SCM's "Blade Off" is a predictive saw safety system that prevents accidental contact between the operator’s hand and the blade. Smart sensors identify and recognize the human body and trigger the system if too close to the blade’s designated zone area. If detected, the system automatically excludes the blade and stops the program running, without damaging any part of the machine. 

The protection is enhanced on three sides (piece entrance and side approaches to the blade) to prevent any kind of contact, even those caused by accidental movements. According to the company, what makes this system even safer is that the detection is not based on re-elaborations/predictions made by algorithms, nor optical detections that could be read as calculation errors or poor visibility of the video camera.
