Presses

Tra­di­tion­ally, presses are among the most dan­gerous machines. So it’s all the more impor­tant that they are state of the art as regards safety tech­nology. Industry-spe­cific solu­tions from Pilz take on the heavy­weights.

Textbook retrofit

Presses have a spe­cial status when it comes to safety require­ments. Grass GmbH, global man­u­fac­turer of move­ment sys­tems for fur­ni­ture and house­hold appli­ances, was aware of this while looking for a partner that would be able to update “slightly” older plants to the cur­rent state of the art in com­pli­ance with stan­dards. In Pilz Aus­tria, the Salzburg-based com­pany found a partner who could “com­plete the job in text­book fashion.”

Master of all angles

In the press brakes from the press man­u­fac­turer Bystronic, the camera-based pro­tec­tion system PSENvip has for years been used in com­bi­na­tion with the automa­tion system PSS 4000 from Pilz to ensure safe, effi­cient and user-friendly processes. With the module for bending angle mea­sure­ment for PSENvip 2 newly devel­oped by Pilz, Bystronic is once again expanding the scope of its safety system.
