Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-120-B 2TLA022300R0700 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-120-B 2TLA022300R0700 is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed for finger detection and non-contact protection around hazardous industrial machinery. As part of the ABB Orion1 Base safety light curtain series, it combines a transmitter and receiver with a fine 14 mm resolution, making it suitable for applications where frequent operator access is required close to hazardous machine areas.
This Orion1 Base model provides a substantial 1200 mm protected height with 128 optical beams and an operating range of 0.2–6 m. Its 14 mm detection capability is specifically intended for finger protection, providing a dense protective field for point-of-operation safeguarding and other demanding machine safety applications.
With a response time of 36 ms, two PNP OSSD safety outputs and a Type 4 rating according to IEC 61496-1, the Orion1-4-14-120-B provides dependable detection for industrial safety systems. The light curtain operates from 24 V DC, uses M12 electrical connections and features an IP65 protection rating for use in industrial environments.

Reliable 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 the protective field, the OSSD safety outputs change state so that the machine safety control system can initiate the required safe response. This provides convenient machine access without requiring a physical guard to be opened during every operating cycle.
The Orion1 Base range is particularly suitable for machinery requiring repeated operator access. The 14 mm resolution of the 2TLA022300R0700 is intended for finger detection, while its 1200 mm protected height and 0.2–6 m operating range provide flexibility for safeguarding production machinery, manually serviced equipment and hazardous work zones.
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.
- Horizontal hazardous-area protection.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation safety systems.
