Safety Arrangements
LAZER SAFE - PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The LZS Series and IRIS Series Safety laser protection provide superior optical protection while maintaining the highest level of productivity and performance for CNC press brake.
CNC Control System
Over 35 Years Of Experience In Top Level Controls
Successfully controlling precision & productivity, modern sheet metal production is inconceivable without high performance software. Highly effective control algorithms optimize the machine cycle, reduce the time required for set-up and ensures consistently high quality.
TOP MIND is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the field of steel metal working machinery for our Laser Cutting Systems & Press brakes.
Advantage:
- CLASS 1 Dual Block laser
- Fast response time
- Safety speed automatically monitored
- Stopping distance automatically monitored
- Status LEDs - Power / Front/middle/rear Sensors
- Tray mode for high speed bending of tray & box shapes
- Complex shapes can be achieved in high speed with Tray/Box Mode.
Automatic Tool Alignment:
The systems with a camera receiver feature automatic tool alignment that eliminates the need for precise manual adjustment, and this process can also be fully automated in the CNC via SmartLink, eliminating the need for the operator to press the TOOL ALIGN button.

Certification And Standards Compliance:
The OEM Embedded Systems LZS Series and IRIS Series hardware and software is CE Certified and compliant with all international press brake safety standards including EN12622, ANSI B11.3-2012, CSA Z142-10 and NR12.
Press Brake Control Safety System - Advanced
The PCSS-A is a programmable safety controller designed to improve the performance and safety of press brakes. It provides flexibility for the press brake manufacturer and simplifies the design process by combining all related control, safety and monitoring functions into a single system and eliminates the need for complex integration of third party components and software. PCSS-A provides an optimum balance of functionality and performance with reduced build cost.
This provides an efficient and cost effective platform with fewer components, reduced wiring, simplified interface and CE Certified hardware and software to minimise engineering and build time.
