MADO FPS-Systems: An Innovation Beyond Par

The FPS is a safety system designed to prevent serious injuries among operators working on band saws. The groundbreaking system comprises an image processing system, evaluation electronics, and a mechanical brake unit. It identifies the gloves worn by the operator and immediately halts the saw when these gloves come within a certain distance of the band saw – all in a matter of milliseconds.

This innovation has set a new standard in the industry, demonstrating MADO’s commitment to the safety of workers. This, coupled with the fact that the saw band’s function remains intact despite the abrupt stop, stands as an embodiment of MADO’s dedication to innovation, safety, and efficiency.
