Therefore, they are considered more production friendly than other safety devices. ABB’s broad range of optical safety devices includes light curtains, light grids and single beam. 

With a wide selection of models, the Orion series offers a light guard model for every need. From basic models with no more functions or settings than necessary to advanced models with extensive functionality to suit even the most demanding applications.They are designed to make your machine safety system easy to build.
