How thick is the protective cover of the machining center?

1. Machining center protective cover
The protective cover can strictly prevent dust, chips, hard sand, etc. from entering the track, reduce the damage of hard granular foreign matter to the sliding rail surface, reduce the influence of the guide rail deformation due to operation on the machining accuracy, and maintain the machining accuracy of the machine tool. The surface of the protective cover should be smooth without burrs and sharp edges, and should not become a new source of danger.

The size and material of the machine tool steel plate protective cover are made according to the guide rail model and the use environment. It not only protects the guide rail but also adds visual beauty to the machine tool. Ensure the machining accuracy of the equipment. Under the same material, the quality of the steel plate telescopic guide rail protective cover depends on its production process and plate thickness.

2. How thick can the steel plate shield of machine tools be?
The thickness of the steel plate shield material depends on the size of the shield. Small steel plate shields use a smaller plate thickness than large steel plate shields. Generally, 2-4mm thick steel plates are cold-pressed, and stainless steel plates can also be used as required. The thickness of the steel plate shield is not the thicker the better. The appropriate thickness should be selected according to the size of the shield. If a small shield uses a particularly thick plate. Then, the product produced will appear bulky.

The shield is a common safety device. Its main function is to protect workers or operators from harmful substances, prevent accidents, and ensure production safety. The shield is widely used in many fields and is a very important safety measure.
