Aprons: Cost-effective protection
If your machine is exposed to a low chip load from the front, a link apron is sufficient as a protective measure completely. HEMA manufactures these devices in different variants:
FLEXPRO Link aprons
The metal sections are flat or semi-circular aluminium, brass or steel sections. They are bonded and riveted on a very tear resistant synthetic carrier material.
FLEXSTAR aprons
These aprons are made up of anodized hollow aluminum sections joined with a polyurethane strip. On the visual side the glider elements are rounded at the edges. FLEXSTAR-S can move freely in both directions, FLEXSTAR-C/CR permits only one-way bending, adopting a stable flat position in the other direction.
FLEXSTAR-Windows
FLEXSTAR aprons combined with vision inserts are very popular in the assembly sectors.
FLEXWALK
Link aprons are also available as a "walk-on" design.
