Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-030-E 2TLA022301R0100 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-030-E 2TLA022301R0100 is an advanced Type 4 safety light curtain designed for finger detection and non-contact protection around hazardous industrial machinery. As part of the ABB Orion1 Extended safety light curtain series, it combines a transmitter and receiver with a fine 14 mm resolution and advanced safety functions for demanding machine guarding applications.
This Orion1 Extended model provides a 300 mm protected height and an operating range of 0.2–7 m. Its 14 mm resolution is designed for finger detection, making it particularly suitable for point-of-operation safeguarding where operators require frequent access close to hazardous machine areas.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Orion1-4-14-030-E provides two failsafe PNP OSSD semiconductor outputs and an IP65 protection rating. Extended-series functionality includes cascading, muting, blanking, beam coding, restart interlock and external device monitoring, providing machine builders with a versatile solution for sophisticated industrial safety systems.

Advanced Non-Contact Protection for Industrial Machinery
Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1 create an optical protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a finger, hand or other object interrupts this field, the OSSD safety outputs change state so that the connected machine safety system can initiate the required safe response. This provides convenient access to machinery without requiring a physical guard to be opened during every operating cycle.
The Orion1 Extended series adds functionality for more demanding applications. Cascading enables multiple light curtains to be connected within a safety installation, while muting and blanking provide additional flexibility for applications involving material movement or intentionally obstructed parts of the protective field. Beam coding also assists installations where multiple optical safety devices are positioned close together.
Typical Applications
- Point-of-operation protection on industrial machinery.
- Finger detection around hazardous machine areas.
- Production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Automated manufacturing cells.
- Machine loading and unloading areas.
- Applications requiring muting, blanking or cascading.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation safety systems.
