Built for use with 7 different models of Huot ToolScoot[R], tool covers protect machine operators from cuts and scratches inflicted when retrieving sharp tooling. Products also prevent cutting tools from getting nicked or dinged. Semi-transparent top reduces industrial espionage and let operator see tooling. It can be written on with dry erase marker. Covers are available in EDP No. 14000 for tapers 30, 35, 40, or HSK 63A and EDP No. 14015 for tapers 45, 50, or HSK 100A.

A new, Patent Pending Tool Cover for CNC tooling greatly increases worker safety while protecting valuable cutting tools. The new safety tooling cover easily covers sharp CNC tooling to keep people’s arms from being cut open when reaching in to get tooling. Huot President John Huot explains “For years customers would ask us for a product that would prevent a person’s arm from getting ripped open from the sharp tooling. It’s such a common problem in the industry that people would show us scars on their forearms.” Priced at $11.99 per Safety Tooling Cover, they are far cheaper than going to the emergency room for stitches.

The new safety tooling covers are built for use with 7 different models of the Huot ToolScoot[R]. They are available in EDP# 14000 for tapers 30, 35, 40 or HSK 63A and EDP# 14015 for tapers 45, 50 or HSK 100A. In addition to protecting machine operators from accidental injuries on sharp tooling, the covers keep other tooling from getting nicked or dinged as the tooling is retrieved. Covers are held in place with key hole slots molded in to their base and shoulder bolts installed on the ToolScoot[R].

The Safety CNC Tooling Covers feature a semi-transparent top. It reduces industrial espionage of unique tooling while allowing the operator to see the tooling. The top can be written on with dry erase marker. The covers keep staged tooling clean and ready to go for faster set-ups.

Along with 4.09 in. spindle through-hole and geared head, TRAK TRL 2460SX features 2-speed tailstock, P5 tapered roller bearings, and digital servo motors. Lathe can be used manually with assists from CNC to perform tapers and radii, and complete part programs can be done directly from print by naming geometry required and then answering prompts. ProtoTRAK SLX CNC offers Spreadsheet Editing(TM), informative graphics and networking capabilities as well as optional DXF file converters.

The ProtoTRAK brand CNC is now available on a line of larger machines. The new TRAK TRL 2460SX lathe is a premium machine for small lot work. It features a generous 4.09″ spindle through-hole and a geared head for maximizing performance at high and low speeds. Other machine features include a two-speed tailstock, P5 tapered roller bearings and digital servo motors. The ProtoTRAK SLX CNC is the ultimate control for toolroom and small lot work. The advanced user interface of the CNC differentiates it from production-oriented CNCs. The lathe may be used manually with assists from the CNC to easily do tapers and radii. Complete part programs are easy to do directly from the print by simply naming the geometry required and then answering prompts. Once the program is finished, the revolutionary TRAKing(TM) feature allows the operator to run the part program by controlling the CNC feed through one of the handwheels. The unique and advanced features of the ProtoTRAK SLX include Spreadsheet Editing(TM), informative graphics, Networking capability, and optional DXF file converters. Tool setting is easy for basic single tool operation. The generous capacity also allows for gang tooling set ups and an optional indexer. From one-off to light production, this lathe has the capacity and capability to be efficient for a large range of jobs.
