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 applications where repeated access to machinery is necessary, including manually serviced machines. The 30 mm resolution of the Orion1-4-30-165-B provides hand detection, while its 1650 mm protected height and long 19 m maximum operating range make it particularly suitable for larger machine openings. Orion1 Base light curtains can also be installed horizontally to limit work zones or provide area protection within hazardous areas.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine guarding and hazardous-zone protection.
- Large machine openings requiring hand detection.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Manually serviced production machinery.
- Horizontal area protection and work-zone limitation.
