Press Brake Guarding System
The IMG-100 imaging package provides the most advanced imaging technology developed exclusively for press brakes.
Designed for use with Lazer Safe’s PCSS (Press Control Safety System), the IMG-100 delivers unparalleled features to
enhance press brake performance.
Using digital camera technology the IMG-100 captures and processes images of the tools, material and bend angle. The images are then compared with information from the CNC via the PCSS communications link. This allows the system to perform functions such as tool recognition, material thickness checking and bend angle confi rmation.
Benefits
•Tool recognition compares the tool image with the CNC tool information and warns the operator if an incorrect tool set-up has been selected.
•Material recognition compares the material image with the CNC material information and warns the operator if an incorrect material thickness has been selected.
•The angle confi rmation function checks and compares the bend angle.
•Automatic bend correction can be performed via the CNC controller.
•Reduces time taken to check accuracy of product resulting in increased productivity.
•Eliminates the risk of tool damage or operator injury by warning the operator of incorrect tool or material selection.
•Operates with Lazer Safe’s LZS-005 guarding system to provide the most advanced operator safety available while enhancing machine productivity.
