ABB - Optimal machine safety with Orion2 Base light curtains
In industrial environments where machines are worked with, everything on and at the machine must be shielded as much as possible to ensure the safety of the user. That first-class safety does not have to come at the expense of production capabilities, ABB proves with a wide range of machine safety solutions. The Orion2 Base light curtains are a good example. With them, openings for machine access or material feed can be optimally secured.
Light curtain for body detection
ABB's Orion light curtains are specially designed to increase workplace safety by stopping machines when a person enters a hazardous area. This prevents potentially dangerous situations and protects workers from injury. In addition to light curtains for finger and hand detection, the Orion2 Base is specially designed for body detection. This model is ideal for securing larger work areas and offers a robust solution for demanding industrial environments.
Different versions
The Orion2 Base light curtain comes in versions with 2, 3 or 4 light beams for a protected height of 500 to 1200 mm. The working distance between the transmitter and receiver units is as much as 50 meters. Thus, the light curtain provides a solution for a variety of machine safety needs. The light curtain is even suitable for applications with mirrors to angle the beams.
Quick to install
The Orion2 Base comes with M12 connectors that speed up the wiring process. Protection tubes and lens shields provide additional protection for the equipment in harsh conditions. In addition, alignment aids and swivel brackets simplify correct positioning and alignment of the light curtain.
A local reset button can be connected directly to the light screen. This eliminates the need for additional cables between the reset button and the control box. A simple safety relay is sufficient for monitoring the light curtain.
