Lazer Safe Press Brake Guarding Systems



The LZS-003-HS press brake guarding system from Lazer Safe is designed to fully comply with the ANSI B11.3 standard for press brakes. According to the company, a key addition to the standard is the inclusion of close proximity point of operation safeguarding devices.

The LZS-003-HS features a laser transmitter and receiver that are mounted on the upper ram of the press. Two continuous parallel flat band lasers provide a 40 mm protective zone directly below the punch, allowing the operator to remain close to the workpiece as the tools close at high speed. If an obstruction is detected the ram movement is stopped so the punch cannot make contact with the obstruction.

Key features include: automatic speed and overrun monitoring; optical protection to 6 mm tool opening; automatic mute point set-up and monitoring; 6 mm change of speed point; high speed tool collision protection; and quick adjustment after tool change.
