Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-060-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-30-060-B (2TLA022302R0300) is a high-performance Type 4 safety light curtain designed for hand 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 reliable optical protection where operators require frequent access to machine work areas.
With a 30 mm resolution, 600 mm protected height and extensive operating range of 0.2–19 m, the Orion1-4-30-060-B is designed for hand detection across a wide variety of machine layouts. Its optical system incorporates 32 beams and provides a fast 14 ms response time, enabling a correctly designed safety system to react rapidly when the protective field is interrupted.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Orion1 Base provides safety-rated outputs for integration with compatible machine safety controllers. Its compact construction, Type 4 safety classification and long sensing range make it suitable for machine openings, manually serviced equipment and horizontal area-protection installations.

Reliable Hand Detection and Machine Safeguarding
The ABB Orion1-4-30-060-B creates an optical protective field between its transmitter and receiver. When a hand or other sufficiently large object interrupts this field, the safety system can initiate the required safe machine response, providing contact-free access protection without requiring operators to open and close a physical guard during every production cycle.
Its 30 mm resolution is optimised for hand detection, while the generous 19 m maximum operating range provides considerable flexibility when positioning the transmitter and receiver. Orion1 Base light curtains can be installed vertically at machine access points or horizontally to help define protected work areas within hazardous zones.
Typical Applications
- Hand protection around hazardous machine areas.
- Machine loading and unloading points.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Robotic and automated production cells.
- Material handling and conveyor equipment.
- Horizontal work-zone and area protection.
