Description

This is an easy to fit, easy to adjust and easy to use interlocked drilling machine guard and milling machine close-fit cutter guard. The 230mm x 310mm x 5mm-thick polycarbonate screen swings to the open position and is mounted to a height-adjustable, side-fixing system allowing approximately 300mm of vertical adjustment. The guard is equipped with a tamper-proof, micro-switched steel mount.

The screen ensures no contact with the rotating spindle and protects the operator from entanglement and ejection hazards. The interlock is fitted into the mounting bracket and is a 2NC-1NO IP67 micro switch (code Mic 002). The safety interlock switch ensures that the safety screen must be in place before the machine can be operated.

DC injection braking is optional, as is our dual-channel safety control panel as well as an additional e-stop or kick-stop. Our ‘safety panels’ contain safety relays and dual-power switching contactors. This system provides redundancy and fault tolerance, and it complies with current Standards regarding safety-related parts of control systems.

Care must be taken when drilling into a geared head as it will contain oil and gear components. Check that the inside dimension of the guard’s screen is wider than the area to be covered.
