Sentinel Plus Press Brake Guarding System
Defender Plus Optical Protection
Defender Plus is a press brake guarding system designed for retrofit applications and provides a high level of operator protection while maintaining machine productivity and performance.
The Defender Plus laser transmitter and receiver are mounted to the upper beam of the press brake. A continuous dual laser field protects the zone directly below the punch tip allowing the operator to hold the work piece as the tools close at high speed. If an obstruction is detected the machine is automatically stopped.
This close proximity protection allows the operator unrestricted access to the point of operation for increased productivity and unlike traditional light curtains, reduces fatigue by enabling the operator to remain standing in the same position.
Sentinel Plus Faster Than Ever
Sentinel Plus is the most advanced press brake guarding system ever designed for retrofit applications and is optimised for high speed performance machines. As a camera based system, Sentinel Plus delivers exceptional levels of protection, productivity and performance.
The Sentinel Plus Press Brake Guarding System includes RapidBend Plus technology that enables you to operate faster than ever before. RapidBend Plus works with flat sheets and box profile parts so the machine can close at high speed right down to 2mm above the material to significantly boost your productivity.
