Roll-up protections for the lathe leadscrew
The roll-up protections for lathes are roller devices designed to safeguard the leadscrew and the feed bars, preventing the risk of entanglement for the operator. They consist of two roll-up tapes resistant to cutting and industrial oils, equipped with a spring return system.
Among the main advantages of these roller protections are the ease of installation, compatibility with any lathe model, and minimal space requirement. Additionally, they significantly reduce the hazards associated with the movement of the leadscrew and bars in parallel lathes, in compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The installation of roll-up protections for the leadscrew is essential for:
- covering the trapezoidal screw, a moving component that could pose a danger to the operator;
- preventing the accumulation of chips and dust, avoiding sliding and wear issues;
- protecting the leadscrew from external agents, reducing the need for maintenance and extending the machine’s lifespan;
- increasing operator safety, preventing accidental contact with moving parts.
The roll-up protections are made with high-strength technical materials, designed to follow the machine’s movements without compromising performance.
The ready-to-ship roll-up protection models have the following features:
- Height 150, travel 1200
- Height 200, travel 1500
- Height 200, travel 2000
- Height 250, travel 3000
- Height 300, travel 4000
- Height 350, travel 5000
- Height 400, travel 6000
- Height 450, travel 7000
Additionally, if standard solutions are not sufficient, it is possible to develop custom roll-up protections specific to each type of machine.
