Small Curved Safety Shield
The small curved shield size on this guarding can fit in small areas where other shields can’t. Protects against access to rotating or moving parts such as spindles and shafts.
(This shield is the smaller version of the TR-6, which has a bigger shield size)
- Shield Size: 4 3/4″ x 7 3/4″ (120mm x 200mm)
- Vertical adjustment: 4″
- Impact-resistant polycarbonate (Lexan™) shield
- Built-in tamper-resistant electrical safety interlock switch
- The guard is adjustable vertically.
- Mounted on a steel bracket that includes four mounting holes
The shield helps prevent entanglement hazards by protecting the rotating parts of a machine. This guard protects against projections such as chips and coolant if used on a small drill press. This guard will help prevent ejections from accidentally leaving chuck keys inside the drill chucks.
These shields meet or exceed OSHA, ANSI, and CSA standards for machine safety guarding. You may also be interested in the big brother version of this guard: TR-6, Medium Interlocked Safety Shield (Click Here).
Applications for This Guard
You can install this safety guard on various machinery to cover and protect moving parts.
- Drill press chucks – You may need to fabricate brackets so that the shield mounts in the proper location.
- Rotating shafts – This includes balancers and rotating components that have adjustment points.
- Band saws – We have included a photo of this type of setup on this page.
