Safety Systems
Operator safety is of the utmost importance to Accurpress. We offer many options to meet the safety requirements of your forming applications.
Fiessler AKAS 3F:
The Fiessler Laser Guarding System protects the operator from the pinch point hazard of closing tooling. The Fiessler system transmits 3 lasers across the tooling area and monitors any interference as the parts are formed. In the event of an unplanned obstruction in the laser area, the ram is immediately stopped, thereby protecting the operator.
Lazersafe Sentinel:
Lazersafe Sentinel is a Safety System offered on the Accurpress HT models that incorporate a continuous dual-beam laser field protection zone directly below the punch tip. The Accurpress will immediately stop if any obstruction is detected when the ram is in motion. This system is most efficient up to 32’ ram/bed lengths.
Lazersafe Sentinel Plus:
The Lazersafe Plus includes a dual beam system with a camera as a receiver that recognizes and monitors the silhouette of the punch. The Plus has the added benefit of allowing the ram to operate in fast speeds closer to the pinch point. This system is most efficient up to 18’ ram/bed lengths. A Sentinel Plus HL system is available for Accurpress models 20’ and longer in length.
Rear Guarding:
This is a standard feature for all Accurpress HT models that have an Elite or Titan Backgauge. A metal fixture with a gate and a safety interlock switch is installed and safely blocks operator access to the backgauge area. If the operator needs to access the back of the machine, the interlock switch on the gate will prevent the machine from turning on when the door is opened.
