Triad Controls
Triad Controls Package 1

Package 1 allows an operator to engage and disengage the mechanical friction clutch on a mechanical press brake with the existing mechanical pedal. The light is activated at the top of the stroke (Top Stop) when the operator depresses the mechanical foot treadle and the ram begins its downward travel.

This is the hazardous portion of the stroke. The light curtain stays on and the machine cycles until the light curtain is interrupted by the operator or passerby.

When interrupted, the solenoid valve is de-energized and the air is dumped from the air cylinder causing the press brake to stop and the mechanical foot pedal to fall to the floor.

When the interruption is cleared, the SuperLight VI light system automatically resets and the foot pedal gently rises to continue the machine cycle. The operator has total control on the machine cycling speed and the forming speed, (Slow-forming) as they currently do by retaining the mechanical pedal as the actuating device.

Triad Controls Package 2100 Package 2100 Control incorporates single stroke function with Select-o-Stop and ram control functions. This converts mechanically actuated press brakes to electrical foot switch actuation and gives the press brake automatic slow forming capability. Excellent for the long run and small piece part production shop where uniform piece part forming is required. Meets current OSHA standards for control reliability and component monitoring and also incorporates brake monitoring.
Triad Controls Package 2101 Package 2101 is for converting mechanical press brakes currently being actuated by a mechanical treadle. This system provides two-hand, foot operation which converts the press to electric foot pedal operation. System has single stroke, and is foot actuated with Select-O-Stop and automatic ram control. Excellent for the job shop for the versatility needed in short runs. Meets current OSHA standards for control reliability and component monitoring and also incorporates brake monitoring.
Triad Controls Package 2110 Package 2110 allows the press brake to be operated as a partial revolution punch press. The controls meet all current standards for control reliability and component monitoring and also incorporates brake monitoring. The normal operating procedure is the same as a partial revolution punch press.
  • Operator inserts workpiece into the die area.

  • Operator clears body parts from hazardous zone.

  • Operator initiates the ram cycle.

  • Ram cycles and stops at top stop.

  • Operator then removes workpiece from die area.
  • Triad Controls Package 2200

    Package 2200 is designed for the air clutch press brake that requires the controls to be updated to meet current control reliability standards. The controls are designed to meet these standards for forming operations and also for air clutch press brakes which are used for punching, piercing, or notching operations. Triad SuperLight VI can be added to this control to obtain proper point of operation guardings.

    Operator depresses foot switch and ram descends at fast speed to Select-O-Stop position 1/4" above the workpiece. Work piece is realigned or slow-forming mode of the press brake is actuated. At this time the point of operation guard is muted-out until ram returns to top stop position. This control is designed to retain current press brake functions and to incorporate control reliability and component monitoring.

    Select-O-Stop is a keyed function that is activated by the calibrated switch actuator which is mounted on the side of the ram. Select-O-Stop allows the operator to bring the ram down in fast speed to a preset position which is 1/4" above the material being formed and will automatically stop the ram.

    This gives the operator the opportunity to realign the work piece and then slow form the workpiece if desired. Select-O-Stop is a keyed function on/off on main control panel.

    Triad Controls Package 3122 Package 3122 updates the controls on air clutch press brakes to meet current OSHA standards for control reliability and component monitoring. It also incorporates the two hand/foot thru method of guarding the point of operation. The control also incorporates brake monitoring.
