Description of the MST-AT01/T3 Roll-Up Lathe Safety Guard
The MST-AT01/T3 kit is designed to protect operators from direct contact with the moving lead screw and to prevent work clothing from snagging during turning operations. Each kit includes two roll-up guards mounted on the extremities of the longitudinal carriage. As the carriage moves, the guards automatically roll and unroll through a multiple-spring system, providing continuous, hands-free protection.
The protective ribbon is made of a durable spread textile material, resistant to coolants and abrasion, ensuring long-term use. It delivers constant protection from chips and cutting fluids while maintaining clear visibility of the work area. Positioned on each side of the longitudinal carriage, the two units follow carriage movement and self-roll and unroll, continuously separating the lathe mother screw from the advancing bars.
Installation is straightforward: the end with the sliding roll is fixed directly to the lathe base using appropriate anchorage stirrups, guaranteeing stable and reliable protection throughout the machining process.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about the MST-AT01/T3 Roll-Up Safety Guard
What is the purpose of these roll-up safety guards?
They create a separation between the lathe’s lead screw (mother screw) and advancing bars, preventing direct contact and reducing the risk of operator garments snagging. They also protect against fluid splashes and abrasion.
How do the roll-up guards work?
Each unit is mounted on the ends of the longitudinal carriage. As the carriage moves, the safety guards automatically roll and unroll via multiple springs, ensuring continuous and hands-free protection.
How do I choose the correct band length?
Use the Legend image to measure M2 + M3. This will give you the total band length needed. Then refer to the selection table to find the matching model.
How does the interlock microswitch system work?
An interlocked system automatically cuts off power to the lathe if the safety guard is not in its proper protective position. This prevents the machine from being accidentally started when the work area is exposed, ensuring compliance with OSHA, ANSI, ISO-EN, and CE safety requirements.
Can the membranes be replaced separately?
Yes. The membranes can be replaced individually, and Prismont offers replacement bands compatible with each model, extending product life without replacing the full kit.
