an operating range of 0.2–7 m. Its 14 mm resolution is specifically intended for finger detection, making the light curtain suitable for point-of-operation safeguarding and applications where precise detection close to hazardous machinery is required.

The Orion1-4-14-165-E combines compact construction with advanced functionality including cascading, muting, blanking, beam coding and reduced resolution. With a specified 31 ms response time and Type 4 classification, it provides machine builders and automation engineers with a flexible optical safety solution for demanding industrial installations.

Advanced Non-Contact Protection for Industrial Machinery

Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1 create an optical protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a finger, hand or other object interrupts this field, the safety system can initiate the required machine safety response. This allows operators to access machinery frequently without needing to open and close a physical guard during every operating cycle.

The Orion1 Extended series provides additional flexibility for complex machine safety installations. Cascading enables compatible light curtains to be incorporated into more extensive protective arrangements, while muting, blanking, beam coding and reduced resolution functions support applications involving material movement, intentional field obstructions and multiple optical safety devices.

Typical Applications

• Point-of-operation protection on industrial machinery.
• Finger detection around hazardous machine areas.
• Production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Automated manufacturing cells.
• Machine loading and unloading stations.
• Applications requiring muting, blanking or cascading.
• OEM machinery and industrial automation safety systems.
