Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-135-B 2TLA022300R0800 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-135-B 2TLA022300R0800 is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the ABB Jokab Safety Orion1 Base range, supplied as a complete transmitter and receiver pair. Designed for non-contact safeguarding of hazardous machinery, it creates an optical protective field that detects access to dangerous areas while allowing efficient interaction with the machine.
This model provides a fine 14 mm finger detection resolution across a substantial 1350 mm protected height. Its 144 optical beams and operating range of 0.2 to 6 m make it suitable for protecting larger machine openings where reliable finger detection and frequent operator access are required.
The Orion1-4-14-135-B has a specified 40 ms response time and Type 4 safety architecture for demanding industrial safeguarding applications. Its tall protective field, compact profile and straightforward transmitter-receiver configuration make it a practical choice for machine builders, automation engineers and system integrators requiring high-level optical protection.
Key Advantages
- 14 mm resolution provides sensitive finger detection for close-proximity machine safeguarding.
- Large 1350 mm protected height provides extensive coverage of machine openings and access points.
- 144 optical beams create a closely spaced protective field across the full protected height.
- Wide 0.2 to 6 m operating range provides flexible transmitter-to-receiver positioning.
- Type 4 safety light curtain designed for demanding industrial machine safety applications.
- Non-contact protection supports frequent operator access without requiring a physical guard across the monitored opening.
- Supplied as a complete transmitter and receiver set for straightforward specification.

Reliable Finger Detection Across Large Machine Openings
The Orion1 Base transmitter projects an array of optical beams towards the corresponding receiver, creating a continuously monitored protective field across the hazardous opening. When a finger or another object meeting the 14 mm detection resolution interrupts the field, the safety light curtain changes its safety output state so that the connected machine safety system can initiate the required protective response.
With 144 beams covering a 1350 mm protected height, the Orion1-4-14-135-B is particularly useful where a comparatively tall machine opening requires fine finger detection. Its non-contact design enables frequent access without manually opening a physical guard, while correct safety distance, positioning and integration must be determined from the machine risk assessment, stopping performance and applicable safety standards.
Typical Applications
- Finger protection across large hazardous machine openings.
- Automated assembly and production machinery.
- Robotic and automated manufacturing cells.
- Presses, machine tools and operator access points.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production areas requiring frequent non-contact access protection.
