The invention describes a safety device ( ), in particular a beam-emitting and beam-receiving system for a production machine ( ), e.g. an edging press, with a retaining mechanism ( ) for the safety device ( ) on a press beam ( ) to which bending and/or pressing tools can be attached. The retaining mechanism ( ) has at least one retaining means ( ) designed to be received in a tool holder device ( ). A detection system ( ) wired to the machine control system of the production machine ( ) is provided between the tool holding device ( ) and the retaining means ( ).

Safety device for a manufacturing machine, for example a folding press

The subject matter of the invention is a process for bending a component, e.g. a metal sheet ( ) by means of a mechanical force with selective heating by means of a laser beam ( ). From one laser beam ( ) or several laser beams ( ) a radiation field ( ) is shaped to form a linear heating zone ( ) and at all points along a bend line ( ) acts upon the component.
