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. If a person's body interrupts the protective field, the safety system can signal the connected machine controls to initiate the required safe response. This makes the Orion2 particularly suitable for safeguarding entrances and perimeter access points where finger or hand detection is not required.
The Orion2 Extended range is specifically 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 materials travel through a safeguarded opening on a conveyor, while the overall safety system remains designed to detect unauthorised personnel access.
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.
