Webster & Bennett Guards
Guarding vertical borers is of paramount importance in ensuring the safety of operators and other personnel working in the vicinity. Due to the nature of their operations, vertical borers possess inherent risks associated with rotating components, cutting tools, and moving parts.
To mitigate these risks, appropriate guarding systems are employed to prevent accidental contact and minimize the potential for injury.
Our TGS range is available with single or double curved, 500mm-high, steel-framed screens with shockproof poylcarbonate or steel mesh on request. TGS01 is a single screen and TGS02 is the double-screen version. The guards run on hardened linear guide rails with a diameter of 20mm and are fully counterbalanced, thus avoiding any manual handling issues.
The guard is anchored to the ground on a double plate. This system allows for final alignment on an uneven floor. The hinged side screens are manufactured and supplied to suit. Standard interlocking (supplied) is with a 2NC-1NO IP67 tongue switch. Solenoid interlocking is optional.
