DSP LASER AP with MCS 

 

 

 

 

Figure 8 

 

As regards the Blanking function used for bending boxes, the detection area is subdivided 
in 3 different areas: a 

front area

 (towards the operator), a 

central area

 (under the tip of the 

upper tool and sligthly shifted towards the rear part of the press) and a 

rear area

 (towards 

the rear part of the press brake). 
 

Area 

Task 

Front 

Protects the operator’s fingers too close to the working area.  Moreover, it 
protects against the risk of squashing between the die edge and the tip of the 
upper tool.  

This area can be inhibited for special machining. 

Central 

Protects the operator against the squashing between the tip of the upper tool 
and the sheet/die. 

Rear 

Avoid the squashing between the tip of the upper tool and the rear 
backgauges. 

This area can be inhibited for special machining or if  the rear 
backgauges are intercepted. 

 
As regards the Automuting function, the detection areas are 3: Area A, Area B and Area C. 
 

Area 

Task 

Area A 

Area  A  is composed by the 3 lowest  sensors: one front sensor, one central 
sensor and one rear sensor.  The set of sensors of the Area A  is that 
intercepting first an obstacle during the downstroke. The detection of the sheet 
thickness is executed by the central sensor of the Area A. 
Note. If the machine Stop Distance, measured by MCS during the test, is less 
than 6mm, the Area A is automatically disabled by DSP LASER AP during the 
normal operation. It remains, however, active during the verification of the Stop 
Distance and the Sheet Edge Acquisition

.

 

Area B 

Area B is composed by the 3 sensors located above  the Area A:  one front 
sensor, one central sensor and one rear sensor. 

Area C 

Area C is composed by the 3 sensors located above  the Area B: one front 
sensor, one central sensor and one rear sensor.  This set of sensors is the 
closest to the tool tip.
