Information

The measurement can be terminated early by pressing the operating
button briefly. After 40 seconds without a measurement result, the mea-
surement is ended automatically.

If the laser beam does not hit both legs at an angle of 90°, an alternative
position must be selected for the measurement.

Continuous measurement

In the continuous measurement, a measurement is carried out continuously
and the measured angle is displayed immediately. In this mode, long sheet
metal parts can be measured along the entire bending edge, for example. In
order to start the continuous measurement, proceed as follows:

1) Press and hold the operating button until 

 appears on the display.

2) Carry out the measurement.

The measurement can be terminated by pressing the operating button 2x
briefly.

5.7

Carrying out an automatic measurement

Settings on the press brake

The following settings must be configured on the press brake to achieve a
correct measurement result:

Adjust the decompression path. For a correct measurement result, the
press beam must be moved up far enough and the legs of the workpiece
must be unstressed. For more information, see the Downloads area of
the KEBA website www.keba.com/kemes-downloads.

Set a minimum opening stroke of 50 mm to achieve sufficient velocity to
trigger the measurement.

Installation on the upper tool

To carry out an automatic measurement, the device must be installed on the
upper tool.

Caution

Property damage due to incorrect positioning!

The device must be positioned so that, after reaching the target angle, suffi-
cient space remains between the leg and the device.

The following requirements of use must be fulfilled:
