All-electric press brake, direct drive.

Designed with redundant circuits and real-time failure detection monitoring, the safeguarding features automatically detect mute point close operation proximity, while increasing productivity by allowing tools to close at higher speeds.

The Proguard Optical Safety System incorporates a continuous dual-beam laser field around the punch tip. If an obstruction is detected, the machine stops automatically. This close proximity protection allows the operator access to the point of operation for increased productivity and unlike traditional light curtains, reduces operator fatigue by eliminating the need to continually move in and out of the operating area.

The three-position operator foot switch is comprised of a top beam return pedal, top beam descent pedal, and an emergency stop button. The top beam descent pedal controls three positions: the first position is stationary, the second commands the descent of the ram, and the third postion stops the upper beam during descent. The three-position foot pedal reduces the risk of the operator getting hands pinched between the punch and die.

The machine is equipped with safety-interlocked guarding on the sides and rear of the machine. The interlocked guards will prevent the machine from operating when any door is engaged.
