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.

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

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

Both the base and extended models provide detection, local reset and external device monitoring (EDM), but the extended model also provides muting.
