The safety solution for the latest generation of press brakes.

Modern press brakes are characterised by large productivity (high closing speed and short overrun traverse), maximum quality with simultaneous user friendliness and optimal safety standards.

AKAS®-III, the press brake safety system with the following advantages:

Very short response time of 0,75 ms reaction time in normal case
(1,5 ms in worst case)
• Minimum overrun traverse.
• Possibility of substantially higher fast speed of the press brake.
• This means higher productivity of the press.

Maximum of safety
• By particularly arranged laser beams for flat and box bending.
• Optimal bending frequencies.

Integrated safety PLC (F)
Capability to connect and monitor directly other safety devices such as Foot pedal, emergency stop, Safety switches for left and right gates, backside safety guarding, monitoring of safety valves and overrun control.

30% Productivity increase
(Comparison without material handling times) in comparison with present solutions. Minimum slow speed way when bending flat material by special arrangement of the laser beams.

High availability
No wearing parts by fully electronic solution.

User-friendly
• Fully automatic adjustment to other tool tools,therefore low safety responsibility for the machine operator when changing the upper tools.
• Box bending function without intermediate stop and unnecessary foot pedal sequences.

83% Time Saving
In relation to manually adjustable systems when changing the tool.

• Increased productivity due to short reaction time and new special beam arrangement
• Integrated safety PLC
• Short change-over times due to all-automatic change over to other tool sizes
• Supports practical bending cycle
