Autonomous Guarding for Press Brakes
Fully automated setup, adjustment and configuration of the safety and guarding system.
A press brake with an automated safety and guarding solution eliminates the need for manual adjustments to be performed by the operator by automatically driving the optical components to the correct position, then automatically making any necessary adjustments based on the tooling that had been installed. In addition, secondary processes automatically check and confirm the positioning and setup, thereby ensuring that the machine is always safe to operate.
Level 2 Autonomous Guarding
All the safety and guarding setup, adjustments and operating functions are completely automated. This presents the ideal solution where the operator turns on the machine, installs the tooling and starts bending parts, without have to setup, adjust, or check any of the safety and guarding functions.
Level 3 Autonomous Guarding
Streamlined configuration of the bend program eliminates or minimises interference with the guarding zone, which results in fewer pedal presses, no unnecessary stops during the bend cycle and significantly more time in high-speed, resulting in faster and more efficient production.
Level 3 automation introduces a new process where the safety and guarding system in collaboration with the CNC system, share information to automatically learn the part profile and determine the optimal modes and settings for each step of the bend program. This takes the manual process and decision making out of the operator’s hands, saving time, and ensuring that bend programs are always optimised for maximum bending efficiency.
The range of Lazer Safe OEM embedded safety and guarding solutions support Level 2 and Level 3 Autonomous Guarding.
