Function module for dynamic muting
For the camera-based protection system 'PSENvip 2', Pilz offers a certified function module for dynamic muting to safeguard press brakes.
As a complete solution with the Fast Analysis Unit (FAU) in the PSS 4000 automation system, the camera-based safety system offers maximum safety for press brakes in accordance with EN ISO 12622 and is suitable for both new machines and retrofits. The new function module for dynamic muting is available via the PSS 4000 automation system. In conjunction with the FAU module, the tool class, muting end point or protective field modes, for example, can be configured quickly and easily. Safety functions such as position, speed, braking ramp, overtravel distances and protective field can be monitored. After a successful check, the function module ensures that dynamic muting is initiated. As there is no need for manual programming work, commissioning of the press application is quick and safe, according to the manufacturer Pilz.
With PSENvip 2, foreign objects are immediately detected in the optical protective field and the pressing process is safely stopped - without compromising productivity. This is because the solution allows optimized, adapted operating speeds and therefore higher cycle rates: Thanks to the dynamic muting process, the speed of the upper tool can be continuously adapted via the dynamic adjustment of the protective field. This is only reduced to the lowest level from the protective zone onwards. Together with diagnostics, the safe complete solution for bending increases the availability and cost-effectiveness of press applications in forming technology.
