Armour Joint and telescopic covers both protect machine ways, but they are built differently and suit different applications.

Armour Joint

Uses hinged, articulated steel plates. Well suited to heavier-duty applications and machines exposed to larger chips or harsher coolant conditions, thanks to its rigid plate construction.

Telescopic Covers

Uses nested, sliding steel sections. Common on lighter-duty and higher-speed applications where a lower profile or higher travel speed is needed.

Making the choice

Consider your typical chip size, coolant type, travel speed and available mounting clearance. Our team can review your machine specification and recommend the better fit.
