AKAS: MACHINE SAFETY
As we all know NZS 4024 is to be applied to all machinery for the
safe operation of equipment and protection of operators nearby to the
equipment.
It is often difficult to comply, particularly for specific machine groups
such as Press Brakes which require easy and open access to the
danger areas. Not only is the front where the operator is standing
required to be guarded, but also the rear and sides of the machine
need to be considered as part of the guarding system.
Some other regions such as Europe and North America have
developed specific safety standards for Press Brakes as NZS 4024
(and the European standards on which NZS 4024 is based) are not
specific enough. For example BS EN 12622, ISO 14121-1, ANSI
B11.3 have been developed specifically for Press Brake guarding. And
there are other specific standards for other groups of machines.
As a result several makers for Press Brake safety systems exist
offering a variety of options to protect Press Brakes more attuned with
operational requirements.
wear performance, typically 6x that of the next best chain.

chain.

many times a standard chain in an application that cannot
be lubricated or is poorly lubricated and is supplied with
food industry approved lubricant.
Renold Hydroservice chain will give an excellent
performance in wet environments.

One of the leading makers is Fiessler Elektronik (Germany) with
their brand of AKAS Press Brake guarding opto-electroncs and
control system. This is installed at the factories of many machine
manufacturers worldwide now, including Europe, Japan, Asia Press
Brake makers.
The AKAS system is available in a variety of models to suit many
machines and performance levels of Press Brake. Also the AKAS
models from most current models of Press Brakes can be motorised,
allowing auto-adjustment so that the correct distance between the
upper blade and safety laser beam is maintained.
It is important to understand that simply putting a ‘safety device’ onto
any equipment does not guarantee compliance with NZS 4024 or that
your operators are correctly protected. A process of risk analysis and
functional safety engineering should be undertaken to ensure that the
safety you choose to install on equipment really does work.
