Task

Bending of sheet metal of small or medium handling geometry:

flat-iron sections

box-shaped parts

using tools of different tool heights


Solution

The following optical safety light grid AKAS is located right at the bending level and prevents the trapping of a part of the body between the moving and fixed tools.
Transmitter and receiver are fixed to the ram of the machine and form a LASER-optical safety light grid that follows the ram. Therefore, the hands remain free for handling the slug during operation under continuous protection of the extremities during the whole bending process.
This will not interfere with the operating rhythm.

Function

The safety laser beams are located beneath the tool. Box-shaped parts and smallest workpieces can be hand-held during the bending process.

Tool Change Over
The motor driven transmitter and receiver are each mounted on supports. Their current position is detected by and optical synchronisation, therefore providing a quickautomated adjustment after each tool change-over.

The case-bending function provides bending of box-shaped items without stopping the bending procedure.
