The characteristic feature of press brakes is the performing of the movement of a tool, usually the upper tool or the bending punch, that moves towards a fixed tool, (the matrix or the bottom platen of the press) , consequently bending the metal sheet placed between them. When manufacturing small components, lot jobs or special single-piece production, the machine operator must hold and adjust the small pieces by hand during the bending process. Hands and fingers are endangered when doing so.

The following LASER-optical safety light grid AKAS® prevents the trapping of a part of the body between the bending punch and the inserted sheet metal, i.e. the matrix.

The Press brake Laser guarding System AKAS®-II is is a special protective device for press brakes. It consists of transmitter, receiver and LSUW N1 MUTING K controller (switching unit) or the Safety Controller FMSC. 

Electromotor driven actuators located in the AKAS®-II supports provide a quick and easy, all-automatic adjustment of both AKAS®-II transmitter and AKAS®-II receiver according to the requirements of other tool sizes.
