Summary

There are many applications which can utilize the Akon retractable safety cover. Some of our customers are guarding sheer points along platforms while others use the covers to cover water tanks outside. Its uses are not limited to only CNC machines.

Mounting the retractable safety cover to the machine is also very simple. Each roller has a mounting bracket located at both ends of the roller. Each bracket has two hole locations where you will bolt it to the almost any structure. At the opposite end of the roller is a sleeve on the cover which will attach to the moving object. In this sleeve, you simply slide in a piece of flat stock steel. You can then drill holes through this steel flat to allow you attach the curtain potion.
