10 years' success in the Middle Kingdom - Sick

stopped just before folding, with a new
approach then being made using a foot
switch. The savings in cycle time that
this brings about increase machine capacity
– and thus economic
efficiency.
Setting new standards in practice
The intelligent image processing of the
V 4000 Press Brake also sets new
standards regarding commissioning
and availability. Vibrations – typical for
presses – do not trigger any system response
because the entire camera
field, within which the safety-monitored
area is programmed, is intelligently
evaluated. The monitored area of the
safe camera sensor tracks even small
changes in alignment. This immunity to
any misalignment also makes adjustment
during first commissioning, and
Maximum optimisation of bending
processes and maximum operating
safety – with the V 4000 Press Brake
camera sensor
after a change of tools, simpler and
quicker than with other “passenger”
systems.
The very simple integration in existing
control systems is also remarkable,
as the V 4000 Press Brake operates
with the signals that are anyway used
on press brakes.
The V 4000 Press Brake – press protection
that offer users and integrators
a real technological lead.

The KT 5 contrast scanner (with) display Products 37
Bar display for easier use
The KT 5 contrast scanner display:
a “straight back” for comfortable
use
Those who desire maximum ease of use from their contrast scanners
should select the new KT 5 Display. Why? The new bar display on the
back of the sensor housing now makes teach-in and fine adjustment particularly
easy.
>> Teach-in and tuning – a maximum of
two steps to get the contrast scanner
ready for use. First, the bar display of
the KT 5 Display supports the user during
teach-in, when the sensor is taught
the mark and its background, whereby
the sensor activates the optimum
transmission colour of the three-colour
LED according to the contrast. If, in individual
cases, even more accurate
fine adjustment is necessary, the display
permits pixel-precise fine adjustment
of the current signal level via a
tuning button.
It’s all a question of adjustment
So users can now check the current
signal level in combination with the current
switching threshold, as well as assessing
detection accuracy and, if
necessary, carry out a manual adaptation
of the switching threshold. Thus if,
for example, the appearance of a label
changes (leading to altered grey values
of marks, and the background or reflectivity),
the KT 5 Display can now be easily
re-adjusted during operation.
Performance features that
re-define the device standard
The new KT 5 Display has several performance
features upon which users
place particular value. In addition to
the three-colour LED technology and
the proven 2-point teach-in, these include
a switching frequency of 10 kHz
and automatic adaptation of switching
thresholds with highly reflective materials.
Individual alignment and attachment
possibilities cover a wide variety
of mounting situations and ensure both
the electrical and mechanical compatibility
of the KT 5 Standard.
A winner without drawbacks – the KT 5
Display with the new informative back.
