Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-150-E 2TLA022301R0900 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-150-E 2TLA022301R0900 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 1500 mm protected height and an operating range of 0.2–7 m. Its 14 mm resolution is specifically designed for finger detection, making the light curtain suitable for point-of-operation safeguarding and other applications where precise detection close to machinery is required.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Orion1-4-14-150-E provides two failsafe OSSD outputs and an IP65 protection rating. The Extended series also incorporates advanced functionality including cascading, muting and blanking, giving machine builders and automation engineers 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 failsafe OSSD outputs can signal the machine safety control system to initiate the required safe response. This allows operators to access machinery frequently without opening and closing a physical guard during every operating cycle.
The Orion1 Extended series provides additional flexibility for more complex machine safety installations. Cascading allows compatible light curtains to be combined within a safety system, while muting and blanking functions support applications where materials must pass through the protective field or where specific parts of the field require controlled suppression.
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.
