Machine shield
PROTECTOR Shields defend machine operators from flying debris, lubricants, coolants and swarf. They’re constructed from 14-gauge powder-coated steel and thick 3/16-inch shock-proof, scratch-resistant polycarbonate. Bright LED lighting is incorporated into the frame to illuminate the work area. For additional protection, an interlock will disengage power and prevent a connected machine from starting up when a PROTECTOR shield is not in the correct work position. An optional safety monitoring relay can be added to monitor the interlock switch for failure or damage.
