Why Choose the ABB ABB orion1-4-14-180-e 2TLA022301R1100 Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB ABB orion1-4-14-180-e 2TLA022301R1100 is an extended Type 4 safety light curtain transmitter and receiver set designed to provide reliable optoelectronic guarding for hazardous machinery and automated production equipment. Part of the ABB Orion1 Extended series, this model combines a fine 14 mm resolution with a substantial 1800 mm protected height, making it particularly suitable for finger detection across large machine access areas.
The Orion1-4-14-180-E creates a protective field between its transmitter and receiver and can be integrated into machine safety systems to detect interruption of that field. It provides a sensing range of 0.2–7 m and incorporates two failsafe OSSD safety outputs for connection to appropriate safety control equipment. Its Type 4 design supports demanding machinery safety applications requiring a high level of risk reduction.
Designed for industrial environments, the unit operates from a 24 V DC supply and has an IP65 degree of protection. The complete transmitter and receiver assembly measures approximately 1810 mm high, 70 mm wide and 41 mm deep, providing extensive vertical guarding while retaining a compact profile for installation around machinery.

Reliable Optoelectronic Protection for Industrial Machinery
Safety light curtains provide non-contact guarding by establishing an optical protective field around hazardous machine areas. When an object interrupts the field, the safety outputs can signal the associated machine safety control system so that hazardous motion can be stopped in accordance with the machine's safety design.
The ABB Orion1 Extended range is designed for industrial machine safety installations where reliable detection and straightforward integration are essential. With its fine 14 mm resolution, the Orion1-4-14-180-E is intended for finger detection, while its 1800 mm protective field makes it well suited to guarding larger openings and access areas.
Typical Applications
- Machine access and hazardous-area guarding.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and automated handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Industrial machinery requiring finger-detection safety guarding.
