Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-105-E Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-30-105-E is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed for personnel safeguarding around hazardous industrial machinery and automated equipment. Part of the advanced ABB Orion1 Extended series, it is supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair and combines reliable hand detection with flexible safety functions for demanding machine applications.
With a 30 mm detection resolution and 1050 mm protected height, the Orion1-4-30-105-E is designed for hand protection across machine openings and hazardous work areas. Its wide 0.2–20 m operating range provides considerable flexibility when positioning the transmitter and receiver around production machinery, conveyors and automated systems.
The Orion1 Extended platform provides advanced functions including cascading, muting and blanking, making it particularly suitable for sophisticated automation applications. The Orion1-4-30-105-E uses 56 optical beams and provides an 18 ms response time without beam coding, combining effective detection with fast safety-system response.

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 one or more of the monitored beams, the safety outputs can signal the associated machine safety control system so that hazardous movement is stopped or prevented from starting.
The ABB Orion1 Extended range is particularly suitable for machines requiring repeated access to hazardous areas. The 30 mm resolution of the Orion1-4-30-105-E provides hand detection, while its 1050 mm protected height, long operating range and advanced muting, blanking and cascading functions provide the flexibility required for modern automated production and material-handling installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guarding and hazardous-zone protection.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Robot cells and automated workstations.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Machines requiring frequent operator loading or unloading.
- Production lines requiring muting, blanking or cascading functionality.
