Ball feet allow machine guards to be floor mounted
The Item adjustable ball foot mounting has been designed for where cell guards or enclosures are floor mounted, rather than fitted to a machine structure, and have to accommodate uneven floors
The Item range of components, available from Machine Building Systems Ltd, now include 20 x 20mm profile in their line 5 range that fulfils all requirements.
These profiles combine plain faced sides adjacent or opposite to each other, with either two or three conventionally grooved sides which would normally be hidden from view.
The plain sides provide the clean looking, easy to wipe down features of a modern structured or machine layout, with the essential connecting and assembly features provided by the conventional grooved profile sides.
The profiles are available in 3000mm lengths with a natural aluminium finish, but can be supplied cut to specific lengths.
Where used as part of guard railing, connectors for right angle corners or three way joints incorporating a corner post can be supplied.
Cover caps in black polyamide are also available to achieve the necessary finished look. Request a free brochure from Machine Building Systems ...
