Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-165-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-165-B (2TLA022300R1000) is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed for finger detection and contact-free safeguarding around hazardous industrial machinery. As part of the ABB Orion1 Base range, it combines a transmitter and receiver with fine-resolution optical detection for applications where operators require frequent access close to hazardous machine areas.
With a fine 14 mm resolution, an extensive 1650 mm protected height and an operating range of 0.2–6 m, the Orion1-4-14-165-B provides reliable finger detection across large machine openings. Its optical system incorporates 176 beams and provides a 47 ms response time, enabling a correctly designed machine safety system to respond when the protective field is interrupted.
The Orion1 Base features two OSSD safety outputs, restart interlock functionality and external device monitoring for integration into industrial safety circuits. Its IP65 protection rating and complete transmitter-and-receiver configuration make the Orion1-4-14-165-B particularly suitable for safeguarding tall machine openings, production equipment and automated work areas.

Reliable Contact-Free Machine Safeguarding
Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1-4-14-165-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 relying on a physical guard.
The Orion1 Base range is particularly suited to machinery requiring repeated operator access to hazardous areas. The fine 14 mm resolution supports finger protection close to hazardous zones, while the substantial 1650 mm protected height enables this model to safeguard large vertical machine openings and work areas.
Typical Applications
- Finger protection around hazardous machine areas.
- Large machine loading and unloading openings.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Robotic and automated production cells.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Vertical access and work-zone protection.
