Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-14-180-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-14-180-B (2TLA022300R1100) 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 is supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair and provides a large optical protective field for machinery where frequent operator access is required.
With a fine 14 mm resolution, an extensive 1800 mm protected height and an operating range of 0.2–6 m, the Orion1-4-14-180-B provides reliable finger detection across tall machine openings and work areas. Its optical system incorporates 192 beams and provides a 50 ms response time, allowing a correctly designed safety system to respond when the protective field is interrupted.
The Orion1 Base is designed for straightforward integration into industrial machine safety systems and is particularly suitable for hazardous-zone access control, manually serviced machinery and work-zone protection. Its compact profile, IP65 protection and safety-rated OSSD outputs provide a practical safeguarding solution for demanding automated and manufacturing environments.

Reliable Contact-Free Machine Safeguarding
Safety light curtains such as the ABB Orion1-4-14-180-B create an optical protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a finger or other object interrupts this field, the failsafe OSSD 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 suitable for machinery requiring repeated operator access close to hazardous zones. The fine 14 mm resolution provides finger detection, while the substantial 1800 mm protected height makes this model especially useful for tall machine openings, vertical access protection and large industrial work areas.
Typical Applications
- Finger protection around hazardous machine areas.
- Tall 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 systems.
- Hazardous-zone access and work-area protection.
