02 — When and how

From the inspection to the new CE marking.

It often starts with a safety inspection: decommission or upgrade. A well-built press brake deserves the upgrade.

When it’s needed

  • Original safety devices discontinued: non-Type 4 light curtains, electromechanical muting.
  • Safety mats or two-hand controls that are no longer compliant or not monitored.
  • An internal or external inspection that flags issues on the machine.
