Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-060-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-060-B (2TLA022300R0300) is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed for finger detection and contact-free safeguarding of hazardous areas around industrial machinery. As part of the ABB Orion1 Base range, it combines a transmitter and receiver with fine-resolution optical detection for applications where operators require frequent access close to hazardous machine zones.
With a fine 14 mm resolution, 600 mm protected height and operating range of 0.2–6 m, the Orion1-4-14-060-B provides reliable finger detection across a substantial protected field. Its optical system incorporates 64 beams and provides a 22 ms response time, allowing a correctly designed machine safety system to react rapidly when the protective field is interrupted.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Orion1 Base provides two failsafe OSSD outputs for integration with compatible safety controllers and machine safety circuits. Its compact housing, IP65 protection rating and complete transmitter-and-receiver configuration make it suitable for demanding industrial safeguarding installations.

Reliable Contact-Free Machine Safeguarding
Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1-4-14-060-B create an optical protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a finger or other object interrupts the protected field, the failsafe OSSD outputs change state so that a correctly designed safety control system can initiate the required safe machine response without relying on a physical guard.
The Orion1 Base range is particularly suitable for machinery where repeated operator access is necessary. Its fine 14 mm resolution supports finger protection close to hazardous zones, while the 600 mm protected height provides extensive optical coverage for access points, work zones and manually serviced machinery.
Typical Applications
- Finger protection around hazardous machine areas.
- Machine loading and unloading points.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Robotic and automated production cells.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Industrial work-zone and access protection.
