Why Choose the ABB Orion2-4-K4-090-E 2TLA022305R0200 Safety Light Grid?
The ABB Orion2-4-K4-090-E 2TLA022305R0200 is an advanced Type 4 safety light grid designed for body detection and access protection around hazardous industrial machinery. Part of the ABB Orion2 Extended range, it combines a transmitter and receiver with 4 optical beams, providing reliable non-contact safeguarding for machine entrances and other hazardous access points.
This Orion2 Extended model provides a 900 mm protected height, with an inter-axis distance of 300 mm and an operating range of 0.5–50 m. Its four-beam configuration is intended for body detection rather than finger or hand detection, making it particularly suitable for perimeter and access protection applications where personnel must be detected before entering a hazardous area.
With a specified 16 ms response time, Type 4 classification and integrated muting functionality, the Orion2-4-K4-090-E provides dependable protection for demanding automated installations. Its long sensing distance, compact construction and two-side connection capability make it particularly well suited to access protection in material handling and muting applications.

Body Detection and Access Protection for Industrial Machinery
Safety light grids such as the ABB Orion2 create multiple optical beams between a transmitter and receiver to monitor access to hazardous areas. When a person's body interrupts one or more of these beams, the protected OSSD outputs can signal the connected machine safety system to initiate the required safe response. This makes the Orion2 particularly suitable for safeguarding entrances and perimeter access points where finger or hand resolution is not required.
The Orion2 Extended range is particularly suited to access protection in muting applications. Muting allows the protective function to be temporarily and automatically bypassed under defined safety conditions, such as when authorised material passes through a guarded opening on a conveyor, while maintaining personnel protection as part of a correctly designed safety system.
Typical Applications
- Body detection at hazardous machinery access points.
- Perimeter protection around automated machinery.
- Conveyor entry and exit safeguarding.
- Palletising and depalletising systems.
- Robotic and automated manufacturing cells.
- Material handling systems requiring muting.
- Production-line access protection.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation safety systems.
