In modern CNC machining environments, chips, coolant, and dust can cause significant long-term damage to guideways, ball screws, and other critical components. Choosing the right machine cover (way cover) not only extends the service life of equipment but also ensures high precision and efficiency. This article introduces the main types of CNC machine covers and highlights how LIONSHELL’s innovative products address diverse application requirements.
Based on industry standards and market practices, the most common CNC machine covers include:
Highly flexible, suitable for high-speed movement and long strokes, often made of coated fabrics, thermoplastics, or aramid fibers.
Designed for fast extension and retraction, suitable for long travel paths with limited installation space.
Rugged and durable, ideal for environments with heavy chips, welding sparks, and high temperatures.
Made from linked extruded aluminum plates, offering effective shielding against hot chips, oil, and coolant.
Combines fabric bellows with protective metal elements for enhanced resistance to chips and liquids.
Suitable for long travel distances, can withstand foot traffic for inspection and maintenance.
Provide the highest level of protection for machine guideways, shielding against chips, tools, and chemicals, while remaining repairable and replaceable.
As a professional manufacturer of CNC protection solutions, LIONSHELL delivers a wide range of customized products that combine durability, practicality, and high-level protection. Key offerings include:
Built with heavy-duty steel, these covers provide excellent resistance to chips and coolant. They operate smoothly, offer strong durability, and can be fully customized for size and geometry.
Designed with flexible folding materials for long travel ranges. Compact compression and high protective performance make them ideal for precise machining environments.
Specially engineered for laser cutting and optical path protection. They offer dust-proof, oil-resistant, and chemical-resistant functions, making them suitable for advanced applications.
In addition, LIONSHELL provides fast-response customization services, including single-piece production and delivery. Customers in mainland China benefit from rapid 24-hour response times.
