Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-015-B 2TLA022300R0000 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-015-B 2TLA022300R0000 is a Type 4 safety light curtain from the ABB Jokab Safety Orion1 Base range, supplied as a complete transmitter and receiver pair. Designed for optical safeguarding of hazardous machinery, it creates an invisible protective field that can detect intrusion without requiring a physical guard between the operator and monitored area.
This model provides 14 mm finger detection resolution across a 150 mm protected height, with 16 optical beams and an operating range of 0.2 to 6 m. Its fine resolution makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring detection of fingers close to hazardous machine movements or operating zones.
The Orion1 Base operates from a 24 V DC supply and provides two failsafe OSSD outputs for connection to a compatible machine safety control system. With IP65 protection, an approximately 11 ms response time and safety capability up to PL e, it provides dependable presence detection for industrial machinery and automated production equipment.
Key Advantages
- 14 mm resolution provides finger detection for close-proximity machine safeguarding.

Reliable Finger Detection for Hazardous Machine Areas
The Orion1 Base transmitter creates an array of infrared beams across the protected opening, which are continuously monitored by the corresponding receiver. When a finger or other object of sufficient size interrupts one or more beams, the receiver switches its dual OSSD safety outputs, enabling the connected safety control system to initiate the required machine stopping function.
With its 14 mm resolution and 11 ms response time, the Orion1-4-14-015-B is designed for applications where safeguarding must be positioned relatively close to a hazardous area while detecting finger access. Correct safety distance, mounting, electrical integration and validation must be determined according to the machine risk assessment and applicable safety standards.
Typical Applications
- Finger protection around hazardous machine openings.
- Automated assembly and production machinery.
- Presses and machine-tool access points.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Robotic and automated manufacturing cells.
- Material-handling machinery requiring non-contact access protection.
