3.1.1
Safety during operation
Intended use also includes awareness of the hazards that arise during operation, against
which the PSENvip does not provide protection.
3.1.1.1
Hazards arising from installation
When installing the PSENvip, please note the following:
}
The PSENvip must be installed so that there are no crushing or shearing hazards
between the moving transmitter/receiver and the fixed machine parts or any other parts
around the machine.
}
If hazard areas cannot be avoided, other safeguards must be put in place.
3.1.1.2
Hazards arising from a reduced protected field
The full protected field is only active in standard protected field mode. In box bending, back
gauge or box bending with back gauge protected field mode, the protected field is reduced.
This means there can only be limited protection against trapping and crushing. The protec-
ted field is around the tolerance zone behind the bending line. Any parts of the body within
the danger zone will only be detected behind the bending line. There is a risk of injury from
trapping or crushing.
3.1.1.3
Hazards arising from incorrect handling of the workpiece
PSENvip does not protect against hazards arising from incorrect handling of the workpiece.
When bending metal sheets on press brakes there is a risk of hand injuries
}
From the tool's closing movement
}
From the swivel movement of the parts of the metal sheet that protrude from the tool and
}
From the dropping of the metal sheet when the tool is opened.
So please note the following:
}
You can avoid crushing and trapping of fingers or hands if the workpiece is handled cor-
rectly.
}
Wear protective gloves to prevent cuts from edges, corners and ridges.
3.1.1.4
Correct handling of the workpiece
WARNING!
Crushing and trapping of fingers or hands!
With box bending and/or back gauge bending mode, the protected field is
partly blanked.
Around the bending line there is an increased risk of crushing and trapping
of fingers or hands.
