Machine Safe

BS EN ISO 16090 is the current safety standard for CNC machining centres, milling machines and transfer machines. It defines the performance requirements for machine safety glass, including resistance to impact from swarf or tooling, durability under high-speed machining conditions and protection against degradation caused by metalworking fluids. Compliance with this standard is important because it helps protect machine operators, supports health and safety compliance, and reduces the risk of machine downtime caused by window failure. Tecdur MachineSafe vision panels are manufactured to meet BS EN ISO 16090, ensuring safe operation and clear visibility throughout the service life of the window.

BS EN ISO 23125 applies to CNC turning machines and lathes. This standard focuses on protecting operators from high-energy risks such as rotating workpieces, tool breakage and ejected material. Machine safety glass manufactured to this standard must provide proven impact resistance and long-term reliability. Using compliant safety glass helps maintain operator safety, supports insurance and audit requirements, and reduces the likelihood of unplanned downtime. Tecdur MachineSafe safety glass is fully compliant with BS EN ISO 23125 for turning applications.

Tecdur MachineSafe is a range of CNC machine safety glass windows designed for use in machining centres, lathes, milling, and other metalworking machines. These windows provide enhanced safety and durability to protect operators and equipment.

Over time, exposure to metalworking fluids can damage the polycarbonate layer in safety glass, reducing its impact resistance and causing discoloration. This ageing effect can compromise safety, so regular replacement with durable, protective options like Tecdur MachineSafe is essential.

Tecdur MachineSafe complies with the latest BS EN ISO standards, including BS EN ISO 16090 (for machining centres, milling machines, and transfer machines) and BS EN ISO 23125 (for turning machines), ensuring it meets current safety specifications.

Tecdur MachineSafe uses a fully laminated system that shields the polycarbonate layer from damaging effects, such as metalworking fluids. This lamination maintains the window's impact resistance and clarity over time, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Yes, by using durable, long-lasting safety glass, Tecdur MachineSafe helps minimize the need for frequent replacements. This reduces potential machine downtime and supports continuous operation, which is particularly beneficial for production-heavy environments.

Tecdur MachineSafe is suitable for CNC machining centres, lathes, milling machines, and other metalworking equipment. The product is compatible with numerous machine brands, including Mori Seiki, Okuma, Mazak, Haas, Daewoo, and many others.

Tecdur MachineSafe offers enhanced durability, compliance with the latest safety standards, and a laminated structure that prevents polycarbonate ageing. It provides better protection for machine operators and helps extend the lifespan of machine vision panels.
