Integrated Machine Safety Controls
Lazer Safe “Sentinel Plus” Press-Brake Guarding System
High-speed, camera-based safeguarding with the Lazer Safe Sentinel Plus
State-of-the-art guard system for press brakes: laser zone, automatic alignment, real-time monitoring and high productivity.
The Lazer Safe “Sentinel Plus” Press-Brake Guarding System is an advanced optical safety solution engineered specifically for hydraulic and electric press brakes. Using high-speed dual-beam laser detection, Sentinel Plus monitors the tooling area in real time—stopping the ram instantly if fingers, hands, or foreign objects enter the danger zone. Featuring automatic muting during bending, dynamic bending-edge protection, and compatibility with most major OEM controls, Sentinel Plus delivers unmatched precision and productivity without slowing down tooling setups or forming operations. Fully compliant with OSHA, ANSI B11.3, and ISO 13849-1 safety standards, the system provides Category 4 / PLe performance, helping manufacturers reduce injury risk, maintain high throughput, and modernize legacy press brakes with state-of-the-art guarding technology.
User-Friendly Design
- Continuous block laser field envelops the punch tip zone, detecting obstructions down to 2 mm resolution.
- Automatic Tool Alignment (camera-receiver) removes manual adjustment after punch changes — reducing set-up time.
- Intuitive 4.3″ colour graphics HMI panel with magnetic mount for quick machine-side status and operator guidance.
Flexible Mounting Options
- Linear sliding brackets (free-sliding) mount the transmitter & receiver to the upper beam of your existing press brake for retrofit.
- Optional motorized “Automatic Brackets” upgrade for tool-change automation: push HOME/ALIGN to reposition.
- Three available variants: Standard, XL (for long-bed machines up to ~15 m) and Automatic.
Seamless System Integration
- Certified hardware & software: TÜV-CE, UL listed for USA & Canada (UL File No. E514131) and compliant with EN12622, ANSI B11.3-2012, CSA Z142-10.
- Real-time machine performance monitoring (AutoSense) of speed, stop-time, motion, and external device monitoring (EDM) for up to 4 devices.
- Dual guarding support: laser system plus option to integrate third-party light curtains in one HMI environment.

- Dual guarding support: laser system plus option to integrate third-party light curtains in one HMI environment.
- Assembly consists of:
- Main system: laser transmitter (TX) and camera receiver (RX) mounted on beam-bracket assembly.
- Sliding or motorized mounting bracket kit (depending on variant) with rails and bearings for vertical adjustment.
- HMI operator panel (colour display) with cables and mounting hardware.
- Comprehensive documentation: installation manual, alignment guide, quick-reference guide.
- Note: Machine controller, light-curtain (if used), and integration wiring to press control are sold separately.
- Common uses include:
- Retrofit of existing CNC press brakes to bring modern safeguarding without reducing speed or productivity.
- High-speed bending operations (flat sheets or box-profiles) where the tool closes down to ~2 mm clearance above work for maximum cycle speed.
- Long-bed or tandem press brakes requiring extended optical protection ranges (XL variant).
- Production environments where operator holds the sheet while bending — system allows safe hand-holding near punch tip without flood light-curtain delays.
