Why Choose the ABB Orion1-4-30-180-B Safety Light Curtain?
The ABB Orion1-4-30-180-B (2TLA022302R1100) 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 hazardous machine areas.
With a 30 mm resolution, extensive 1800 mm protected height and long operating range of 0.2–19 m, the Orion1-4-30-180-B is particularly well suited to large machine openings and work areas. Its optical system incorporates 96 beams and provides a 28 ms response time, enabling a correctly designed safety system to react when the protective field is interrupted.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the Orion1 Base provides two protected semiconductor safety outputs for integration with compatible machine safety controllers. Its compact aluminium construction, IP65 protection rating and substantial sensing range make it a versatile solution for vertical machine access protection as well as horizontal area safeguarding.

Reliable Hand Detection and Machine Safeguarding
The ABB Orion1-4-30-180-B creates an optical protective field between its transmitter and receiver. When a hand or another sufficiently large object interrupts this field, the protected semiconductor outputs allow a correctly designed machine safety system to initiate the required safe response without relying solely on a physical guard to restrict access.
Its 30 mm resolution is designed for hand detection, while the substantial 1800 mm protected height and 19 m maximum operating range make this model particularly suitable for large machinery and tall access points. Orion1 Base light curtains can also be mounted horizontally to define protected work zones inside hazardous areas.
Typical Applications
- Hand protection around hazardous machine areas.
- Tall machine loading and unloading openings.
- 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.
