Component Specifications

Definition
Chip guard mounting points are engineered structural features integrated into machine bases, designed to provide secure, vibration-resistant attachment for chip guards. These points ensure proper alignment and stability of guards that contain machining debris, coolant, and chips during industrial operations, preventing workplace hazards and maintaining clean work environments.
Working Principle
These mounting points utilize threaded inserts, welded brackets, or precision-drilled holes to create rigid attachment interfaces. They distribute mechanical loads from chip guards across the machine base structure, minimizing stress concentrations and maintaining guard positioning under operational vibrations and impacts.
Materials
Typically manufactured from structural steel (e.g., ASTM A36), stainless steel (304/316 grades for corrosion resistance), or cast iron. Surface treatments include zinc plating, powder coating, or anodizing for durability.
Technical Parameters
  • Thread Size M8 to M16 metric threads common
  • Load Capacity 50-200 kg per point depending on design
  • Mounting Type Threaded inserts, welded brackets, or tapped holes
  • Surface Finish Ra 3.2 μm or better
  • Corrosion Resistance Salt spray test 500+ hours for coated versions
  • Positional Tolerance ±0.5 mm
Standards
ISO 2768, DIN 931, ISO 898-1
