Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-150-B Safety Light Curtain?

The ABB Orion1-4-30-150-B is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed for personnel safeguarding around hazardous industrial machinery and automated equipment. Part of the ABB Orion1 Base series, it is supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair and provides reliable hand detection for applications where frequent access to machinery is required.

With a 30 mm detection resolution and substantial 1500 mm protected height, the Orion1-4-30-150-B provides extensive hand-protection coverage across large machine openings and hazardous work areas. Its wide 0.2–19 m operating range allows flexible positioning of the transmitter and receiver across machinery, production lines and automated installations.

The Orion1 Base platform combines straightforward operation with compact dimensions for convenient machine integration. This model uses 80 optical beams across its protected height and provides a 25 ms response time, making it a dependable electro-sensitive safeguarding solution for vertical machine guarding as well as horizontal area protection.

Reliable Machine Safety and Access Protection

Safety light curtains create an electro-sensitive protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a hand or other object interrupts one or more of the monitored beams, the safety outputs can signal the associated machine safety control system so that hazardous movement is stopped or prevented from starting.

The ABB Orion1 Base range is designed for applications where repeated access to machinery is necessary, including manually serviced machines. The 30 mm resolution of the Orion1-4-30-150-B provides hand detection, while its 1500 mm protected height and long 19 m maximum operating range make it particularly suitable for larger machine openings. Orion1 Base light curtains can also be mounted horizontally to provide area protection or limit work zones within hazardous areas.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machine guarding and hazardous-zone protection.
• Large machine openings requiring hand detection.
• Automated production and assembly machinery.
• Packaging and processing equipment.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Manually serviced production machinery.
• Horizontal area protection and work-zone limitation.
