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 safety system can initiate the required machine safety response. This allows operators to access machinery frequently without needing to open and close a physical guard during every operating cycle.
The Orion1 Extended series provides additional flexibility for complex machine safety installations. Cascading enables compatible light curtains to be incorporated into more extensive protective arrangements, while muting, blanking, beam coding and reduced resolution functions support applications involving material movement, intentional field obstructions and multiple optical safety devices.
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 stations.
- Applications requiring muting, blanking or cascading.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation safety systems.
