Orion3 Base is the new active optoelectronic protective device (AOPD) that acts as a light grid 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. Orion3 specializes in body detection. The difference to the other Orion variants is that Orion3 reduces the amount of cabling even further. Only one active unit needs to be connected because the beams from the transmitter/receiver are reflected by the passive unit. The LEDs on the transmitter/receiver display help users to control and check the AOPD status. The display also provides information about the set configuration. This reduces complexity and saves time. M12 connectors guarantee quick connection and the wide range of accessories enables quick and easy installation.
