Lazer Safe Sentinel
The World’s #1 Retrofit Solution for Press Brake Guarding
Sentinel Press Brake Guarding System
Sentinel is an advanced press brake guarding system designed for retrofit applications. Sentinel provides the highest level of operator protection while maintaining machine productivity and performance.
Sentinel Optical Protection
The Sentinel laser transmitter and receiver are mounted to the upper beam of the press brake. A continuous dual 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. If an obstruction is detected the machine is automatically stopped.
This close proximity protection allows the operator unrestricted access to the point of
operation for increased productivity and unlike traditional light curtains, reduces fatigue by
enabling the operator to remain standing in the same position.
Key Features
• Mute point is easily set according to the material position and optically verified automatically on every cycle.
• Multiple modes available to suit any shape and profile of work piece. At the press of a button simply select a mode that best suits each bend job to achieve the best level of productivity and performance.
• Graphical user interface panel displays system and machine status in real time. Simple to follow instructions and messages make the system very easy to operate.
• Integrated status LEDs for simpler and faster set-up and adjustment.
• Automatic monitoring of speed and stopping performance.
• Quick adjust brackets with tool lock to keep the transmitter and receiver clear during tool change.
• Simple to set-up with adjustment after tool change taking only a matter of seconds.
• Optional monitoring of additional machine safety elements including emergency stop buttons plus side and rear gate interlock switches with real time status displayed on the user interface panel.
