The MST-TO21/22 sliding safety guard is designed to provide reliable and durable protection during turning operations on large-size lathes. With its lightweight yet strong aluminum structure and sliding shield system, it effectively protects the operator from flying chips, coolant, and direct contact with rotating parts. Firmly anchored to the machine head and the floor, this model ensures exceptional stability — even on high-capacity lathes. Available in two configurations to suit your needs:
** Select your Large Lathe Sliding Safety Guard model according to the swing overbed (turning capacity). To calculate swing overbed, take a look at our Legend Image and calculate M1 x 2. **
The MST-TO21/22 is engineered to ensure full protection and long-term performance during turning operations on large lathes. Its solid yet lightweight aluminum frame, equipped with four anchoring points on the machine head, keeps the guard stable in an overhanging position.
The sliding screen, mounted on a bearing carriage with dual steel guide rails, guarantees smooth, precise movement for easy handling. Made of shockproof, oil-resistant polycarbonate, the transparent shield provides continuous visibility of the machining area while protecting the operator from chips, shavings, coolant, and rotating components of the chuck. The sliding shield has a wide visual manufactured with a special material, suitable to be used for safety guards.
The structure can also be customized to accommodate very large chuck diameters, ensuring stability even on heavy-duty machines.
Each model includes a built-in interlocked safety microswitch that prevents the lathe from starting when the guard is open or improperly positioned — ensuring full compliance with OSHA, ANSI, ISO-EN, and CE safety standards.
Designed to protect the front of the lathe against chip and fluid projection. Ideal for setups where the machining area is accessed primarily from the front.
Available versions: MST-TO21/080 and MST-TO21/120
Provides protection on both sides of the lathe, covering the entire chuck area. Perfect for large lathes requiring complete guarding around the machining zone.
Available versions: MST-TO22/080 and MST-TO22/120
The interlock system prevents the lathe from operating when the guard is open or not correctly positioned. This safety feature significantly reduces the risk of accidents and ensures compliance with OSHA, ANSI, ISO-EN, and CE international standards.
Before starting operations:
Cleaning and maintenance should be performed by trained personnel, only when the machine is powered off. Clean the guard whenever clear visibility of the machining area is required, ensuring optimal safety and visibility.
In order to choose the correct size for your lathe, you first need to determine which side of the machine needs to be safeguarded — front (MST-TO21) or both rear and front (MST-TO22). Then, calculate the swing overbed of your machine. Please refer to our image called Legend, and calculate M1 x 2. Refer to the table below to select the correct model and width according to your lathe’s turning capacity.
