More protection - improved view into the work area

Safety in the process

Safety panes are guards that prevent tools or workpieces being ejected out of the machine work area, thereby protecting people from injury from flying parts. Vision panels on machine tools allow the operator to see into the machine, make the production process transparent and facilitate program run-in.

Efficiency in day-to-day production

Vision panels on machine tools allow the operator to see into the machine, make the production process transparent and facilitate program run-in.
Why is HELLER recommending the replacement?
The safety pane is made of polycarbonate. The pane is protected on the inside by single-layer safety glass and on the outside by blown film. Polycarbonate can age and become brittle, which reduces its impact resistance. It is not possible to see this embrittlement. In order to protect persons in the machine surroundings, we recommend to replace the safety pane after eight years as a precautionary measure.

Advantages:

• Better view into the work area
• Reliable protection from:
  • Hot chips
  • Broken tool parts
  • Unclamped workpieces
