Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-105-E Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-105-E is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed to protect personnel working around hazardous industrial machinery and automated equipment. Part of the ABB Orion1 Extended series, this complete transmitter and receiver set provides reliable finger detection while allowing frequent access to safeguarded machine areas without the need for physical guards.
With a fine 14 mm detection resolution, the Orion1-4-14-105-E is designed for finger protection applications. It provides a substantial 1050 mm protected height and an operating range of 0.2–7 m, making it suitable for safeguarding machine openings, workstations and production equipment where operators require regular access to the process.
The Orion1 Extended platform combines compact construction with advanced safeguarding functions including muting, blanking and cascading. These capabilities make the light curtain particularly useful in automated production environments where materials may need to pass through a protected area while maintaining effective personnel protection.

Reliable Machine Safety and Access Protection
Safety light curtains create an electro-sensitive protective field between a transmitter and receiver. If a person interrupts one or more of the monitored beams, the safety system can signal the associated machine control system so that hazardous movement is stopped or prevented from starting.
The ABB Orion1 Extended range is particularly suited to machinery requiring repeated operator access. The 14 mm resolution of the Orion1-4-14-105-E enables finger detection, while its 1050 mm protected height provides extensive coverage and its muting, blanking and cascading capabilities support sophisticated 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 or blanking functionality.
