# Roto-Die Light Curtain Safety System

Feb 2, 2018 | by Emily DiGirolamo

In consideration of operator safety as well as OSHA compliance, we offer a [Light Curtain Safety System](https://www.formtektemp.com/mestekmachinery/machines/roto-die-safety-system) for [Roto-Die Hydraulic Benders](https://www.formtektemp.com/mestekmachinery/machines/model-10-press-brake) that meets ANSI B11.3. This safety system is available on new machines and can be retrofitted on most existing single pump Roto-Die machines.

Features include:

- A new main control panel including lockout/tagout requirements
- 12” Category 4 Light Curtain to offer maximum protection above the upper punch and below the lower die.
- Dual Self-Monitoring Electronic Solenoid Valves
- Dual Proximity Sensors for Muting Function
- Push-button operator station
- Front fixed-guard for added safety in the die area
- New piping, high-pressure fittings and all required hardware
- Manual jog of upper die remains intact

**For existing Roto-Die owners:**

The business owner shall be responsible for ensuring that safeguarding is provided, installed, maintained, and used for all individuals involved in the production process. As the current user of a [Roto-Die](https://www.formtektemp.com/mestekmachinery/portfolio_category/rd-sheet-metal-machines-brakes) Hydraulic Bender, you are responsible for the safety of each person that operates this hydraulic bender. Since 2007, Roto-Die has offered a Light Curtain System available for purchase. Our system not only meets ANSI B11.3, but can also be retrofitted to your existing [Roto-Die Hydraulic Bender](https://www.formtektemp.com/mestekmachinery/machines/model-10-press-brake).
