Electrically Interlocked Grinder and Tool Grinder Shields |
|||||||||
Goes beyond OSHA and ANSI safety requirements— |
|||||||||
These electrically interlocked heavy-duty shields for grinder and tool grinders are ideal for single- and double-wheel grinders. When the shield is swung out of position, the positive contacts on the microswitch open, sending a stop signal to the machine control. The safety microswitch electrical wires are furnished with a protective sheath and connect to the safety circuit of the machine that switches off the control to the movement of the grinding wheel. All safety microswitches are mounted in an enclosed housing with an enclosure rating of IP 67. The multi-adjustable, hexagonal steel arm structure allows easy mounting on the most diverse grinders. A versatile clamp allows horizontal and vertical adjustment of the shield. Each shield consists of a high impact-resistant, transparent polycarbonate shield with an aluminum profile support and provides operator protection from flying chips and coolant. |

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.215 specifies that work rests must be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of 1/8" to prevent the workpiece from being jammed between the wheel and the rest. OSHA also states that the distance between the grinding wheel and the adjustable tongue must never exceed 1/4". |
