ISB Merlin 4000 Press Brake Guarding System
ISB Merlin 4000 Press Brake Guarding System – Unique Concept Designed Specifically to Safeguard Today’s Most Advanced Press Brakes.
No Decisions. No Errors. No Complications.
Press brakes are difficult machines to guard, simply because the part’s flange profiles generally changes from step to step during the fabrication process. A standard safety light curtain can not provide protection because of these varying part profiles. Only the unique MERLIN concept, pioneered by ISB, can learn each flange profile while making your initial sample part and automatically create a window exactly the proper size required for each specific cycle. This opening may change from stroke to stroke automatically, completely determined by our processor, not your operator or set up personnel.
FEATURES:
- New compact touch screen based HMI panel for easier use.
- Unlimited job storage with job sharing.
- Each job can have up to 99 steps.
- Easy jobs back-up & restore using a USB memory stick.
- USB & Ethernet networking capability.
- Select-stop programmable stroke stop for each step to allow efficient bending of small or narrow parts. *optional items may be required.
- Password protected set-up and supervisor levels.
- Operates exclusively with ISB’s MX light curtain columns, either 14 mm or 22 mm detection capability, and a maximum of 10 meters of coverage.
- Built-in light curtain muting using two external inputs.
- Easy teaching of the part flanges and support arms by simply following the HMI’s step by step instructions and pressing the provided remote learn foot switch as initial sample part is being fabricated.
- Part flanges are dynamically monitored to prevent teaching of fake parts / operator abuse / permanent blockages.
- Stationary support arm size limits to prevent abuse. (adjustable & password protected)
- Floating beam to allow flat sheets of metal without flanges to pass through the light curtain.
- Blanking tollerance to allow for slight misposition for taught flanges.
- On screen diagnostics / troubleshooting.
