ABB orion1-4-30-090-e

Why Choose the ABB ABB orion1-4-30-090-e 2TLA022303R0500 Safety Light Curtain?

The ABB ABB orion1-4-30-090-e 2TLA022303R0500 is an advanced Type 4 safety light curtain transmitter and receiver set designed for reliable hand detection around hazardous industrial machinery and automated equipment. Part of the ABB Orion1 Extended series, this model combines a 30 mm resolution with a 900 mm protected height, making it suitable for safeguarding machine openings where operators require regular access.

The Orion1-4-30-090-E establishes an optoelectronic protective field between its transmitter and receiver. Interruption of this field is detected by the safety system, allowing hazardous machine movement to be stopped in accordance with the overall safety design. Its 0.2–20 m operating range provides substantial flexibility when positioning the transmitter and receiver across machinery and production areas.

As an Orion1 Extended model, the light curtain offers advanced safeguarding functions including cascading, muting and blanking. It provides 48 optical beams, two protected semiconductor safety outputs and a 17 ms response time without beam coding, combining dependable personnel detection with flexible integration into modern industrial safety systems.

Reliable Hand Detection for Industrial Machinery

Safety light curtains provide non-contact personnel protection by creating an optical protective field around hazardous machinery. When a hand or another object of sufficient size interrupts the field, the safety outputs can signal the associated machine safety system, enabling hazardous motion to be stopped without requiring a permanent physical barrier across the access opening.

The ABB Orion1 Extended range is particularly suitable for machinery where repeated access is required and additional safeguarding functionality is beneficial. The Orion1-4-30-090-E combines 30 mm hand detection with advanced muting, blanking and cascading capabilities, allowing machine builders to develop flexible safety arrangements for automated and manually serviced machinery.

Typical Applications

• Machine access and hazardous-area guarding.
• Manually serviced production machinery.
• Automated assembly and manufacturing equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Robotic cells and automated production systems.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Horizontal area protection and work-zone limitation.
• Safety systems requiring muting, blanking or cascading functionality.
