Available as an optional upgrade for the Sentinel Plus press brake guarding system, the addition of Automatic Brackets completely automates the process of adjusting and positioning the transmitter and receiver during tool change. The Automatic Brackets incorporate a compact motorised drive system that is controlled via the Sentinel Plus user interface panel with simple one-touch operation.
During tool change, the operator can press the BRACKETS HOME button to drive and park the transmitter and receiver at the top position so punches can be removed and loaded from the ends of the machine. Once a new punch has been installed, the operator simply presses the AUTO ALIGN button and the brackets automatically drive the transmitter and receiver to the punch position until the camera receiver detects the tool, then dynamically adjusts the protection zone.
