PTO 13 - 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 guard can be mounted exclusively on aluminium profile rear support  which can be bought separately (code SPTO 13/…) or directly on the rear protection for lathe (code PTO 31). 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.
