A CNC telescopic cover is a protective mechanism designed to shield the moving parts of CNC machines, such as guideways, ball screws, and spindles, from contaminants like metal chips, coolant, and dust. These covers are essential for maintaining the precision and longevity of CNC equipment.
🔧 How CNC Telescopic Covers Work
CNC telescopic covers consist of multiple interlocking panels that extend and retract in a manner similar to a telescope. As the machine's moving parts travel along the axis, the sections unfold to cover the exposed components. When the machine is idle, the covers retract into a compact form, minimizing space usage.
