Safety Guards for Lathe Chuck and Carriage

Safety guard designed to protect the operator during working operations. Equipped with double opening:  vertical one with gas springs and sliding one on auto-carrying  guide.

Protects the operator from direct contact with rotating components of the chuck and from the projection of shavings and lubricant-coolant.

The shield cannot be opened in working position because the vertical opening of its two articulated parts is not allowed by a mechanical lock and protected by a safety microswitch with separated actuator. The opening is allowed by doing a double movement, sliding and vertical one, keeping completely clear the access to the chuck and the toolpost.
