PCSS

Press Control Safety System

The PCSS is a programmable control and safety system designed specifically to improve the performance and safety of press brakes. All press control, press safety and press operator guarding is handled directly by the PCSS.

 

The PCSS also communicates directly with the press brake's CNC controller to achieve seamless operation and fully automated guarding system functions.

 

The PCSS completely replaces conventional contactors and general purpose safety PLCs currently used for the control of press brakes and associated guarding systems. A variety of inputs and outputs are available and are configurable for standard non-safety functions through to full Category 4 safety functions.

 

Benefits

• Designed to achieve maximum safety and machine efficiency.
• The system's rapid response time of less than 1ms significantly improves the efficiency and operation of the press brake to achieve maximum productivity results.
• Operation of the press brake is managed to produce faster and smoother transitions in changing of speed, starting and stopping.
• The CNC communications software displays messages and instructions on the CNC screen simplifying control for the operator.
• Enhanced diagnostic capabilities allow the PCSS to monitor and report specific machine faults to simplify fault finding and greatly reduce any down time.
