A protective slide assembly for a work machine for processing packaging material includes an assembly element for connecting the protective slide assembly to the work machine, a protective element arranged to be movable relative to the assembly element, a first sensor element, and a second sensor element fixedly arranged at the assembly element. The protective element can be moved relative to the assembly element between a release position and a protection position, and the first sensor element and the second sensor element are configured to come into contact in the protection position of the protective element and to output a signal that is indicative of the contact. The first sensor element is arranged such that it can be moved along with the protective element and an amplitude of motion of the first sensor element is greater than an amplitude of motion of the protective element.
A protective slide assembly for a work machine for processing packaging material, the protective slide assembly comprising an assembly element for connecting the protective slide assembly to the work machine, a protective element arranged to be movable relative to the assembly element, a first sensor element, and a second sensor element fixedly arranged at the assembly element, wherein the protective element is movable relative to the assembly element between a release position and a protection position and wherein the first sensor element and the second sensor element are configured to come into contact in the protection position of the protective element and to output a signal that is indicative of the contact, wherein the first sensor element is arranged such that the first sensor element is movable along with the protective element and an amplitude of motion of the first sensor element is greater than an amplitude of motion of the protective element.
A method for processing packaging material with a work machine, wherein the work machine comprises a feed opening for feeding packaging material, a work space, a discharge opening for discharging processed packaging material from the work space, and a protective slide assembly, wherein the protective slide assembly is connected to the work machine by way of an assembly element of the protective slide assembly and comprises a protective element arranged to be movable relative to the assembly element, a first sensor element, and a second sensor element fixedly arranged at the assembly element, wherein the method comprises:
