The inside of the machine tool can be a very hostile environment: red-hot metal chips, corrosive coolants, heavy pieces of metal moving at high speeds. We can provide the heavy-duty protection that metalworking equipment needs to stay accurate, reliable and working at top productivity.

Whatever the duty cycle, stroke, machining process, materials, axis speeds, coolant regime, working temperature, material or dimensions, Beakbane can provide tailor-made protection designed, manufactured and tested to meet your precise needs.

Our broad product portfolio that includes telescopic slideway covers, concertina covers, lamella covers, armoured aprons, roller blinds, telescopic springs and slideway wipers mean we can provide a complete protection package for any machine tool.

Major investments in testing and simulation equipment mean we can guarantee you proven concepts and work with you to develop next generation machines with faster axis travels and higher accelerations – up to 120m/min and 2g.

We are proud to supply some of the world’s leading machine tool manufacturers – including Yamazaki Mazak, Heller and MAG – and are used to working with JIT and ship-to-line regimes.

Applications for our machinery protection products include: machining centres, milling machines, boring machines, lathes, grinding machines, laser and waterjet cutting machines, routers and woodworking equipment.
