Oct. 21, 2016
To bring needed safety to the shop floor, Rockford Systems has created a Draw Bar Cover to protect vertical mill workers from rotating shafts seven feet or less from the floor or working platform.

Vertical mills are essential cutting tools in machine shops used to remove material from the surface of metal workpieces. To bring needed safety to the shop floor, Rockford Systems has created a Draw Bar Cover to protect vertical mill workers from rotating shafts seven feet or less from the floor or working platform. It guards the turning draw bar with a non-rotating, smooth, welded-steel enclosure, secured firmly to the mill with a ring magnet and safety anchor chain. Simple to install, the draw bar cover prevents clothing, hair or hands from being grabbed by the moving shaft. This product also complies with OSHA safety regulations for proper safeguarding of equipment.
