V4000
V4000 Press Brake Camera Based System
The V 4000 Press Brake is a camera-based system for complete safeguarding of press brakes. It is an all-inclusive sensor and evaluation system, consisting of a sender and a receiver mounted on the upper beam of the press, which safeguards the punch during the fast downward movement. It creates a safety volume below the punch line and its Output Signal Switching Devices (OSSDs) provide a signal to the press controller to stop the closing movement of the press as soon as an object (such as a hand or finger) is detected.
The press brake monitoring system is easy to configure because it uses existing linear scales to calculate machine relevant information, such as the upper beam?s position, velocity, direction and stopping distance. The V 4000 Press Brake can also be easily integrated into the machine?s human machine interface (HMI).
The V 4000 Press Brake complies with Type 4 according to IEC 61496-1 and 2, SIL 3 according to IEC 61508 and is suitable for controls with Safety Category 4 according to EN 954-1.
