Press Brake System

The system mounts on the upper beam of the brake to watch the downward movement of the punch, creating a safety volume below the die that is constantly monitored for intrusion. Output provides a signal to switch off the machine as soon as an intruding object is detected. It can be integrated into the machine's HMI, and is rated Category 4 in compliance with EN 954-1 and SIL 3, according to EN 61508.
