For example the close proximity point of operation aopd safeguarding devices which we will discuss later in this blog and a means of safeguarding referred to as safe speed we should note that ansi b11 0 2015 recommends risk assessments of press brakes among other equipment offered by rockford systems. A continuous block laser field protects the zone directly below the punch tip allowing the operator to hold the work piece as the tools close at high speed. A continuous block laser field protects the zone around the punch tip allowing the operator to safely hold the work piece as the tools close at high speed.

However older machines especially mechanical press brakes require longer minimum safety distances which may limit the kind of safeguards that will work.

The range of technologies includes bendvision rapidbend smartlink flexspeed autosense and bendshield. Formulas for calculating safety distance can be found in the osha safety regulations and the ansi b11 1 2012 press brake safety standard. So you re in the market for a new press brake.
