Flexbar 3-Axis Universal Mount Interlocked Guards

Flexbar 3-Axis Universal Mount Interlocked Guards

Featuring a newly designed universal positioning system incorporating a range of Electrical Interlocked Shields for a wide variety of machine guarding applications including, mills, drill presses, and band saws.

Common Features For All Systems:

  • 3-Axis universal positioning system allows all shields to be optimally employed in the hazardous machining area. The shield can be positioned vertically, horizontally and "in and out" as follows:
    A - Vertical: 12" B - Horizontal: 9" C - In & Out: 9"
    (Optional 30" Extension Tube No. 13264 available. Order information below.)
  • Horizontal post has a mounting bracket allowing attachment to the machine headstock.
  • All shields are permanently attached to the adjustable vertical post which is mounted through a Flexbar Electrical Interlocking Device.
  • When the shield is swung out of position, the cam-operated limit switch opens the contacts and stops the machine.
  • Includes attached electrical wiring with flexible conduit to allow connection to the safety circuit of the machine that switches off the control to the movement of the spindle.
  • Unit is protected beyond IPG rating.
