Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-075-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-30-075-B (2TLA022302R0400) 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, 750 mm protected height and extensive operating range of 0.2–19 m, the Orion1-4-30-075-B provides flexible hand protection across a wide variety of machine layouts. Its optical system incorporates 40 beams and provides a 16 ms response time, enabling a correctly designed safety system to react rapidly when the protective field is interrupted.
The Orion1 Base provides two secure PNP OSSD semiconductor outputs, M12 connectivity, restart interlock and external device monitoring functionality for integration into industrial machine safety systems. Its compact construction and IP65 protection rating make it suitable for machine openings, manually serviced equipment and horizontal area-protection installations.

Reliable Hand Detection and Machine Safeguarding
The ABB Orion1-4-30-075-B creates an optical protective field between its transmitter and receiver. When a hand or other sufficiently large object interrupts this field, the OSSD safety outputs change state so that a correctly designed safety control system can initiate the required safe machine response without requiring a physical guard to be opened during every production cycle.
Its 30 mm resolution is designed 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 close to hazardous zones where repeated machine access is necessary and can also be mounted horizontally to help protect 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.
