Abstract:
A protection device for protecting driving elements of a mobile element from cuttings produced by a machine tool having a driving section and a machining zone with a protection wall separating the driving section from the machining section, a protection device comprising a cabin, a first displacement window in the disk and a second displacement window in the cabin, a plate interdependent from a cross-through portion of the mobile element slidably mounted on the disk for free translational motion relative to the disk, both displacement windows being arranged with respect to each other so that displacement of the mobile element in said second window in a plane perpendicular to a rotation axis of the disk simultaneously causes sliding of said plate on the disk and the rotation of the disk so that said translational displacement of the plate and the rotation of the disk occlude an opening defined by both displacement windows.
