These electrically interlocked heavy-duty shields are designed for slotting and broaching type machines. When the shield is swung out of position, the positive contacts on the microswitch open, sending a stop signal to the machine control. The safety microswitch electrical wires are furnished with a protective sheath and connect to the safety circuit of the machine that switches off the control to the movement of the slide or braoch. All safety microswitches are mounted in an enclosed housing with an enclosure rating of IP 67.

The vertical shield support arm made of tubular stainless steel is attached to a depth-adjustable mounting bracket which provides easy mounting on the most diverse machines. The adjustable shield-arm fixing clamps made of pressed steel allow horizontal and vertical adjustment of the shield.

Each shield consists of a high impact-resistant, oil-resistant, transparent polycarbonate shield that protects operators from flying chips and coolant, and hinders access to the alternate moving parts of the vertical slide or broach. The shield can be mounted on the left or right side of the machine base.
