LCS: angle measuring & correcting system for press brakes

Among all our innovations, discover the LCS: a high speed laser control system to measure & correct automatically bending angles (in real time). This patented solution ensures high precision and great quality of bending without any scrap part.

WHY DID WE DEVELOP THE LCS Laser System?

After having tried many control systems, JEAN PERROT launched a product development project for the following reasons:

• License-free system for angle measurement & correction
• LCS program internal control (increasing support service reactiveness)
• Modularity, adaptability to our MANEO Premium press brakes
• Ultra high speed system for real time measurement & correction
• Reliable system
• Open system, highly versatile 
• Avoid tedious calibration when the machine strats running or after laser head replacement
• Push forward technical limits / bending angle radius & springback
• Reduce constraints on the range of tools that can be used

HOW DOES THE LASER LCS FUNCTION ?

Our patented system, is composed of 3 main functions:

• Laser head with its own processor and associated control system
• Data acquisition card integrated to the numerical control device of the press brake
• Specific program ensuring the interface between the laser head, the numerical controls, the press brake & the HMI

Key advantages of the LCS angle measuring system:

• Independant & flexible system
• High speed measurement & correction (servo system)
• Optimizing productivity
• Quality control for each bend with report generation & export functions (.xls or .txt formats)
• Bending angles from 80 to 160° with a precision of +/- 20’
• Plug and play system when using punches with similar height
• Direct angle measuring system (without any calibration)
• Automatic compensation according to each material properties such as strength or springback, rolling direction and thickness variations
• Perfect bending from the very first part
• Repeatability, reliability
