PCS – ACCIDENT HAZARD AVERTED

PCS detects accident hazards before contact with the saw blade.

PCS eliminates the hazardous situation in milliseconds.

PCS is 100% safe against damage to machine and saw blade.

PCS allows safe operation close to the saw blade.

PCS supports groove cuts.

PCS is ready to be used again at the push of a button.

PCS requires no additional maintenance and cleaning cycles.

PCS works without additional external energy sources and without external sensors or video systems.

PCS is resistant to dust and dirt.

A revolution in safety systems for sliding table saws.

Funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), the Felder Group developed PCS in cooperation with the Vienna University of Technology. Specifically, the worldwide patented safety system detects human tissue in the danger zone and makes the saw blade disappear in a few milliseconds as if by magic: It is suddenly sunk under the table when danger threatens.

Preventive Contact System – PCS

Every woodworker (and woodworking company) has ten good reasons not to compromise when it comes to working safety - PCS prevents accidents and guarantees dexterity and a quality handshake forever!

Today, all state-of-the-art saws and panel saws need to have standard safety equipment such as a splitter and an overhead saw guard in accordance with the applicable DGUV accident prevention regulations. For some years, there has also been a technical solution that largely prevents cuts due to instant blockage of the saw blade, but it destroys the saw blade as well as the saw unit. The consequential costs for the repair are the price that you have to pay for saving one or more fingers. Until now, because there is a better way:

What is PCS exactly?

The revolutionary innovation in safety equipment for sliding table panel saws.

Accident Prevention in a matter of Milliseconds.

After detecting the risk of an accident, PCS triggers the retraction of the saw blade under the saw table in a matter of a few milliseconds. The method based on the electro-magnetic repulsion principle enables a never-before achieved, ultra-fast reaction time.

Surveillance of danger zone with approach detection.

In case of an unexpected, fast approach in the saw blade area, the PCS safety drop-down mechanism is triggered. The area of protection encloses the saw blade and prevents access from any direction.

Immediately ready for use again.

The panel saw with the PCS safety retraction is ready for use again at the touch of a button and requires no additional maintenance or cleaning cycles.

The patent-pending Safety Innovation PCS is available as an option with the Format4 kappa 550 sliding table panel saw and supplements the existing standard protective equipment.
