Why Choose the ABB Orion2-4-K4-090-B Safety Light Grid?
The ABB Orion2-4-K4-090-B is a compact Type 4 safety light grid designed for access protection and body detection around hazardous industrial machinery and automated areas. Part of the ABB Orion2 Base series, it is supplied as a transmitter and receiver pair and uses four optical beams to create a protective field across machine access points.
With a 900 mm protected height and a long 0.5–50 m operating range, the Orion2-4-K4-090-B provides considerable flexibility when safeguarding entrances and larger machine areas. The long sensing distance also makes the light grid suitable for installations using deviating mirrors where access protection needs to extend around multiple sides of a hazardous zone.
Designed specifically for body detection, the Orion2 Base provides a practical alternative to physical guarding where regular personnel access is necessary. Its 24 V DC supply, dual failsafe OSSD outputs and IP65 enclosure support straightforward integration into industrial machine safety systems.

Reliable Access and Perimeter Protection
The ABB Orion2-4-K4-090-B creates an electro-sensitive protective field between its transmitter and receiver using four optical beams. If a person passes through the protected field, one or more beams are interrupted and the dual OSSD safety outputs can signal the associated safety control system so that hazardous machine movement is stopped or prevented from starting.
Unlike fine-resolution safety light curtains intended for finger or hand detection, the Orion2 Base is designed for body detection and access protection. Its 50 m maximum operating distance makes it particularly useful for wide machine entrances and perimeter safeguarding, while also providing the range required for configurations incorporating deviating mirrors around hazardous areas.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine access protection.
- Hazardous-area perimeter safeguarding.
- Robot cells and automated manufacturing areas.
- Large machine entrances and access points.
- Conveyor and material handling installations.
- Automated production and assembly systems.
- Multi-sided safeguarding installations using deviating mirrors.
