Safety Principle

• Protective volume -
• Width: 1.6 in (40 mm)
• Height: 1.0 in (26 mm)
• Depth: scanning range
• Scanning range 0 .. 24.6 ft (0 .. 7.5 m)
• Object resolution better than 0.6 in (14 mm)
• High immunity against vibrations and misalignments

The V 4000 Press Brake System is a camera-based system for complete safeguarding of press brakes. It is an all­inclusive sensor and evaluation system, consisting of a sender and a receiver mounted on the upper beam of the press, which safeguards the punch during the fast downward movement. It creates a safety volume below the punch line and its Output Signal Switching Devices (OSSDs) provide a signal to the press controller to stop the closing movement of the press as soon as an object (such as a hand or finger) is detected.
The press brake monitoring system is easy to configure because it uses existing linear scales to calculate machine­relevant information, such as the upper beam's position, velocity, direction and stopping distance. The V 4000 can also be easily integrated into the machine's human-machine interface (HMI).
The V 4000 complies with Type 4 according to IEC 61496-1 and 2, SIL 3 according to IEC 61508 and is suitable for controls with Safety Category 4 according to EN 954-1.

• The V 4000 monitors a safety volume directly below the punch
• Any infringements of the safety volume generate a two-channel signal to stop the machine. The V 4000 resolution is better than 14 mm.

Ordering information notes
Minimum Requirements:

• Sender/Receiver units required for all installations plus one of the following installation kits.
• Installation Kit # 1 includes alignment plates and necessary cables. Mounting arms to be provided by machine builder or integrator
• Installation Kit # 2 includes alignment plates. mounting arms and all necessary cables. Suited for retrofit applications. Installation Kit # 2 includes Installation Kit # 1

In addition, all V 4000 Press Brake System installations require encoder signal for monitoring ram movement. To gain encoder signal:

• For machines with operating encoders meeting V 4000 Press Brake System requirements use the V 4000 PBI kit for interfacing with encoder
• In all other cases, a new encoder installation is recommended. See V 4000 Press Brake System Operating Instructions Section 10.1.3 for encoder performance requirements.
