Rockford Systems to host Oct. 17 webinar on press brake safeguarding

Rockford Systems LLC, Rockford, Ill., a provider of machine safeguarding products and services, will host a webinar titled "Safeguarding Press Brakes: Light Curtains vs. Laser AOPD," on Tuesday, Oct. 17, from 10 to 11 a.m. CDT.

This free, interactive webinar will take an in-depth look at the evolution of press brake safety. Laser AOPD (active opto-electronic protective devices) will be highlighted, with focus on the new Sentinel Plus press brake guarding system featuring RapidBend™ Plus technology. It works with flat sheets and box profile parts so the machine can close at high speed down to 2 mm above the material.

The webinar will be led by Gary Holdson, technical support manager at THCO. Participants will be able to pose their questions live while the webinar is still in progress. To register, visit www.rockfordsystems.com.
