PROTECTOR Series Shields safeguard cutting and turning machines, such as drills, mills, lathes, grinders, and more. This patent-pending product line improves the safety and productivity of operators working with dangerous machinery.
PROTECTOR Series Shields are constructed of 14-gauge powder-coated steel and thick 3/16-in. shock-proof, scratch-resistant polycarbonate, creating an extremely tough, rigid, and durable safety shield that protects operators from flying debris, lubricants, coolants, and swarf. They incorporate cool, bright LED lighting into the shield frame to yield superior visibility of the work area, improving the safety and satisfaction of the operator. Additionally, shields are offered in both non-interlocked and interlocked versions; the interlock disengages power and prevents a machine start-up when the shield is not in the correct work position, solving the bypassing problem. The safety-rated interlock switch is enclosed in a NEMA 4 tamper-resistant housing with an optional safety monitoring relay, which monitors the interlock switch for failure or damage.
PROTECTOR Series Shields are modular in design so that shield shape, size, mount, arm, offset, lighting, interlocking, and safety monitoring can be configured to provide the best solution for even the toughest machine guarding challenge. Available with various mounting options, these shields allow for a reversal to address opposite-hand mounting scenarios when necessary. All shields are vertically and horizontally adjustable to clear varying work setups and table heights.
