Reliable Machine Safety and Access Protection
Safety light curtains create an electro-sensitive protective field between a transmitter and receiver. When a hand or other object interrupts one or more of the monitored beams, the safety system can signal the associated machine safety controls so that hazardous movement is stopped or prevented from starting.
The ABB Orion1 Base range is designed for machinery where repeated access to hazardous areas is necessary, including manually serviced equipment. The 30 mm resolution of the Orion1-4-30-045-B provides hand detection, while its 450 mm protected height and long operating range make it suitable for a wide variety of industrial safeguarding layouts. Orion1 Base light curtains can also be installed horizontally to limit work zones or provide area protection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guarding and hazardous-zone protection.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Machine openings requiring regular operator access.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Horizontal area protection and work-zone limitation.
