Orion1 Extended is the new active optoelectronic protective device (AOPD) that acts as a light curtain to secure work areas and creates a protective field with infrared rays. This can protect people from a dangerous machine, robot or other automated system that has access to a hazardous area. As soon as a beam is interrupted, a stop command is triggered and the dangerous movement is stopped. All Extended versions have an integrated muting and blanking function. The muting function reduces complexity because objects can pass through the light curtain, while a stop command is triggered when people are detected. The blanking function allows an object to remain permanently in the detection zone, but a finger or hand can stop the machine. Orion1 specializes in detection at 14 mm and 30 mm resolution. The LEDs on the transmitter/receiver display help to check the AOPD status and the integrated muting light reduces the amount of cabling required. The display also provides information about the configuration set. This reduces complexity and saves time. M12 connectors guarantee quick connection and the wide range of accessories enables quick and easy installation.
