LazerSafe IRIS PLUS: Advanced Safety and Precision for Press Brakes
The LazerSafe IRIS PLUS is an innovative laser safety system for press brakes, leveraging real-time optical imaging technology to ensure reliable and versatile protection. Unlike traditional systems, IRIS PLUS not only detects objects via a laser barrier but also analyzes captured images to determine the position and shape of objects for enhanced functionality.
Key Features:
Angle Control Function
The angle control feature of IRIS PLUS is a groundbreaking advancement in laser safety systems.
How it Works:
- Image Capture: A high-resolution camera captures real-time images of the bend profile during the bending process.
- Image Analysis: Advanced algorithms identify key points of the bend profile and calculate the actual angle.
- Comparison with Set Value: The calculated angle is compared to the CNC-programmed bend angle.
- Real-Time Corrections: If deviations occur, the system alerts the CNC, enabling immediate adjustments to ensure precise bending.
Advantages of Angle Control:
- Extreme Accuracy: Offers precise bend angle measurements, surpassing traditional methods.
- Flexibility: Adapts to diverse geometries, measuring both internal and external angles.
- Efficiency: Real-time processing ensures smooth and continuous operations.
- Improved Quality: Enhances product quality by minimizing waste and rework.
- CNC Integration: Seamlessly integrates with press brake controls for full automation.
- Optimized Safety: Allows increased beam speed in specific cases while maintaining compliance.
BendShield Technology
BendShield adjusts to various part profiles—flat, box-shaped, or flanged—and ensures safety during bending:
- Operator Safety: Prevents collisions with high-speed tools and protects tooling investments.
- Tool Compatibility: Works with different tool profiles, adapting its optical protection for optimal safety.
RapidBend Ultimate
RapidBend Ultimate redefines performance by enabling tools to close at full speed and switch to bending speed at the exact contact point. This eliminates unnecessary slow travel, reducing cycle times by up to 3 seconds per bend. It supports complex part profiles, such as box bending with side flanges, enhancing productivity without compromising safety.
Advanced Angle Control Options
Active Angle Control – AAC
Perfect for single or small batch production, AAC pauses bending momentarily to calculate spring back and adjust depth for precise angles.
Dynamic Angle Control – DAC
Ideal for high-speed production, DAC records spring back values during the first bend and uses them to ensure accuracy and consistency in subsequent bends without slowing operations.
With these cutting-edge features, IRIS PLUS delivers unmatched safety, precision, and efficiency, making it a game-changer for press brake operations.
