4.5 Protected field modes
4 Function Description
4.5.4 Box bending with back gauge protected field mode
Box bending with back gauge protected field mode4-Funktion_Schutzfeldmodus_Kastembiegen_mit_Anschlag
With box bending with back gauge protected field mode, both the rear 
and front segments of the protected fields are blanked. This protected 
field mode is applied for workpieces that need to be bended several 
times, e.g. boxes, and when the rear back gauge extends into the vicin-
ity of the bending line. Interruption of the front and rear segments is to 
be expected and does not cause the press stroke to stop.
The central segments of the protected field are behind the bending line. 
The box's side panels must not encroach into the central segments.
If the central segments of the protected field are interrupted, the OSSDs 
switch to the OFF state.

The box bending with back gauge protected field mode is only active for 
one press stroke and must be acknowledged by the operator before it is 
initiated.

WARNING!
Crushing and trapping of fingers or hands!
With box bending with back gauge protected field mode, both 
the front and rear segments of the protected fields are blanked.
Around the bending line there is an increased risk of crushing 
and trapping of fingers or hands.
Make sure that the workpiece is handled correctly (see 
Chapter 3, “Safety”).
