Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-045-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-045-B (2TLA022300R0200) is a Type 4 safety light curtain designed for finger detection and access protection around hazardous industrial machinery. As part of the ABB Orion1 Base range, it is supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair and provides contact-free safeguarding where operators require frequent access to a machine or hazardous work area.
With a fine 14 mm resolution, 450 mm protected height and operating range of 0.2–6 m, the Orion1-4-14-045-B is designed to detect fingers entering the protected field. Its 48-beam optical arrangement provides an 18 ms response time, helping safety systems react rapidly when the protective field is interrupted.
The Orion1 Base combines compact construction with dual PNP OSSD safety outputs, M12 connectivity and an IP65 protection rating. Integrated restart interlock and external device monitoring functionality support practical machine safety installations, while the Type 4 architecture makes the light curtain suitable for high-performance safety applications when correctly integrated into the complete safety system.

Reliable Contact-Free Machine Safeguarding
Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1-4-14-045-B create an optical protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a finger or other object interrupts this field, the OSSD safety outputs change state so that a correctly designed safety control system can initiate the required safe machine response without requiring a physical guard to be opened.
The Orion1 Base is particularly suited to machinery requiring repeated operator access to hazardous areas. Its fine 14 mm resolution allows installation relatively close to hazardous zones for finger protection, while its compact profile, M12 connections and integrated monitoring functions simplify incorporation into industrial machine safety systems.
Typical Applications
- Finger protection around hazardous machine areas.
- Machine loading and unloading points.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Robotic and automated production cells.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Industrial work-zone and access protection.
