Why Choose the ABB ABB orion2-4-k2-050-b 2TLA022304R0000 Safety Light Grid?
The ABB ABB orion2-4-k2-050-b 2TLA022304R0000 is a compact Type 4 safety light grid transmitter and receiver set designed for body detection and access protection around hazardous industrial machinery. Part of the ABB Orion2 Base series, this model uses 2 optical beams and provides a 500 mm protected height for dependable personnel safeguarding.
The Orion2-4-K2-050-B establishes an optoelectronic protective field between its transmitter and receiver. When a person interrupts the beams, the safety system can initiate the appropriate machine stopping function. With an operating distance of 0.5–50 m, the Orion2 Base is particularly well suited to access protection over long distances and installations where a large separation between transmitter and receiver is required.
Its long sensing range also makes the Orion2-4-K2-050-B suitable for use with deviating mirrors, enabling protective perimeters to be formed around hazardous areas. The compact design, Type 4 safety performance and dedicated body-detection configuration make it a practical solution for machine builders and industrial automation engineers requiring reliable access guarding.

Reliable Body Detection for Industrial Access Protection
Safety light grids provide non-contact access protection by creating multiple optical beams across an entrance to a hazardous area. When a person passes through the protected field and interrupts the beams, the safety outputs can signal the associated safety control system so that hazardous machine movement is stopped according to the overall machinery safety design.
The ABB Orion2 Base range is optimised for body detection over long distances. With a maximum operating distance of 50 m, the Orion2-4-K2-050-B can protect wide machine access points and can be combined with deviating mirrors to establish a protective perimeter around larger hazardous zones.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine access protection.
- Body detection at hazardous-area entrances.
- Robotic cells and automated production areas.
- Perimeter guarding around machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Large machine cells requiring long sensing distances.
- Protective installations using deviating mirrors.
