Sword-M Plated Bellows with Flexible Steel or Aluminium Plates on the Front Side

These Sword-M bellows are designed for vertical applications, but they are mostly used in vertical positions. The mounted stainless steel or aluminium plates offer an excellent protection against all types of chips and swarfs.

We Recommend to use the Sword Plated Bellows for the following applications
  • Milling machines
  • Boring machines
  • Machining centers
  • Woodworking machines
  • Engraving machines

We are using different ways of mounting the plates onto the bellows. One such example is special spring-loaded plates which return automatically in their original position. This gives a closed surface and reliable protection. Other types even allow an easy replacement of single plates thus reducing maintenance and repair costs. The maximum width of a single plate on Sword-M is 85 mm / 3.35 Inch.

Sword-C Plated Bellows with Completely Fixed Closed Steel Plates on All Sides

The Sword-C Plated Bellows was developed as an alternative for a telescopic steel way cover for vertical applications. Through its unique design, offering full protection on all sides, Sword-C can be used as a cover.

Sword-C fully closed plates on all sides
The Main Advantages for the Sword-C Bellows are
  • Fast delivery in four to six weeks
  • Competitive prices
  • Low weight and travel speed of 30 Meters / 1.2 Inch per Minute

These advantages makes it worth thinking about replacing a steel way cover.

FastLap Plated Apron with Flexible Steel or Aluminium Plates on the Front Side

Plated aprons can be used on nearly all machine tools for covering the Z-axis. For any of these applications as well as in protective cabins, it offers an effective and long lasting protection against continuous chip, coolant or spark flow. For mounting and installing the FastLap plated apron a guiding system is required. Additional space for the guides is necessary (see drawing). We help you to use the existing guides or design a new solution with you.
