Safe4 Safeguards Tube Forming Machines

Tube forming is a manufacturing process where tubes or pipes are manufactured. In this case, the tubes are produced so that they are trumpet-shaped or flared at both ends. The German automobile component supplier uses this process for the production of car seats. Here, tubes are flared using tumbling equipment and fixed as struts in the backrest of the car seat. To ensure the operator is not at risk from the moving tool holder, Faurecia installed the Safe4 safety light curtain as a cascading sys- tem. The cascading system enables vertical and horizontal monitor- ing with only one integrated controller. According to Ulrich Blank, the project leader from CEDES GmbH in Germany, Faurecia were incredibly impressed with, among other things, the optimal flexibility and price-performance ratio of the Safe4 system.
