Way covers protect moving machine parts and help guard against mechanical pinch points. 怡红院 offers both new way covers and replacement way covers for any machine make and model. 怡红院 has manufactured dynamic and flexible covers for over 75 years to both the makers and users of machine tools.
Machine tools may create an environment in which its parts must be protected from its work processes, yet need to move without obstruction. The close proximity of moving parts often excludes the feasibility of static protective enclosures.
Way covers are protective shields used to guard machine ways, guides, and linear rails from contaminants like dust, chips, coolant, and other debris. They help to extend the lifespan and performance of machinery by preventing damage to critical components.
There are flexible cover designs that can roll-up, bend, and flex to allow unrestricted movement through a dynamic range of motion.
Protective covers are available in听various materials and types. They can听be polymer-based, metal, or fabric听depending on the requirements of the听application.
