Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-045-E 2TLA022303R0200 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-30-045-E 2TLA022303R0200 is an advanced Type 4 safety light curtain designed for hand detection and non-contact protection around hazardous industrial machinery. Part of the ABB Orion1 Extended range, it combines a transmitter and receiver with a 30 mm resolution, providing reliable optical safeguarding where operators require frequent access to machinery.
This Orion1 Extended model provides a 450 mm protected height and an impressive operating range of 0.2–20 m. Its 30 mm resolution is intended for hand detection, making the light curtain suitable for point-of-operation protection, machine openings and other hazardous areas where dependable non-contact detection is required.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Orion1-4-30-045-E provides two failsafe OSSD outputs and an IP65 protection rating. The Extended series also offers advanced functionality including cascading, muting, blanking and coding, giving machine builders and automation engineers greater flexibility when designing demanding industrial safety systems.

Advanced Hand Detection for Industrial Machine Safety
Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1 create an optical protective field between a transmitter and receiver. If a hand, arm or other sufficiently large object interrupts this field, the failsafe OSSD outputs can signal the connected machine safety system to initiate the required safe response. This allows frequent access to machinery without requiring a physical guard to be opened and closed during every operating cycle.
The Orion1 Extended series adds functionality for more demanding safety installations. Cascading enables compatible light curtains to be incorporated into larger protective arrangements, while muting and blanking support applications where materials must pass through the protective field or where specific areas require controlled suppression. Coding can also help when multiple light curtains are installed close together.
Typical Applications
- Hand detection around hazardous industrial machinery.
- Point-of-operation machine protection.
- 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.
