DEBRIS SHIELD Single Column and Tabletop Models - 1

DEBRIS SHIELD Single Column and Tabletop Models Instron® materials testing systems are designed to be as safe as possible, but some applications can pose dangers to operators because of debris or potential pinch hazards. To protect operators without decreasing usability, Instron has developed new shields for tabletop and single column systems. These shields have been designed to optimize safety, ease of use, and laboratory space. Instron’s sheet metal and polycarbonate shields encase the front of the test machine, separating the user from debris and moving parts without reducing visibility. The shield door opens to the left, providing full access to the test space. When open, the shield door increases the frame footpring slightly but does not interfere with the operator area or require the operator to step away from the frame to operate. For an added degree of safety, the shield can be equipped with an optional magnetic interlock which prevents tests from being started with the door open, and can be configured to prevent all crosshead motion when the door is open. The 3400 and 6800 Series systems can also be configured with locking solenoids which keep the shield door closed during testing.
