General Overview
The Lazer Safe bracket system is designed for mounting the Lazer Safe Series of press brake
guarding systems to the press brake. The bracket system consists of a pair of adjustable vertical
brackets and horizontal mounting adaptors. The horizontal mounting adaptors are fixed to the upper
beam of the press brake to provide a mounting point for the vertical brackets. The laser transmitter
and receiver units of the Lazer Safe guarding system are fitted to mounting plates located at the
bottom of each vertical bracket.
The bracket system allows the laser transmitter and receiver to be adjusted to different positions to
suit various tool sizes. It also provides stability and minimises vibration on the guarding system when
the machine is in operation. The high level of adjustment accuracy in the bracket linear bearing
ensures precise alignment of the laser transmitter and receiver is maintained throughout the entire
adjustment range of the brackets.
The bracket system is supplied in a number of options for both the vertical bracket and the horizontal
adaptor to suit most applications. This manual provides information for the assembly and installation
of each bracket system.

Warning
When installing the bracket system care must be taken to ensure sufficient clearance
between the brackets and any other part of the machine that may present a trapping
hazard and potential injury.

Bracket models
There are four vertical bracket models and three horizontal adaptors available in four
configurations. These can be used in various combinations to suit most press brake
applications.
3.1
Vertical brackets
The four vertical brackets available are LITE 380, LITE 500, STD 610 and STD 730. Refer to

Horizontal adaptors
There are three types of horizontal adaptor available and provide four different mounting
options. The required horizontal adaptor will depend on the mounting position on the upper
beam of the press brake. The horizontal adaptors include End mount straight, End mount
off-set and General purpose (can be configured for straight or off-set application). Refer to
Figure 3 and Figure 4.

Bracket selection
When selecting a vertical bracket system you must ensure that the bracket option allows
sufficient clearance for tool change and sufficient vertical adjustment range to suit the tools
that will be used on the machine. Vertical brackets are available in various lengths for both
STD and LITE versions.

* Note Maximum punch height
This is an approximate guide only as dimensions will vary depending on the guarding
system laser to punch distance setting that is configured by the machine
manufacturer for OEM systems or by the installer during installation of a retrofit
system. The listed dimensions are applicable only when the horizontal adaptors are
mounted to allow minimum clearance. Listed dimensions are based on horizontal
adaptors manufactured and supplied by Lazer Safe. Punch height refers to overall
height of the tool. Refer to section 4.2.

Note
To maintain a symmetrical appearance the horizontal adaptors can be mounted at
the same position. For example both A and B brackets can be mounted at the B
position. This will allow sufficient clearance for both brackets and will keep the
brackets level with respect to each other. Please note however that the A bracket will
lose a small amount of vertical adjustment although this is suitable for most
applications.

Additional components
Additional components may be required for some bracket installations. This may include items
such as cable glands, cable ties, terminal strips, extension cables, conduit, etc. These items
are not supplied with the bracket kits or LZS Series guarding systems and should be sourced
separately.
5.3
Tools required
Refer to Table 16 for a list of tools required for bracket installation. Please note that the listed
tools are not supplied with any Lazer Safe bracket kits.

Warning
Ensure that adequate body and eye protection is used during bracket installation
where the use of power tools is required. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Warning
While care is taken to remove all sharp edges during the bracket manufacturing
process care should be exercised during installation when hands are placed inside
the bracket cover.

8.1
Locking handle
Each bracket features a locking handle and clamp assembly that is used to secure the bracket
vertical position. The clamp assembly is designed so that a minimum amount of clamping force
is required to hold the bracket in position. It is important that the handle not be over tightened
as it is designed to break in order to avoid damage to the clamp assembly that can occur
through excessive force. When operating the handle only a quarter to half turn is required to
secure the bracket.
Warning
When adjusting the bracket handle ensure that the bottom of the bracket is held
firmly with your free hand to prevent the bracket from free falling when the clamp is
released.
Caution
Excessive force on the bracket handle will result in the handle breaking. Do not apply
excessive force when operating the handle. The handle should only be operated by
hand and the use of tools or implements to tighten the handle must be avoided.
8.2
Latch mechanism
STD 610 and STD 730 brackets feature a latch mechanism. The latch is used to lock the
bracket in the upper position during tool change. After tool change the bracket is unlatched and
returned to its original position. The locking handle can then be adjusted and the bracket
vertical position moved to suit the replacement tool if necessary.
8.3
Bracket maintenance
The following maintenance procedure is recommended once every two months.
1. Using a soft cloth clean the linear rail and wipe away any grease and dirt that may have
accumulated along the rail.
2. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the grease nipple of the linear bearing. The
recommended lubricant is AS2-Shell.
3. Slide the bracket up and down several times along the full range of vertical movement.
4. Wipe away any excess lubricant.
5. Check that each bracket is level then tighten all mounting screws.
