    The Lazer Safe LZS-004 operator guard system for press brakes offers fast reaction times of 1ms plus 4ms maximum to stop the press brake when an obstruction is detected by the laser transmitter/receiver. It enhances productivity by allowing the press brake to operate at high speed for longer and reducing the distance needed to slow down. The system automatically measures stopping performance and sets safety distances as low as 4mm between the laser and tool. When an obstruction is detected, it can either stop the press or continue at a slow speed, depending on user input. It integrates with the PCSS press brake controller for improved coordination of safety and productivity.

    THE WORLD’S LEADER IN PRESS BRAKE CONTROL, SAFETY & GUARDING

    Lazer Safe LZS-004


    Operator Guard for PCSS Series Controllers
    The Lazer Safe LZS-004 operator guard for PCSS Series hydraulic press brake controllers offers a highly
    effective solution for both operator safety and machine productivity. The LZS-004 has been designed
    exclusively for use with the PCSS-F Series press brake controller and is capable of performing a diverse
    range of actions automatically. The LZS-004 system includes a Guard Counter Module and laser
    Transmitter / Receiver pair.
    The LZS-004 can be installed either at manufacture or retrofit in the field.

    Key features
     Extremely fast response time (1 ms + 4 ms maximum) reduces the stopping distance of the press
    brake, enabling the laser-to-punch distance to be reduced.
     Start-up tests on first stroke to measure stop time and stop distance.
     Checking for mute point based on tool information from the Numerical Controller, only stopping if it
    is incorrect.
     Checking that material surface is within limits and bending speed is correct on each normal stroke,
    then continuing without interruption if all are correct.
     When an obstruction is detected, the beam is stopped. When the obstruction is removed, one press
    of the foot pedal continues the normal stroke cycle. If the obstruction is not removed, two foot pedal
    presses will initiate a safe slow speed closure and bending without stopping. For situations where
    the obstruction is intentional, a higher mute point can be set in the Numerical Controller.
     "Tray / Box" mode allows operation when the side walls of the work-piece obstruct the laser beam.
    The height of the walls can be programmed in the Numerical Controller, allowing automatic
    monitoring and continuous operation.
     Once the tool opening is less than 6 mm, a pressing speed of 20 mm / sec is possible.
     "Field Muted" and "Stop at Mute Point" modes are also available.
     Laser-to-Punch distance can be programmed by software and can be used to check distances.
     High and low speed versions available.

    The productivity advantages


    When used in conjunction with the PCSS Series of controllers, the LZS-004 Operator Guarding system
    enhances the controller's benefits, in particular the fast reaction time and higher productivity due to
    increased time the press operates at high travel speed travel and shorter stopping and change of speed
    distances.
    The guard system combination automatically measures stop distance, then sets the maximum allowable
    stop distance and the laser beam-to-tool distance - this can be as little as 4 mm. This results in very
    short slow speed distances, which translates to faster cycle times.

    Light curtain option


    As an option, a third party light curtain can also be connected to the Guard Counter Module in
    conjunction with the Lazer Safe Transmitter and Receiver. The PCSS controller can activate the
    appropriate guarding system to suit the bending process being performed. A light curtain can also be
    installed in place of the Lazer Safe Transmitter and Receiver.
    The solution at a glance
    Add-in Guarding Card and High  Response time - 1ms plus that for guarding system.
    Speed Counter:  Choice of guarding system - laser and / or light curtain.
    Integrated guarding:  Low overall reaction time - 4ms.
     Improves machine productivity by extending high speed distance and reducing low speed
    distance.
     Supports high speed and short stop machines.
     Communication with press brake controller allows information transfer: mute point
    setting; positioning of laser beam; elimination of pressing speed discrepancies.
     Reduced conflict between operational, press safety and guarding system logic and their
    suppliers.
    Reduced operator guarding cost:  Guarding control card added to PCSS overcomes the need for any associated control or
    muting hardware.
    Single supplier:  A single supplier for press brake control, machine safety and operator guarding
    overcomes fault resolution conflicts.
