Innovation and safety: protect workers, increase Productivity
Founded in 1981, Nuova Elettronica Pasqui s.r.l. is a leading company in the design and production of safety systems for press brakes. Today the company, which produces according to INDUSTRY 4.0 standards, continues to stand out for the quality and reliability of its products, committing itself to maintaining the highest standards of safety and protection, but guaranteeing very high productivity.
Integrated optical protection has never been simpler and with a wide range of options available, your press brakes can be configured with the perfect balance of safety and performance versus cost to suit any market level.
-
LazerSafe uses dual flat bands of continuous laser light mounted on the ram to protect the zone around the punch tip.
-
The system detects obstructions as small as 4 mm (LZS‑003HS) while remaining vibration‑tolerant. BendShield technology further enhances detection capability to 6 mm from any angle.
-
Three‑Zone Optical Protection (Front, Middle, Rear).
-
Automatic Mute Point Detection & Monitoring.
-
Sentinel Plus and RapidBend technologies allow the machine to close at high speed until the tool opening is just 2 mm above the material.
-
Real‑Time Monitoring of Speed, Direction & Stopping Distance.
-
Camera‑based receivers automatically detect the tool profile and align the protection field to the punch tip.
-
Supports Tray/Box and Field Muted modes, allowing complex geometries without interrupting the laser beams.
-
Certified Safety Compliance.
-
Light curtains typically reduce throughput by 25–40%, while LazerSafe’s close‑proximity protection and step‑through cycle significantly increase productivity.
The DSP LASER safety device is a barrier with visible laser emission which, inserted in a more general control system, contributes to the protection of the operator when using press brakes for the cold forming of metals.
-
DSP creates a moving laser protection area that follows the punch tip during the ram’s travel.
-
Real‑Time Intrusion Detection + Instant Stop.
-
DSP allows operators to work within millimeters of the punch while maintaining safety. This is the main advantage over traditional light curtains, which require large safety distances.
-
DSP systems (DSP, DSP AP+MCS, DSP AP EX+MCS EX) use five detection points to create a block‑shaped protection area around the bending tip.
-
Safety Depends on Full Stopping Chain with Proper reset behavior.
-
DSP supports muting/blanking modes so the system can ignore intentional part intrusion during special geometries while still protecting the operator.
-
Industry 4.0‑Level Manufacturing (DSP AP Series).
