Laser Safety System: Workplace Safety Enhancement
The laser safety protection system adopts efficient laser detection tech to effectively prevent operators from touching the machine’s moving parts and enhance workplace safety levels.
The laser safety protection system adopts efficient laser detection tech to effectively prevent operators from touching the machine’s moving parts and enhance workplace safety levels.
If you prioritize safety, integrating the Italian DSP® laser protection system is crucial. This system features a multi-beam receiver for comprehensive laser protection of the front, middle, and rear areas, achieving safety levels of CAT.4 and SIL3. It has an IP65 enclosure protection rating, a Class 1M laser rating, a response time of only 5 milliseconds, an operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C, and is installed on the upper crossbeam. The speed change point is 5 mm + stopping distance, with a maximum protection distance of up to 15 meters. Various operating statuses are displayed in real-time via LED indicators.
The DSP LASER AP safety device is a visible laser barrier designed to protect press brake operators from being crushed between the upper and lower tools when the press is rapidly closing. It meets the safety standards set forth in EN12622. The device comprises a transmitter (TX) that emits the laser and a receiver (RX) that detects it and processes the received signals using the MCS module. The MCS module can manage a large number of signals and perform various machine functions.
The WEIYA CNC Press Brake incorporates OEM EMBEDDED LAZERSAFE, providing a superior solution for enhancing operator safety and machine productivity. Lazer Safe’s PCSS A Service is designed to work seamlessly with the press brake, and the Lazersafe system is compliant with Category 4 safety requirements and meets the most stringent international safety standards. Additionally, the system includes a CE Certified Category 4 Safety Controller with integrated features.

Both the IRIS and IRIS Plus models are combination systems that offer high-performance optical protection during high-speed tool closing. Once the bending process commences, image processing functions take over. These systems capture and process images in real-time and transfer live data to the CNC system via SmartLink. The image processing system is fully integrated within the IRIS and IRIS Plus receivers, eliminating the need for additional hardware or software.
The European press brake standard EN12622 limits bending speed to 10mm/s to ensure a basic level of operator safety by regulating the speed at which material facing towards the operator moves during bending.
However, the machinery directive and EN12622 have provisions for faster bending speeds with wider V dies, as long as certain operations can be adequately monitored. In the CNC system, manufacturers can set faster bend speeds for wider V dies, and the Bend Speed Management process automatically monitors the material’s speed as it moves through its bending arc, facilitating a safe condition for faster bending.
Systems with camera receivers offer automatic tool alignment, eliminating the need for precise manual adjustments. This process can be fully automated in the CNC via SmartLink, which eliminates the need for the operator to press the TOOL ALIGN button.
The OEM Embedded Systems LZS Series and IRIS Series hardware and software are CE Certified and comply with all international press brake safety standards, including EN12622, ANSI B11.3-2012, CSA Z142-10, and NR12.
The PCSS-A is a programmable safety controller that enhances both the performance and safety of press brakes. It provides press brake manufacturers with flexibility and streamlines the design process by integrating all control, safety, and monitoring functions into a single system, eliminating the need for complex integration of third-party components and software. The PCSS-A delivers an optimal balance of functionality and performance with reduced build costs. This provides an efficient and cost-effective platform with fewer components, reduced wiring, a simplified interface, and CE Certified hardware and software to minimize engineering and build time.
