The Roll Up Machine Guard prevents operators from getting their hands or feet inside of the machines which they are working near. The guarding also contains flying debris which could potentially injure someone.

These guards un-roll as the machine raises, and they retract as the machine lowers. The guards can be attached in a variety of methods and have potential uses for countless applications. They also provide a very small foot print which is ideal where a traditional bellows fold would be too large. Also great solutions for CNC machines.

For applications where there is excessive chips or debris, wipers can be included which wipe the material before it is rolled up into the assembly. The steel casing also protects the roller from external damage. 
 

Industrial Roll Up Guards Overview

These roll up guards feature a spring assembly which takes up the material slack. These guards are ideal for covering openings to protect pinch points and contain flying debris such as chips from CNC machines.

• Heavy Duty Vinyl – Designed for industrial guarding in the harshest of conditions.

• Anchoring – The roll up machine guards come with two mounting anchors that can be bolted to the machine or the floor.

• Bolt on Mounting – The lip contains a pocket that will allow you to slide a flat steel mounting plate though which then bolts on.

• Many Materials – The roll up guard can come equipped with several different materials to suit your application. These range from 22oz vinyl for standard use to Teflon/Kevlar for high heat applications.

• Dimensions – From 8” in width to 180”, these guards can be supplied in almost any width and length.

• Colors – Also available in clear material as well to allow visual access to machining operations.

Roll Up Guard Materials

The materials used on your guard will depend on the environment in which the guard will be used. Typical applications can use 18 oz vinyl, which is the most economical and generally the most sufficient material.

If the roll up machine guard will be exposed to extreme heat, then we would recommend the .040” Viton/Fiberglass. This material can withstand high temperatures which would melt or deform other materials.

The guards are also easy on install as you simply bolt the anchor mounts to the floor or the machine. You then slide a small steel plate through the top pocket of the roller guard and bolt it to the machine.
