Technical Data
Valid for all forms of telescopic steel covers
shown
All forms are made from rolled high-grade steel sheets
from 1.5 mm to 3 mm
thick. Corrosion-proof stainless steel can be used for extreme conditions
(e. g.
aggressive coolant). Depending on the fittings, speeds of up to 100 m/min
can be attained by steel covers of all shapes. Way wipers, guides, rollers
and
damping elements are interchangeable. Gutters (preventing coolant entering
the boxes) can be included in the design of different models.
The flat, u-shaped design represents
the best economical solution for the
protection of slideways.
The roof-shaped design deflects
coolant and swarf on either side,
depending on the angle of incline.
Additionally, the peak provides
higher rigidity and perfect guidance
of the boxes.
The slope of this design ensures the
diversion of coolant and swarf in one
direction, depending on the angle of
incline.
The flat-roof form is used for broad
covers to provide maximum rigidity
of the box surfaces.
geometric requirements and
improves the draining of coolant
and swarf, depending on the angle
of incline. The additional folded
edge increases the stability of the
individual box surfaces and
improves the ratio between the
width and depth of the boxes to
ensure correct guiding of the cover.
Vertical covers can be manufactured
in models 1 to 5 above. When using more than 3 boxes, however, it is necessary to provide additional grips on the back to keep the covers from disengaging.
In "Venetian" blind covers, the indi-
vidual slats slide in separate lateral
guide rails. Since these types of covers
do not require slideways, they are
particularly suited for the protection
of column recesses. In the presence
of swarf and coolant, the "Venetian"
blind covers can only be mounted
vertically. The guide rails are available
in various materials to meet individual
requirements.
Cross-rail covers can be manu-
factured in models 1 to 5 above. For more than 3 boxes, however, it is necessary to provide an additional
return at the top slideway to prevent the individual boxes from tilting or disengaging.
