The Orion1 light curtains from ABB are supplied with a transmitter and receiver. They can be installed close to a dangerous machine and are designed for finger or hand detection. The Orion1 is available in two options, a base model and an extended model.
Features and Benefits
No more functions or settings than necessary A local reset button can be connected directly to the light curtain: no need for cable between the reset button and the electrical cabinet or for an extra control module. Each light curtain can monitor the actuators without any extra control module (EDM function) Alignment help and a wide angle within the limits of a Type 4 device facilitate alignment Rotation brackets simplify alignment too M12 connectors speed up cabling The alignment level being displayed, the alignment can be improved before the occurrence of the unwanted stop Extensive error indication reduces troubleshooting time Protective tubes and lens shields protect the devices in harsh environments Muting sensors are connected directly to the extended model, with no need for a remote extra muting module 6 m and 19 m operating distances (finger and hand detection) Compact dimensions
Applications
Finger and hand detection When the light guard is required to be close to the hazardous zone When repeated access to the machine is necessary, manually serviced machines for example For area protection (horizontal mounting) and limitation of work zones
Note
Both the base and extended models provide detection, local reset and external device monitoring (EDM), but the extended model also provides muting.
