Machine Tool Safety Guards
User-Friendly for Machinists
Manual and CNC Lathes
Chuck guards with safety switches and lathe guards without safety switches due to primary and secondary operations to prevent cuts from sharp metal curling, pull-in hazards, and oil spraying at operators.
Manual Mills and CNC Bed Mills
Modular machine guarding used to prevent hot flying chips, hazards, and coolant from spraying out. Designed with or without safety switches based on manual operation.
Radial Arm Drills and Drill Presses
Universal guards keeping metal shavings from the operator, minimize cut hazards at cutting tools, and spraying of coolants. Safety switch options based type of machining and fixturing required.
General Shop Presses
Steel ejection mesh or ballistic curtain for shop press used to guard against material ejection while still providing visibility of operation. Split-curtain rod front and back for optimized protection when pressing protruding parts.
Grinders and Buffers
Machine shields used to prevent flying debris from operators face and eyes. The deflectors angle the material ejection downward and helps manage widespread mess as well.
Belt and/or Disc Sander
Single use or combination machines in a variety of belt and disc sizes require protection covering the unused areas of the sanding surface when performing secondary finishing operations.
Vertical Bandsaws
For shop size bandsaws, adjustable shield in multiple directions with polycarbonate panel for clear view to part to prevent from accidental contact with the saw blade. Hi-vis orange without a safety switch due to variety of product shapes.
Vertical Bandsaws
Large production use vertical bandsaw integrated with safety light curtains at point of operation and machine guarding around sides and back while still giving access to the chip tray and blade changes without interrupting the hydraulics.
Horizontal Bandsaws
Shop size, hinged machine guards with polycarbonate panel for clear view to part to prevent from accidental contact with the saw blade. Hi-vis yellow with a safety switch to keep operators from access to blade during cutting operations.
Horizontal Bandsaws
Large production use, safety switch mats with protective bollards on the front, physical guarding on the back, and a remote blade start operator station with emergency stop.
Surface Grinders
Safety enclosures to prevent nip points, cuts, and burns found with these manual machine tools due to common interaction between operator's hands, grinding wheel, magnetic base, and adjustment wheel.
