Common questions.

Lazer Safe uses a camera-based AOPD (Active Optical Protective Device) safety field mounted beneath the press brake punch. Unlike traditional light curtains that block access to the machine area, Lazer Safe monitors the actual tool path. The operator can stand close and hold the work piece as the brake closes at high speed — no fixed barrier in the way of production.

We’ve installed Lazer Safe systems on a wide range of press brake makes and models in U.S. shops. Some very old or specialty brakes may need additional engineering or aren’t a fit. Send us your brake make, model, tonnage, and a few photos and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s a candidate.

Our turn-key packages include the Lazer Safe system, interface equipment, required consumables, on-site installation, operator training, and travel costs. No hidden extras. Multi-machine discounts available when we can do them in the same visit.

Most installs are completed in a focused visit. We can’t commit to an exact duration without knowing your brake and site conditions — we’ll communicate timelines upfront on each quote.

Hands-on training on all Lazer Safe operating modes (Normal, Tray, Field-Muted, Faulting, Tooling Set Up). Each operator initials a sign-off sheet for your safety records.

Detailed manuals, brochures, certifications, and demo videos live on lazersafe.com. We’ll help with anything specific to your application — call (281) 265-2832.

Yes — our GS-series anti-restart panels are UL 508A listed. Look for the certification mark on the product page. Not all competing anti-restart controls carry UL 508A; it’s a meaningful safety and compliance differentiator that inspectors and insurance carriers actually recognize.

GS-104 is the base anti-restart control. GS-104 MBAP and MBAI add DC braking — when the e-stop is pressed, the system shorts the motor coils to stop residual spindle spin instead of letting it coast. Useful on saws, drills, and other rotating equipment where you need a complete stop before opening guards.

Match voltage (120V vs 240V), phase (single vs three), and motor horsepower. If you’re unsure, call us — we’ll size it correctly. Wrong sizing is a safety issue we’d rather catch before you order.

Yes. Custom-sized fences, scissor gates, mesh enclosures, and rear guarding designed in-house and installed by our field engineers. Send us your machine type, footprint, and any photos — we’ll engineer the solution.

We’re adding basic light curtain sizes and safety mat sizes to the catalog. For anything beyond standard sizing, or if you’re not sure which device fits your application, call us first — wrong selection in safety devices is a problem we want to prevent.

Yes. Walk-through assessments machine-by-machine with a written report and recommendations. Useful for OSHA prep, insurance audits, or building a safety remediation plan.

Standard catalog items in unused, original condition may be returned within 30 days subject to a restocking fee. Custom-engineered systems and special orders are non-returnable. Contact us before initiating a return.

For established customers, yes. New customer terms vary — let us know your purchasing process and we’ll work it out on the quote.

Call (281) 265-2832 during business hours (Mon-Fri 8a-5p CT). Lazer Safe systems and common spare parts stocked stateside.

Most of our work is in the U.S. International requests case-by-case — let us know what you need.
