Telescopic machine tool guards

How does a telescopic cover prevent wear of machine guideways?

The cover consists of several sections and extends like a telescope.Glide guidesguide the protective cover along the axis of motion and prevent deviation from the set path, whilehooksaround the perimeter of the cover reliably keep the sections from falling out.Wipers— polyurethane seals — protect the machine guideways from coolant ingress and remove chips from the surface of the telescopic cover.

Self-guiding horizontal railsensure correct movement of the telescopic cover along the linear guides. When the machine runs at high speed, a pantograph prevents the sections from skewing.

Telescopic machine guard (telescopic cover) shields guideways and lead screws from chips, coolant and abrasive dust and extends the service life of the machine. We make telescopic guards for machines of a specific model to the customer's drawing or technical specification — for lathes, milling machines and machining centers.
