Splash guard for machine tool

摘要

Two opposing and parallel resilient wipers contact and wipe a top surface of a panel rotating about an axis perpendicular to the length of the wipers. The panel separates exchanger platforms of a rotatable turntable for exchanging workpieces between a loading station and a machining station. Each wiper is split near the center to follow the top surface of the panel as it rotates, and the splits are offset from each other along the lengthwise direction such that debris or fluid entering one of the slits will be stopped by an opposing face of the remaining wiper.
