Key Benefits & Features
Unobstructed Overhead Crane Access
Strategically designed to allow overhead crane handling of workpieces without interference.
Full Lathe Accessibility
When swung open, the guard stays clear of the operator’s workspace—no more wrestling with panels to reach your controls or tooling.
Continuous Workpiece Monitoring
Durable polycarbonate front panels provide crystal-clear visibility, so you can watch every cut without lifting the guard.
Interlocked for Safety
Built-in safety interlock ensures the lathe cannot run when the guard is open, preventing accidental contact.
Premium Construction
Lightweight Aluminum Shields
Corrosion-resistant and easy to handle, our aluminum panels reduce strain during installation and maintenance.
Heavy-Duty Steel Legs
Solid steel framework provides unwavering stability, even under heavy vibration.
High-Visibility Powder Coat
Finished in safety yellow for instant recognition and long-lasting durability.
Smooth Telescopic Slides & Rails
Engineered for whisper-quiet, effortless opening and closing, even after years of use.
Precision Gap Clearance
A 0.2″ minimum clearance gap between top and front shields ensures optimal fit without binding.

OSHA 1910.212 sets the general requirements for machine guarding, covering moving parts, points of operation, in-running nip points, and flying debris. It applies to all machines to protect workers from injury caused by hazardous motion and contact.
OSHA 1910.212(a) establishes the general machine guarding requirements that protect employees from points of operation, moving parts, in-running nip points, and flying debris. It forms the foundation for all other machine guarding rules.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(1) requires that one or more methods of machine guarding be provided to protect operators and nearby employees from rotating parts, flying chips, sparks, and other mechanical hazards. It defines the core duty to guard all dangerous machine motions.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(2) defines the construction and design requirements for machine guards, ensuring they are strong, secure, and effective in protecting workers from mechanical hazards without introducing new risks.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(3) requires that machines have point of operation guards to protect operators from contact with cutting, shaping, or forming actions. This rule ensures workers are shielded wherever material is fed into or removed from a machine.
OSHA 1910.212(a)(3)(ii) requires that the design and construction of machine guards prevent the operator from being exposed to injury during operation, setting a performance-based standard for guard effectiveness and safety.
B11.22 sets consensus safety requirements for turning centers and automatic, numerically controlled (NC/CNC) turning machines—covering design, construction, operation, maintenance, guarding, and life-cycle responsibilities.
B11.6 provides safety requirements for manual turning machines (lathes) with or without automatic control — addressing design, guarding, operation, maintenance and lifecycle responsibilities to reduce risk in turning operations.
