Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-060-E 2TLA022303R0300 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-30-060-E 2TLA022303R0300 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 close to hazardous machine areas.
This Orion1 Extended model provides a 600 mm protected height using 32 optical beams and offers an operating range of 0.2–20 m. Its 30 mm resolution is intended for hand detection, making it suitable for point-of-operation protection, machine openings and other hazardous areas where dependable non-contact detection is required.
The Orion1-4-30-060-E has a specified response time of 15 ms without beam coding and incorporates the advanced functionality associated with the Orion1 Extended series, including cascading, muting and blanking. Its compact construction and long operating range give machine builders and automation engineers considerable flexibility when designing 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 safety system can initiate the required safe response through the connected machine safety controls. This enables 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 safety light curtains to form larger protective arrangements, while muting and blanking support applications where materials need to pass through the protective field or where specific portions of the field require controlled suppression. Beam coding can also help minimise optical interference where 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.
