SAFAN M-SHEAR
The Safan M-Shear’s extremely functional design satisfies current and future requirements with possible expansion plans, such as material-handling systems, already provided for. At its core is the advanced hybrid drive for the cutting beam consisting of a servo-electronic motor and hydraulic pump, a combination producing a remarkably quiet and energy-saving system.
While the robust hydraulic systems are controlled by modern electronics increasing both productivity and quality of products, the servo-electronic motor powering the hybrid drive only runs when the cutting beam is in motion thus saving energy and reducing noise levels while cutting.
Maximum ease of operation is provided by the Safan Touch Screen control TS 200 while the settings are indicated by clear symbols on the TFT colour monitor. The control operates with Microsoft Windows®.
With blades having four cutting edges, on both top and bottom, shearing is done very economically as blade wear is spread over the blade’s entire length, thanks to the programmable starting position of the cutting beam. Another feature includes independent left and right clearance adjustment and built-in measuring sensor with an accuracy of ±0.01mm. Due to the special frame construction, clearance is self- compensating so that, even with a load in the middle of the shear, the clearance remains constant over the entire length. When the clearance is changed, the back gauge setting is automatically corrected. Size of cut can be directly entered, after which the position of the back gauge is adjusted. The back gauge adjustment occurs by means of play-free guides and ball screws. Setting precision is 0.01mm and repetitions are accurate to within ±0.03mm.
The shear has extensive guards on the back and sides. These consist of mechanical side covers on the right and left sides plus a photo-electrical guard on the back. The machine’s foot-operated console is fitted with an emergency stop. Robust finger guards have been installed. For up to and including 6mm cuts, openings have been made in these guards, allowing the operator to safely get closer to the blade.
As an option, the M-Shear can be supplied with pneumatic sheet support equipment making cutting easier, especially when dealing with largersize blank sizes. The sheet to be cut is supported at the back of the shear, ensuring it can be accurately positioned against the back gauge, which can be equipped with sheet support arms, if requested.
In combination with the pneumatic sheet support system, a scrap separation feature is available.
THE SAFANDARLEY E-BRAKE ERGONOMIC
With the Ergonomic design of the E-Brake, SafanDarley enables the operator and the press brake to work as a unit. The operator is partially seated inside the machine, surrounded by an edging table with his legs in a spacious cut-away below the lower beam, where the foot pedal is located.
Ergonomic ease of operation is assured as the seating position as well as the height and angle of the footrest can be adjusted. The SafanDarley E-Brake Ergonomic can easily be adapted to changing work situations, such as a different product or a different operator. The edging table can be adjusted enabling users to achieve perfect pick-up height, working height and cast-off height every time. In addition, the edging table can be fully or partially collapsed, enabling the operator to bend whilst standing up. Finally, the entire edging table can easily be removed from the machine to make the front freely accessible.
While the height of the rotating 17″ Touch Screen is adjustable, the unit can be placed to both the left and right of the operator, meaning that left-handed operators can use the machine with the same level of ease as right-handed operators.
The double-function safety light screen, integrated into the control panel secures the bending zone and allows the axis to move, while the operator turns, picks up or removes the product. These simultaneous actions of operator and machine lead to very fast cycle times.
While the innovative back gauge can be used across the full working length, it has a maximum depth of 1000mm and a height adjustment of 150mm. Combined with the possibility of setting the upper beam at a 5° angle, this means unparalleled flexibility. The back gauge comes with an X axis and an R axis as standard features, but can be expanded, depending on the model, with 5 optional axes.
