Introducing the Flexbar Electrical Interlocking Mounting Bracket (E.I.M.B.), a crucial safety component designed for use with all Flexbar latheguards and small chuckguards. The E.I.M.B. is available in four models to accommodate various lathe designs, ensuring that there is a perfect fit for your machine.
The functionality of this mounting bracket is paramount. Once it is wired into the motor-control circuit, specifically with the motor starter, the cam-operated limit switch plays a vital role. When the safety shield is tilted upward, the limit switch opens the contacts, leading to an immediate stop of the machine. This feature enhances safety and prevents accidents, making it an indispensable accessory for any lathe operation.
