FIESSLER Safety instructions 1
ELEKTRONIK Please observe always
This is the operating instruction for all AKAS models (AKAS-I [before AKAS],
AKAS-LC,and AKAS-II.
Special instructions for each model are provided with its individual model marking.
Attention is drawn to all safety instructions by this symbol. Particular attention must be paid to such instructions.
These operating instructions provide to the user important information concerning the correct use of the AKAS
Read the operating instructions with switching unit LSUW N1 Muting K. These instructions are a component of the light barrier concerned. It is
essential that they are easily available at the location where the safety light barrier is installed.
All requirements detailed in these operating instructions must be observed.
Other relevant regulations and the requirements of the employers' liability insurance associations have also to
be complied with.
Before the initial operation of the AKAS, the operating instructions must be read.
Qualified persons Mounting, initial operation and maintenance may only be performed by qualified persons.
Safety warning Light barriers do not protect anybody from machine-caused flying objects.
The AKAS protects fingers and hands that hold the sheet during the operation. Therefore it does not protect
during any fast engagement between the bending punch and the matrix short time before those are
closed. The protection function of the system is canceld when the Muting lamp is on.
The front beam which is turned to the operator does not protect, if the box-bending function has been
activated earlier.
When using the switching unit LSUW N1 Muting K, the main voltage must be switched off prior to the removing
of the switching unit. There are voltage conducting parts in the base and in the terminal strip of the switching
A-Test: unit.
putting into operation
TEST
The setting must be done in a way that the following test will be passed:
- The B-Test must be done for safety each 5 times on the left end and on the right end of the upper tool.
- The press brake must be equipped complete with the heaviest upper tool.
- Start of the closing movement from the maximum top dead centre (T.D.C)
B-Test: daily check

(at least every 24 hours) At the beginning of each shift and after each change of tools, the AKAS press brakes protection must
be checked as follows (see also pr EN 12622.2002):
Test must be carried out at both left and right ends of the bending punch.The punch must not touch
the step-shaped test rod.
a.) Place the test piece in position "10" on the lower tool.
Now start the close down movement.
b.) The press brake stops.
c.) The test piece must be placed in position "15" under the upper tool. In this position ("15") the test
piece may not touch the upper tool.
d.) Drive up the press brake. Place the the test piece in position "35" on the lower tool.
Now start the close down movement.
e.) The press brake must be stopped in a way that the test piece ("35") may not touch the upper tool.
f.) Move the test piece ("14") along the tip of the upper tool. The AKAS-II receiver has to be
interrupted (LS unterbrochen /interrupted = red LED).

ELEKTRONIK
Electrosensitive protective The press brake protection AKAS is an electrosensitive protective device (ESPE).
equipement ESPE is characterised by the fact that a hazardous motion becomes interrupted or prevented if the light beams
produced between the transmitter and receiver unit are interrupted.
Safety category 4 The AKAS fulfils the safety category 4, in compliance with EN 954.
Devices of safety category 4 are self-monitoring electrosensitive protective devices (ESPE) and represent the
highest safety class among the ESPE
Self-monitoring The electrosensitive protective device (ESPE) switches automatically into the "safe state" when it is faulty.
Standard Installation range Maximum distance between transmitter and receiver is 6 m ( For longer range please get in contact with
Fiessler Elektronik or your local dealer).
Overrun The part of the hazardous motion still taking place after interrupting the light beam.
Overrun traverse The distance covered during the overrun (e.g. by the ram of a press).
Overrun period The duration of the overrun traverse.
Response time The time that elapsed after light beam interruption until the switching action occurs.
Valve or contactor control Before every release of the output contacts the contactor control is checking whether the switching elements
connected (relays, contactors or valves) have been released. A renewed release of the
output contacts is only possible if the switching elements connected have been released. Thus a dangerous fai-
lure of switching-elements (relays, contactors or valves) caused by the hazardous motion is prevented.
Start interlock After initial operation or after a power supply interruption a renewed "enabling" is blocked by the start inter-
lock.The renewed release of the switching unit is only possible by closing and opening of the start entry.
Restart interlock The restart interlock prevents any automatic releasing of the switching outputs after an interruption and
re-enabling of the light beam (e.g. when penetrating the light beam).
Muting Short-time safe by-pass of the press brake protection AKAS during material movement, i.e. during a plate ben-
ding process.
boxbending By-pass of the receiver unit E1 during a box-bending process.

Prerequisites for using the
FIESSLER press brake protection AKAS 3
ELEKTRONIK
- The hazardous state of a machine must be ended by using the sensor function.
- Any unintentional repetition of a hazardous motion must be safely prevented.
- The safety level (class 4) of the accident preventing light barrier should at least correspond to the safety level
of the control system of the machine.
- The overrun traverse including the response time of 25 ms must be less than 15 mm for AKAS-I and
AKAS-LC and than 14 mm for AKAS-II. The overrun traverse with AKAS is normally considerably shorter
than with Two-Hands Control, because the AKAS controls directly the valves.
- The pressbrake must have an automatic overrun-control for the first stroke. If not, Fiessler Elektronik offer the
system AMS.
- Laser beams may be deviated due to air currents, this may cause unwanted and unforeseen machine
stops.Therefore the machine must be erected at a place free of air currents.
- Acceptance test:
the installation acceptance test and inspections should be conducted by a competent person in possession
of all the information supplied by the manufacturer of the machine and the ESPE.
- Annual test:
The operator should ensure that a competent person is assigned to check the light barrier annually. This person
can be an employee either from the light-barrier manufacturer or from the operator's staff. The annual test shall be
fullfilled according the inspection sheet from page 43.
Upon customer's request, Fiessler Electronik will perform the initial acceptance as well as the annual test. Additio-
nally, customer training seminars on how to execute annual tests will be conducted at regular intervals.
Required signals Two muting signals must be supplied by the valve position control of the valve which is responsible for the slow
speed.
Alternative the AMS-system from Fiessler Elektronik can be used.
2 Muting contacts: potential free, may be closed only at a stroke speed 10 mm/s
and
23 mm before the bending punch meets the sheet metal (AKAS-I, AKAS-LC)
resp.
13 - 22 mm (depending of the overrun traverse of the press brake) before the bending
punch meets the sheet metal (AKAS-II)
till the end of the stroke.
It must comply with safety category 4 (EN 954).
2 normally closed contacts:potential free and forcible guided , only open during upward movement.
Muting lamp : max. 230V 60W min 24 V AC or DC min. 0,1A - max. 0,5 A .
Box-bending button : potentially free changeover contact.
Both muting signals must be connected by separate cables in order to exclude any short circuit, or the
layout of cables must be effected in a way that no mechanical damage of the cable may occur, thus
excluding any short circuit of the lead of the cable.
Caution !
If the muting lamp is not connected or defective, a short-out (=muting) is not possible.
Use only tools of equal overall height which have the same bending line in the same fixing.
(also look at chap. 6.1 mounting conditions).

FIESSLER 4
E L E K T R O N I K General instructions 4.1
The laser - accident preventing light barrier AKAS is an electro sensitive protective and controlling device
(ESPE) which has the function to protect operators from accidents.
This happens as follows : Before a part of the body is squeezed between two opposed moving machine parts,
this part of the body interrupts at least one light beam. By this means the movement of the machine is stopped,
before it comes to an injury.
AKAS
- meets IEC 1496, Type 4
- is self- monitoring without additionally wiring.
- easy to adjust after tool changing.
Operative range for the laser-accident preventing light barrier of the AKAS types are:
press brakes
In addition to the AKAS-I and AKAS-II with the electromotor driven supports for transmitter
and receiver for fast and easy tool change, the use of the AKAS -LC is recommended if the
press is operated using tools of equal heights or in case if extended operation with the same
tool is required, therefore no re-adjusting to different tool sizes is necessary. Fig.7/ 1

Principle of function The press brakes system AKAS-II is a laser-optical safety device. The system is combined securely with the ram.
If the ram moves, the system AKAS will move also with the ram (Fig. 7/2-7/4). The laser opical safety is fixed un-
derneath the ram Thereby the area underneath the ram is protected. (On upstriking presses, the AKAS is also
mounted at the ram.) If one of the beams is interrupted (Fig. 10/1), the system AKAS will switch off the movement
of the machine by the switching unit.

Description of box-bending If a box is bent, the previously bent side part of the box interrupts the light
or bending beam of the receiver element E1 right before this one will be muted by the
deaktiviert
of smallest workpieces muting order of the machine. The hazardous motion is interrupted, although
there is no part of the body in the dangerous area. To prevent this, the ope-
E1
rating mode "box-bending" must be announced to the system by operating
the "box-bending" button before bending a box. When releasing the button
the box-bending demand will be activated and the receiver element E1 gets E4
muted and deactivated. This condition is shown by two green LEDs at the E3
front plate of the receiver. However, the interruption of the light beam of E1 E2
by the walls of the box does not lead to a switching off of the downward mo-
vement (Fig. 11/2.2). The receiver elements E2, E3 and E4 (E4 only for Box side wall
AKAS-I, -LC) remain active until the muting signal mutes the receiver ele-
ments E1 and E2 and after 1,4 sec (AKAS-I, -LC) resp. 0,6 sec
(AKAS-II) the switching unit mutes the whole receiver. After the bending
process the function of box-bending (muting of E1) will be cancelled. bending line
Fig.11/ 1
With smallest pieces which must be led by the fingers for bending, the
function of box-bending must be selected, as otherwise the fingers would interrupt E1 and would lead to
the switching off of the bending process !

Pointer The light beams of the AKAS must be located in a certain distance to the ram. (For that see also chapter 6.5,
"adjustment instructions after changing the tool."). (Caution! Only tools of equal overall height may be used in one
fixing).
For using upper tools with different construction high transmitter and receiver of AKAS-I and AKAS-II are
mounted on electromotor driven supports. So an easy adjustment on the different tools is possible. (see Fig.

E L E K T R O N I K Mounting conditions 6.1
General instruction 6.1.1
Max. allowable overrun By the operation of the machine with AKAS, there must be an automatic monitoring device of the overrun tra-
traverse of the machine verse.
To achieve the shortest overrun traverse the contacts 16-17 and 20-21 must be connected as close as possible to
the valves which are responsible for the downward movement This enables a considerably shorter overrun traver-
se with AKAS than with the 2 hands-control system.
Before the initial start-up the overrun traverse must be checked either with a test piece (see page 4) or by
a measuring instrument of overrun traverse *.
If the results of 10 carried out measurements pass over 15mm (AKAS-I, -LC) resp. 14mm (AKAS-II) the
fast speed must be reduced.
*) On request, the company Fiessler Elektronik is prepared to perform measurements of overrun with
your machine.

Transmitter and receiver are mounted at the ram. They

must be mounted in a way that the mark of the receiver
is located directly at the bending line. The receiver ele-
ment E1 is turned towards the operator. Transmitter
and receiver of the AKAS are adjusted correctly if
they are shifted so far to the ram until the AKAS just
still switches to FREE and all adjusting controls are ex-
tinct (fig 28/4). That means that the beams of E4 touch
the ram.
In this position the distance between ram and lower re-

ceiver element E2 is only 20 mm .
E1
The evaluated diameter of the beam in the working di-
rection of the stroke amounts to 1 mm. E4
The max. allowable stop distance of the machine with
interruption of a beam of the AKAS in fast motion may E2
not exceed 15mm.

the operator.
Automatically the system AKAS-II adjust itself to the

needed distance to the upper tool. (See also chapt. 6.5

Saftey instructions 6.1.4
Muting signal If a light beam is interrupted by the sheet which is to be bent, the AKAS would stop the working stroke immedi-
ately. Therefore the AKAS must be muted before it gets interrupted by the sheet. Likewise, slightly uneven
sheets should not lead either to an unintended switching-off of the cutting movement. From an opening
of < 23 mm (AKAS-I, -LC)
resp.
from an opening corresponding to the recommended change over from fast speed to work speed (s. Fig. 21/2)
(AKAS-II)
there must be sent a muting signal to the receiver by the control system of the machine.
Then the control system of the machine must guarantee according to safety category 4, that from this ti-
me the stroke speed is < 10 mm/s.
The Muting lamp must be connected, otherwise a muting of the AKAS system is not possible !
The protection of a pressbrake by the AKAS does not permit a bending in the bottom of a box inside
one box in fast motion.
On press brake equipped with AKAS protection only tools of equal height may be used in one fixing.
All tools fixed together may have only one common bending line.
Stoppers, which are mounted at the matrix, lead to a premature switching-off of the downward
movement.
No protection by AKAS No protection by AKAS
Fig.22/ 1 Fig.22/ 2
The AKAS does not protect,
- if the machine is only run in the work speed, i.e. no more than 10mm/s
- if the overrun traverse of the machine comes to more than 15mm (AKAS-I, -LC)
resp. 14mm (AKAS-II) .
At cause of the missing sychronization during fast speed, AKAS cannot be used for two machines
aligned in parallel (e.g. "tandem press brake") .

Caution: If a matrix is installed which is considerably higher than the previos one, there is the danger of
the transmitter never find the receiver, because the receiver is always covered by the matrix. If this is
the case, the receiver must be carried manually upwards by pressing the button "EMPFNGER AUF"
(="Receiver up") until the receiver is located in the free coverage of the transmitter and has found the
transmitter.
The transmitter must be carried manually upwards (receiver follows automatically), until the magnetic lamina at-
tached at the bending punch interrupts the laser beam coming from E4, and until the adjustment control of E4
lights up. Doing this, the magnetic lamina must be fixed at the bending punch in a way that its edge is even with
the bending punch (Fig. 29/2, 29/3).

Now, the operator may choose from 2 different adjustment modes:
1. Automatic adjustment (Automatic Mode):

By pushing ONCE the button "Automatik" this adjustment mode is started. The procedure is automatically
stopped as soon as the AKAS-II system has reached the correct distance beneath the bending punch.
The automated adjustment procedure can be interrupted, if - during the downward movement of both the
AKAS-transmitter and the AKAS-receiver - the switch "Sender auf" (=transmitter up) is activated. (This
action will be of help primarily in the case of a large tool being exchanged by a considerably smaller tool.) By do-
ing this, the downward movement of the transmitter and receiver towards the lowest point is prevented or stopp-
ped. If the transmitting light beam hits the receiver elements, i.e. the optics of both components are "locked into
one another" (focussing), the AKAS-II system will adjust itself automatically onto the exchanged tool newly fi-
xed at the ram. If the light beam from the transmitter does not hit the receiver (i.e. the transmitter beams are in-
terrupted by the newly mounted tool), both transmitter and receiver will move downward to the lowest point of
the displacing range. When moving upwards again, they are searching the lower edge of the bending punch.
The system will automatically adjust itself to the newly installed bending punch.
After having carried out this, the key at the key-operated switch is turned to "Aus" (=OFF) and the key is re-
moved from its lock. (fig. 30/4). After having completed the adjustment procedure, the tests (see page 4)
must be carried out.
2. Adjusting by hand (Manual Mode):

By activating the button "Sender ab" (=transmitter down) the manual adjustment mode is started. Now the ope-
rator must check if either the transmitter beam hits the receiver (1) - LS free ("green LEDs of the receiver light
up) - or if the transmitter beam does not hit the receiver (2) - LS-interrupted ("red LED's of the receiver light
up).

Only if the accident preventing light barrier AKAS has been connected according to the circuit diagram detailed
below, and if all relevant national and international accident prevention/safety regulations are observed , a safe
operation is ensured !
Any modification of the specified circuits can cause hazardous states and is therefore forbidden.
For press brakes driven by a safe PLC Type PSS 3XXX (Pilz) you can use AKAS in combination with the
safety module SB230 (Pilz) and without the Switching unit LSUW N1 Muting K.
Also you have to make sure that the prerequisites for using the press brakes protection AKAS (see chapter 3)
are full filled.
By the use of the AMS-system a safe integration of AKAS is possible, if the press brake is not equipped with
position controlled valves for the change-over from fast speed to work speed or an automatic overrun control for
the first stroke.

later the switching unit mutes the whole receiver.
Therefore the control system of the machine must provide a contact monitored according to safety category 4,
which is closed when the machine is in the work speed, i.e. its speed is V 10 mm/s and which is opened when
the machine is in fast motion mode

Instructions for integrating into the control system of the machine 7.1.2
Muting signal Muting signal in the machine control system:
Displaying of the muting signal out of the machine control must be laid out in a way that no muting
signal is given if there is any mis function of the involved switching elements (i.e. no release of a con-
tactor or no switching over from fast motion into working motion) !
Set up operation During set up operation, the monitored contacts 16-17 and 20-21 of the LSUW N1 K Muting controller
units must be muted by a forcible guided normally open contact and simultaneously, the AKAS must
be switched off.
After the set up operation it must be made sure that this special muting procedure is cancelled.
Check list 1 AKAS is used on "foot operated fast motion" mode.

2 "Foot operated fast motion" should only be possible with activated AKAS
3 During foot operated motion with AKAS, the downward movement should only happen by
pressing the foot pedal .
4 The valves relevant for the downward movement must be triggered as directly as possible by
the contacts 16 - 17 and 20 - 21 of the switching unit to keep the overrun traverse as short as
possible
5 In all operating modes except "Foot operated fast motion" the AKAS must be disconnected
from the power supply (=switched off).
6 The start of the AKAS takes place in the top dead centre (T.D.C) (opened press)
7 AKAS-I, -LC: Muting signal 23mm above the sheet .
AKAS-II: Muting signal corresponding Fig. 21/2 above the sheet.
The potential free normaly open contact for the muting signal must be monitored either by the
control system of the machine or by a forcible guided normally closed contact connected in se-
ries between binder 2 and D (start path) of the switching unit.
8 When the muting signal is given, it must be guaranteed according to safety cadegory 4 that the
down stroke of the machine is < 10mm/s (e.g. signal from the valve position monitoring of the
operation cycle valve or from the system AMS).
9 The muting signal must be cancelled as soon as the machine opens (e.g. by a positively driven
contactor which initiates the upward movement or by the system AMS)
10 The box-bending function must be chosen and acknowledged by a button (change-over con-
tact). Here a pedal is more advantageous, because by using it both hands stay free to hold the
sheet.
11 The acknowleging signal for the box-bending function must be interrupted during the upward
movement by a potential - free positively driven normaly closed contact or by the system AMS.

Inspection Badge: badge issued badge not issued
The inspection refers only to the functionality check of the AKAS according to the regulations. It does not replace the safety check
of the machine itself. All modifications of the AKAS or of the machine may impair the protective effect of the AKAS. In this case,
the inspection must be repated.

AKAS Muting System AMS , AMS / N ELEKTRONIK
Function: The AMS provides the muting signal according to safety class 4 and the control signals for the AKAS.
It measures and evaluates speed, traverse and direction of the closing and opening move-
ment of the press. Furthermore, it can carry out the overrun traverse control during the first stroke of the
machine.
The AMS is especially designed for retrofitting certain older presses that do not have any
work speed valves or position monitoring.
The AMS verifies the nature of the movement of the machine. For this purpose, there are incremental
magnetic metal tapes on the left and on the right hand side of the moving part of the press. Each of
them is scanned by a magnetic sensor.
Ram
Magnetic tapes
Magnetic tape

rear view of a press brake
mounting: The switchgear of the AMS must be installed into a switch cabinet of the protective class IP 54. On the
ram (on presses with underneath drive it will be the bottom platen of the press) the magnetic tapes
must be fixed vertically. The length of the magnetic tapes must be as long as the maximum lift of stroke
plus 20 mm reserve at each end of both tapes.
Example: maximum stroke of the press without tool: 300mm + 2 x 20mm reserve = 340mm overall
length of the magnetic tape.
The magnetic sensors must be placed vertically on the machine mount so that the sensor surface
is placed directly above the magnetic tape with a maximum distance of 2mm to the
tape. The sensor can be fastened by using 2 screws M3 in the 3,4 mm clearance holes.

Green = channel A channels A (green) and channels B (yellow) must be switched over. On presses
Yellow = channel B with an underneath drive the wiring procedure must be installed vice-versa.
The connection of the insulation of the sensor cables at the equipotential bonding must be made at
large surface (low impedance). Sensors and their connecting cables must be laid out well separated
from other conductors that may be faulty. If necessary, additional insulating measures have to be met.
Avoid any layout of cables parallel to energy transmitting cables.
FIESSLER
The spools of the valves must be equipped with spark quenching elements.
When performing electric welding work on the machine, you must remove the terminal strip of the
switchgear, otherwise the stray welding currents may cause destruction of the installed electronics.

mounting of
magnetic tape:
Installation must be performed strictly parallel to the mounting surface, i.e. to the traverse to be mea-
sured. Uneven surfaces will always reduce the accuracy of measurement.
Notice: For an optimum of adhesion, all anti-adhesive substances (such as oil, grease, dust etc.) must be re-
moved by using residue-free (=evaporating) cleaners. Ketones (acetone) or alcohols like the fast cle-
aning agents available from companies like Loctite or 3M are suitable substances for this purpose.
Surfaces must be dry and adherends must be pressed against each other as tightly as possible.
Temperature of adherends will be optimal between 20 und 30 C in dry ambiance.

If the magnetic tape is mounted without its covering profile, the self-adhesive steel tape must be glued
onto the magnetic tape as a protective means against mechanical damages.
Avoid any unwanted influences of magnetic fields. In particular, all sorts of magnetic fields ( e.g.
from magnetic clamps or from similar permanent magnetic materials) must be kept away from direct
contact with the magnetic tape.

AKAS Muting System AMS , AMS 2 ELEKTRONIK
Inbetriebnahme Prior to the first starting up of the system, the desired operating mode must be programmed into the
AMS via the 2 strips of DIP-Switches that are located behind the yellow front plate ( AKAS I / LC with
AMS2 :
/ without overrun traverse measuring, i.e. AKAS II with / without overrun traverse measuring. When
using AKAS II with overrun traverse measuring, the maximum allowable overrun traverse from 5 mm
to 14 mm can be entered as option.)
You will find all available operating modes in the following table. An additional sticker showing a print
of this table is placed on the housing of the AMS2 right beside the Dip-switch strip. The yellow front
plate of the AMS2 can be removed with a small screw driver turned between the lateral edges.

Stroke length before overrun test = 40 mm
Stroke length before overrun test = 20 mm X
The Dip switch combinations on both Dip switch strips must be strictly identical at any time!
overrun traverse After the voltage reset of the AMS, an overrun traverse control is carried out during the first stroke of
the press. For this purpose, the stroke of the machine is stopped after either 20 mm or 40 mm traver-
measuring AMS 2 :
se and the AMS checks the overrun traverse. If the overrun traverse does not exceed either 15 mm
on the AKAS 1 or the pre-programmed maximum allowable overrun traverse of the AKAS 2, the mea-
sured traverse is displayed by the number of flashes by the green LED on the AMS. Example: if the
upper green LED flashes 8 times and the lower LED 6 times, the traverse measured at the right hand
sensor input would be 8mm, that at the left hand sensor would be 6mm. In turn, if the AKAS2 is
used, the maximum allowable overrun traverse can be programmed at the AMS 2 onto 8mm (with re-
serve: 9mm).
According to this, the AKAS2 receiver can now be adjusted onto 8mm/9mm as overrun traverse para-
meter. For further information about adjustsing the AKAS2, please refer to page 21 of the instruction
manual for AKASI / LC / AKASII.
If the overrun traverse is exceeded, the green LED remains dark and, after having completed the
opening movement, another overrun traverse control procedure starts during the next stroke of the
press. As long as the overrun traverse measuring does not furnish correct measuring results, no ope-
ration will be possible. For machines already equipped with an overrun traverse control, the above-
mentioned measuring procedure may be deactivated by adjusting both jumpers "6" beneath the remo-
vable type plate of the AMS switch gear.
Never operate the press with AKAS without having executed the overrun traverse control first!
-If, after the first starting up of the machine, no stroke is carried out, please check if the downward mo-
vement is always interrupted after 1cm. If this is the case, the sensor cables A and B might be con-
Notice for using nected incorrectly. (A and B mixed up).
AMS/N and AMS 2/N : -If no overrun traverse measuring is carried out, i.e. if there is no Muting activated when the overrun
control measurement is deactivated, check the distance between magnetic tape (adhesive side must
face the machine) and the sensors. If everything is installed correctly, check with a measuring tool at
the sensor cables A and B during upward / downward movement, if a constant alternation from 0 V to
approx. 24 V is produced. If 0 V is constantly obtained as measuring result, the sensors themselves
are probably defective.
In case of problems with the Muting fuction, the following spots are not recommended to be used as
upper dead center:
-From switch-over point of the machine from fast speed into slow speed until + 4 mm above the
switch-over point.
Example: if the switch-over point is e.g. 16 mm above the sheet metal surface, then avoid using the
sector between 16mm and 20 mm above shett metal surfasce as upper dead center.
-The sector of 14 mm after the switch-over point on AKAS I / LC +/- 2 mm, or 6 mm after the switch-
over point from fast speed into slow speed when using AKASII +/- 2 mm
Example: the switch-over point at the AKAS II was programmed onto 15 mm above sheet metal
surface. 15 mm - 6 mm = 9 mm +/- 2 mm => Avoid using the sector between 7mm and 11 mm as
upper dead center.
