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 the monitored beams, the safety outputs can signal the associated safety control system so that hazardous machine movement is stopped or prevented from starting.
The ABB Orion1 Base range is designed for applications where repeated access to machinery is required. The 30 mm resolution of the Orion1-4-30-030-B provides hand detection, while its 19 m maximum operating range, compact construction and ability to be installed horizontally for area protection provide flexibility across a wide variety of industrial safeguarding applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guarding and hazardous-zone protection.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Machine openings requiring regular operator access.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Horizontal area protection and work-zone limitation.
