Safety shield for cutting, turning machines exceeds OSHA requirements

Rockford Systems offers a line of electrically interlocked safety shields for cutting and turning machines that protect operators from flying chips, sparks, debris, and coolant.

The thermoformed shields are made from impact-resistant, 100 percent transparent polycarbonate and feature electrical interlocks encased in IP67-rated enclosures. They exceed the safety requirements of OSHA and ANSI for maximum operator protection.

The electrical interlock prevents machines from starting until the shield is positioned safely in front of the hazardous area. If the shield is moved away from the hazardous area while the machine is running, the electrical interlock will send a stop signal to turn the machine off.
