device!
If you connect loads that are not reverse-polarity protected to the OSSDs or the safety
outputs, you must connect the 0 V connections of these loads and those of the corresponding protective device individually and directly to the same 0 V terminal strip. This is the only way to ensure that, in the event of a defect, there can be no potential difference between the 0 V connections of the loads and those of the corresponding protective device.

The term "dangerous state"
In the drawings in these operating instructions, the dangerous state (standard term) of the machine is always represented as a movement of a machine part. In practical operation there may be a number of different dangerous states:
Machine movements
Electrical conductors
Visible or invisible radiation
A combination of several risks and hazards
Representation of the signals for teach-in, alignment mode and selection of protective volume mode
These operating instructions also describe the V4000 PB input and output signals. As a way of uniquely representing the signals for teach-in, alignment mode and selection of protective volume mode (input signals), tactile switching amplifiers (buttons, switches) are used. The signals can be generated at the inputs of the V4000 PB by, for example, foot switches, alignment buttons, teach-in buttons, selector switches and key-operated switches or by the corresponding switching elements on the HMI of the press controller.

On safety

2 On safety

This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the operators.
> Read this chapter carefully before working with the V4000 PB or with the machine
protected by the V4000 PB.

2.1 Specialist personnel

The V4000 PB must be mounted, connected, commissioned and serviced only by specialist personnel. Specialist personnel are defined as persons who
due to their technical training and experience possess sufficient knowledge in the field
of safety equipment for making press brakes safe
and
who have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
have sufficient familiarity with the relevant national industrial safety regulations, work
safety regulations, directives and the generally recognised code of practice of the industry (for example, DIN standards, VDE specifications, technical codes of other EC member states) that they can judge whether the press brake is safe from the occupational safety point of view
and
have access to and have read these operating instructions.
As a rule these will be specialist personnel, the manufacturer of the ESPE or even such persons who have been given the corresponding training by the ESPE manufacturer, who are mainly concerned with inspecting and testing ESPEs and have been commissioned by the ESPE operator in this regard.

2.2 Applications of the system

The V4000 PB is an ESPE (electro-sensitive protective equipment) device designed to protect the area beneath the die of press brakes at high closing speeds. As soon as an object enters the protective volume beneath the die, the ESPE issues the signal to the press controller to stop the fast closing movement and this system must then stop the closing movement.
The V4000 PB system consists of a sender and a receiver which are mounted on the press crosshead. The protective volume between the sender and the receiver moves with the press crosshead and thus ensures that the safeguarded area stays beneath the die.
The system is a Type 4 ESPE as defined by to IEC 61 496-1 and 2 and is therefore allowed for use with controls of safety category 4 in compliance with EN 954-1. It may be used in safety applications up to SIL 3 in accordance with IEC 61 508.

Chapter 2 Operating instructions
V4000 PB
On safety
Use of the V4000 PB in the open air or explosion hazard areas is not permitted. The V4000 PB can only be used in normal industrial environments.
Do not use the V4000 PB as a separating protective measure!
a
WARNING
An opto-electronic protective device provides indirect protection, e.g., by switching off the power at the source of the hazard. It cannot provide protection neither from parts thrown out, nor from emitted radiation. Transparent objects are not detected.
Depending on its applications, mechanical protective devices may be needed in addition to the V4000 PB.

2.3 Correct use of the system

The V4000 PB system is intended to be used solely at a fixed location on press brakes and may only be used as defined by Section only by specialist personnel and only on the machine where it has been mounted and initially commissioned by specialist personnel in accordance with these operating instructions.
SICK AG accepts no claims for liability if the equipment is used in any other way or if modifications are made to the device, even in the context of mounting and installation.

Dangers which the V4000 PB does not protect against!
The different ways in which the press brake can be used in manufacturing means that indirect dangers may arise. Please observe and comply with the following points in order to protect yourself against dangers during machine operation.
The V4000 PB safeguards the hazardous point beneath the die at high closing speeds (over 10 mm/s) or irrespective of the speed up to a gap of 6 mm. The maximum height of the protective volume up to the lower edge of the die is 26 mm.
Maximum protection is provided in standard protective volume mode.
In the case of box-bending or back-stop operation, use of a restricted protective volume is possible. With this kind of work, the reduced dimensions of the protective volume means that only limited protection against getting caught or crushed is possible.
If parts of the body are brought into the hazardous point within a box, they will only be detected behind the tolerance zone around the pressure axis. There is a danger of injury by being caught or crushed.
For a time interval of 100–150 ms (just before the gap height of 6 mm is reached) there is the possibility of an object which is moving into the space between the die and the workpiece being crushed.
Correct handling of the workpiece
By handling the sheet properly you can avoid your hands or fingers being caught or crushed.

3.2.1 Protection principle of the V4000 PB

Fig.

V4000 PB
Press crosshead
Receive
Die
Female die
Illumination field protective volume
Sende
The V4000 PB consists of a sender and a receiver mounted on the press crosshead.
A light beam of light (illumination field) between sender and receiver forms a three­dimensional protective field (protective volume) beneath the die tip measuring 40 mm wide and 26 mm high. The protective volume follows the movement of the press crosshead and in this way provides a travelling safety zone beneath the die tip.
The V4000 PB has three different kinds of protective volume (standard, box and back­stop). These protective volumes differ in their dimensions and in their functions.
Should there be a partial or complete interruption of the protective volume by an object, the output signal switching devices (OSSDs) of the ESPE which are integrated in the receiver change over to the OFF state and generate a two-channel monitored switch-off signal to the press controller which then must stop the closing movement of the press crosshead with the die.
The evaluation and run concepts of the V4000 PB have been designed so that the ESPE constantly checks its internal expected position (which depends on the operating mode, the press crosshead position and the speed) against the actual external situation. Only when the expected position is identical to the actual circumstances will the OSSDs remain in the ON state. Any other result will put the OSSDs into the OFF state.

V4000 PB
Product description
The V4000 PB safeguards the hazardous point beneath the die at high closing speeds (> 10 mm/s) and a pass-through gap height of more than 6 mm. If the gap height between the top of the workpiece and the die tip is 6 mm or less, the ESPE switches automatically into muting mode.
If the muting option is activated at a low closing speed ( 10 mm/s), the system will automatically go into muting mode even when the slow closing speed is reached. The speed is monitored continuously.
In the muting state, the protective volume is inactive and the OSSDs stay in the ON state.
Note
Whether muting is permitted at the slow closing speed varies from country to country. This option is by default disabled in the configuration.
In the event of system errors (such as an error being detected when the hardware is tested) the V4000 PB switches into lock-out state.

3.3 Range of use

The V4000 PB is an ESPE (electro-sensitive protective equipment) device designed to protect the area beneath the die of press brakes at high closing speeds, it provides hand and fingers protection.
The V4000 PB is suitable for stationary use in press brakes with a maximum distance of
7.5 m between the sender and the receiver.
The press brake must be designed to comply with the maximum stopping distance of 11 m.
This corresponds, for example, to a maximum overall machine overrun of 8.5 mm at a maximum closing speed of 300 mm/s (see also Section closing speed vcrawl from the pinch point").
Requirements for use of the V4000 PB
Before the V4000 PB can carry out its protective functions the following conditions must be met:
It must be possible to influence the control of the press brake by electrical means.
The OSSDs of the V4000 PB must be incorporated into the press controller in such a way
that when the OSSDs give the switch-off signal:
– the dangerous state (high closing speed of > 10 mm/s) is stopped.
or
– the press, should the lock-out state occur, does not start up again.
The V4000 PB must be mounted and configured in such a way that it can detect objects
when they penetrate into the hazardous point.

V4000 PB
Product description
The laser diode in the sender emits light which is collected at the transmitting lens and given parallel alignment. The beam of light, which has a constant diameter of 58 mm (illumination field), travels along the lower side of the die to the receiver. In the receiver the light beam is mapped at the image detector.
The evaluation electronics with all relevant inputs and outputs is built into the receiver. Two output switching elements (OSSDs), which go into the OFF state when the sensor function is triggered, pass on the signal for stopping the closing movement (high closing speed > 10 mm/s).

V4000 PB
Product description

3.4.4 PBI (press brake interface)

Fig. 12: PBI (press brake interface)
The incremental measurement guides of the press controller register the movement of the
press crosshead. The speed and direction of movement of the press crosshead and the
overall machine overrun are calculated by the V4000 PB from the signals of one
measurement guide and from other measured data (such as time).
The measurement guide is connected to the V4000 PB via the PBI in the control cabinet. At the interface with the press controller the PBI taps onto the signals of the measurement guide, decouples them and passes them on to the receiver.
Position detection must be checked to ensure it is working properly. The V4000 PB monitors whether the signals (increments) from the measurement guide have a logical order – in other words, whether they can be interpreted unambiguously as upward or downward movement or standstill.
Example
If a start signal for the closing movement is detected by the safety-relevant inputs, it will be assumed that the press brake is moving after a period of delay (start-up delay). If there is no movement – in other words, the signals from the PBI cannot be unambiguously interpreted as movement – the V4000 PB assumes that there is a fault in position detection, switches the OSSDs into the OFF state, and goes into lock-out state.
The system will not change into the muting state unless the measurement system is delivering correct information which agrees with the expected values.

Product description

3.4.6 External operating elements

For controlling the V4000 PB external signals are required. The V4000 PB has the corresponding signal inputs for:
Starting the closing or opening movements of the press brake
Requesting alignment mode
Requesting or confirming teach-in
Selecting the protective volume mode (standard, box, back-stop)
Requesting bypass mode
The signals are generated either by operating elements such as buttons or selector switches or by the outputs of the press controller (e.g. NC).
How these various possibilities are actually implemented (for example, foot switch, alignment button, teach-in button, selector switch and key-operated switch, or corresponding switching elements on the MMI of the press controller) falls within the area of responsibility of the user.
All switching elements should be large and sturdy. It must be possible to operate them reliably and simply while wearing gloves.

3.5.1 Source of the operator signals

With the CDS the V4000 PB can be configured to accept operator signals (alignment, teach-in, reset, and selection of the protective mode) either from the CDS software or from external touch elements such as buttons or selector switches. Use of CDS to provide these operator signals requires a dedicated permanent (on-line) communication interface between the V4000 PB and CDS via a RS-232 port.
Another method for providing operator signals to the V4000 PB is via the HMI of the numerical control. These signals could be collected via touch buttons connected to the NC interface or via software buttons on the HMI console.
Signals of the operating elements of the CDS overwrite signals of the external operating elements. There could be inconsistencies between the system state and the state of the V4000 PB.

The V4000 PB has an internal time monitor for certain functions. The time monitor should ensure a regular check is made in the case of uninterrupted operation. The start times are saved and compared with the current state. If the time for a particular function has elapsed, a corresponding operator action will be requested.
Following an interruption to the supply voltage all times will be reset to zero.
The V4000 PB monitors the time since the last power-up cycle and requests a new power­up cycle if the configured value (≤ 24 h) is exceeded.

3.5.5 Mounting of receiver

In back-stop mode, the active protective volume segment as seen from the operator side is behind the pressure axis.
In order to place the active protective volume correctly, it is necessary to specify during configuration on which side of the press brake (as seen from the operator side) the receiver is mounted.

3.5.6 Speed-dependent muting

Any one of the following conditions will result in automatic muting of the V4000 PB (inactivation of the protective volume):

In addition a closing movement at a low closing speed v the system to go automatically into muting mode provided this option has been enabled during configuration.
The closing speed is continually monitored. If the slow closing speed v the muting state, muting will be deactivated and the protective volume activated.
With automatic muting at the slow closing speed v close at slow closing speed despite an interruption of the protective volume.
If slow closing speed v interrupted, the press will be stopped. After this the press brake can be closed at slow closing speed via the press controller and a new start signal.
If slow closing speed has already been reached when the protective volume is interrupted, a new start signal will not be needed.
If a slow closing speed ( 10 mm/s) is permitted by the applicable regulations as the sole protective measure, the option may be activated by the machine setter. In ANSI standard B11.3 "Safety Requirements for Power Press Brakes" the slow closing speed ( 10 mm/s) is not specified as the sole protective measure!

3.5.7 Position-sensing system

The measurement guides (incremental encoders) of the press controller register the position of the press crosshead.
Increments per mm stroke
The V4000 PB requires the resolution of the incremental encoder [INC/mm] in order to calculate the speed and direction of movement of the press crosshead and the overall machine overrun from the signals of one measurement guide and from other measured data (such as time).
The incremental encoder must support two channels with at least 45 INC/mm and a maximum of 300 INC/mm at a closing speed of 300 mm/s. The recommendation is 50 INC/mm.
The specifications of the encoder manufacturer can differ from those for the V4000 PB. If, for example, pulses/mm or a resolution of 10 μm is specified, these have to be converted into increments/mm.

3.5.8 External device monitoring (EDM)

The EDM checks if the contacts actually de-energise when the protective device responds.
If an external device monitor is present, external device monitoring must be activated in the CDS. The V4000 PB will then check the contacts every time the protective volume is interrupted and before the press brake restarts.
The external device monitor can tell whether a contact is welded or whether a contact/ relay has not de-energised due to a different mechanical fault. If, due to the failure of a contactor, the system cannot go into a safe operating state the OSSDs will go into the OFF state, the V4000 PB changes to lock-out state and a reset becomes necessary.

During the power-up cycle, the overall machine overrun following an emergency stop (transition from the high closing speed to standstill) is also determined. The travel for determining the overall machine overrun is the distance the press requires to accelerate to the high closing speed.
The CDS includes a default value of 30 mm for the maximum travel for determining the overall machine overrun.

3.5.16 Standstill time for determining the top dead centre

The V4000 PB recognises when the opening movement of the press has ended in the operating cycle – in other words, when the top dead centre has been reached.
Should the press crosshead make no further upward movement for a specific, configured period of time (standstill time), the V4000 PB will assume that the top dead centre has been reached.
Detection of the top dead centres is only necessary during the power-up cycle. The top dead centre is not monitored and not reaching it is permitted during production operation.

3.5.17 Start delay for closing movement

If a start signal for the closing movement is detected by the safety-relevant inputs, it will be assumed that the press brake is moving after a period of delay. If there is no movement – in other words, the signals from the PBI cannot be unambiguously interpreted as movement – the V4000 PB assumes that there is a fault in position detection.
The time delay between the start signal to the V4000 PB for the closing movement and the actual movement of the press brake depends on the switching times of the individual components of the press.

3.5.24 Bypass

In bypass mode the press brake can be operated without the V4000 PB protective device being activated.
To activate bypass mode, the bypass function is enabled in the configuration and the outputs of the bypass function at the receiver connected with its inputs.
In bypass mode the OSSDs are in the ON state and all displays on the receiver are switched off. The V4000 PB does not generate any output signals (request for target speed, request for teach-in).
The bypass is deactivated by breaking the electrical connection between output and input. After the bypass mode is deactivated, the V4000 PB changes to the restart interlock and requests a new power-up cycle.
The operator is responsible for the use and perfect functioning of additional safety devices which ensure the safe operation of the press brake (for example, the use of robots for handling materials).

3.6 Protective operation

In protective operation the V4000 PB safeguards the hazardous point beneath the die during the operating cycle at high closing speed (>10 mm/s).
Operating states within protective operation
The following operating states are available within protective operation:
Power-up cycle
Teach-in
Production operation
The following is true for all operating states:
The protective volume is active and is monitored for interruption.
The position, direction of movement, speed and overall machine overrun are monitored
and evaluated.
Protective volume modes in protective operation
Within protective operation there are also three protective volume modes available which make it possible to adjust the protective volume to best suit the current bending job:
Standard mode
Box mode
Back-stop mode

3.6.1 Power-up cycle

In the power-up cycle the overall machine overrun at high closing speed and, if possible, the braking distance (the transition from high closing speed to target speed) are determined for monitoring during press operation. Following this the teach-in procedure is carried out.
During the power-up cycle the protective volume is active.
The power-up cycle is requested by the V4000 PB after every switch-on or reset of the
V4000 PB.
At least once every 24 hours (in the case of continuous press operation) the V4000 PB
system automatically requests the power-up cycle.
The operator confirms the power-up cycle by giving the teach-in signal via the press
controller or external operating elements.

Product description

3.6.2 Teach-in

During teach-in the pinch point (which depends on the thickness of the material or the relative position of the top surface of the workpiece) is determined. The die contacts the workpiece at the pinch point. From the pinch point the positions for the switch-over and muting points are calculated.
During teach-in the protective volume is active.
The operator or the V4000 PB system can request teach-in.
The pinch point is monitored during each stroke of the press. The V4000 PB detects
when the position of the pinch point does not correspond to the value last determined. The system then requests teach-in which the operator must confirm via the controller or an external operating element.
Note
V4000 PB calculates from the pinch point all safety-relevant parameters (switch-over and muting points). For this reason, following a change of material the safety-relevant parameters will no longer apply.
This means that you will need to carry out the teach-in procedure every time the workpiece material changes.

3.6.3 Protective volume modes in protective operation

Fig. 20: Protective volume in standard mode
Standard mode
Standard mode is used when flat workpieces are to be bent and it is not expected that at high closing speed the protective volume will be interrupted by the shape of the workpiece.
In standard mode the entire protective volume is monitored for interruption.

Up until the time when the protective volume is interrupted by the top of the box the entire protective volume is checked for interruption (as in standard mode).
In the case of the protective volume being interrupted from one side, either in front of or behind the pressure axis, this interruption will automatically be interpreted as the box wall. In box mode the corresponding segment of the protective volume and a tolerance zone (positioned centrally on the pressure axis) will be blanked automatically and the closing movement will not be stopped.
If the protective volume is interrupted in both segments (in front of and behind the pressure axis), this will initiate a stop signal which must stop the movement of the press crosshead.
Since in box-bending the side walls of the box can project behind the pressure axis, the tolerance zone at the pressure axis is blanked.

3.8 Alignment mode

The alignment operating mode helps the operator in aligning the sender and the receiver.
When commissioning and every time there is a change of tooling, the sender and receiver need to be mechanically aligned with respect to each other beneath the die and with respect to the die tip.
The operator uses the alignment masks and the 7-segment display to align the sender and receiver exactly to each other and determines the optimum alignment of the protective
Note

The following applies to alignment mode:
The protective volume is not active.
The OSSDs are in the OFF state.
The operator has no protection from the V4000 PB.
In alignment mode the laser is visible. The V4000 PB meets the requirements of laser protection class 1 M. There is no hazard for the operator.

4.1 Steps for mounting

Pay particular attention to the following points during mounting:
> Mount the V4000 PB so that it is protected against moisture, contamination and
damage.
> Ensure that the viewing field of the front lenses is not restricted.
> In the case of machines with high vibration levels, use a screw-locking compound to
ensure mounting screws do not work themselves loose.
> Check the mounting screws regularly to ensure they are still tight.
Note
Fig. 24: Groove for accommodating the sliding nut
The sender and the receiver are mounted on the press crosshead in the same way.

4.1.1 Mounting the sender or receiver using SICK mounting kit 1

Preparation of the bracket on the press crosshead:
The SICK mounting kit 1 consists of an alignment plate with a sliding nut.
Your bracket on the press crosshead must have a corresponding groove (for dimensions, see Fig. 24). The groove must be at least 100 mm long. In addition a free space must be left for the front mounting bolt of the sender or receiver.

5.5 External device monitoring (EDM)

The EDM checks if the contacts actually de-energise when the protective device responds. If, after an attempted reset, the EDM does not detect a response from the switching amplifier within 300 ms, the EDM will deactivate the OSSD switching outputs again.
External device monitoring is implemented in such a way that there is positive closing of both N/C contacts (k1, k2) when the contact elements (K1, K2) reach their de-energised position after the protective device has responded. 24 V is then applied at the input of the EDM (see means one of the contact elements is faulty and the external device monitoring prevents the machine starting up again.
Contacts or relays monitored by EDM must be positively driven.
If you connect the contact elements to be monitored to the EDM input, then you must
activate the option EDM in the CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software). If you fail to do so, after the V4000 PB is switched on the 7-segment display will show /.
If you later deselect the EDM option, pin 6 of the system plug must not remain
connected to 24 V.

5.6 Bypass

In bypass mode the press brake can be operated without an activated V4000 PB protective device. In bypass mode the OSSDs are in the ON state and all displays on the receiver are switched off. The V4000 PB does not generate any output signals (target­speed request, teach-in request).
To activate bypass mode, the bypass function should be enabled in the configuration and the outputs of the bypass function at the receiver connected with its inputs.
The bypass is disabled by interrupting the electrical connection. When bypass mode is disabled, the V4000 PB goes into restart interlock and requests a power-up cycle.

If you connect the bypass, you must activate the bypass function in the CDS (Configuration & Diagnostic Software). Should implausible states of the two input signals occur, the 7-segment display will show the error message TO/.
The operator is responsible for the use and perfect functioning of additional safety devices which ensure the safe operation of the press brake (such as using robots for material handling).

7.1 Test notes

The purpose of the tests described below is to confirm the safety requirements specified in the national and international rules and regulations, especially in the Machinery Directive and the Use of Work Equipment Directive (EC Conformity).
These tests are also intended as a way of detecting whether protection is being affected by sources of extraneous light or by other unusual environmental influences.
It is therefore essential that these tests be carried out.

7.2 Aligning sender and receiver

7.2.1 Initial alignment

Sender and receiver must be aligned exactly with respect to each other and with respect to the die of the press brake in order to ensure the safety function of the sensor. This is done with the alignment masks in alignment mode.
How to prepare for initial alignment:
> Ensure that the V4000 PB is properly mounted and connected electrically.
> Ensure that the press is fitted with at least one die segment.
> Switch on the power supply to the V4000 PB.
To increase the accuracy of initial alignment, the press crosshead should be fitted with one die segment at the right-hand edge and one at the left.
The laser is visible in alignment mode. The V4000 PB meets the requirements of laser protection class 1M. The operator is not at any risk.
> Do not look into the laser beam with optical devices (such as a binoculars).

With the aid of a steel plate with three notches (auxiliary alignment plate) which is mounted between the front bolts and three notches in the alignment plate, the sender can be rotated on the horizontal plane ±3° out of its central position. Here the sender rotates in the slots in the alignment plate – in other words, the sensor is turned on the rear bolts and relative to the alignment plate.
When aligning the sender, make sure that the nuts of the bolts on which the alignment plate is mounted are only tightened up handtight. The spring washers will provide the necessary tension.
> Insert the blade of a screwdriver (blade 4) into the middle notch of the alignment plate
or steel plate.
> Turn the screwdriver blade slowly clockwise or anti-clockwise in the middle notch until

Note
From the pinch point the V4000 PB calculates all safety-relevant parameters (switch-over point and muting point). For this reason the safety-relevant parameters cease to apply after a change of material.
> This means you should carry out teach-in every time a material is changed.
Teach-in cannot be carried out unless the standard protective volume mode has been previously selected. Once this has been done, teach-in can be carried out in any protective volume mode.
If the V4000 PB does not detect the pinch point or does so only after a repeated request for teach-in, use the magnetic plate supplied to cover the female die opening beneath the workpiece.
The magnetic plate should be flush with the top surface of the female die. It must not project above the level of the workpiece surface.

a
WARNING
The V4000 PB is maintenance-free. The V4000 PB does not contain any repairable components.
> Do not attempt to disassemble the V4000 PB for repair.
> Return a defective unit to the manufacturer.
Notes
The front lenses of the sender and receiver should not be cleaned unless they are dirty.
To avoid damage to the V4000 PB do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
Cleaning the front lenses:
> Use a clean brush to remove dust from the front lens.
> Spray the lens with glass cleaning liquid containing alcohol so that the front lens is
wetted but no droplets form on the lens.
> To remove hard particles of grit or the like from the lens, carefully dab away the liquid
with the SICK lens cloth (SICK part no. 4 003 353).
> Spray the front lens again and with a dry part of the cloth wipe off the lens. Do not apply
pressure to remove the liquid since hard particles could then scratch the lens.
> After cleaning, check the positions of the sender and receiver to ensure the safety
function of the sensor is still present. If necessary, re-align the sender and receiver (see Section
> Carry out a function check (see Section
7.2 "Aligning sender and receiver").
7.3 "Function check").
