Protects machine tables and fixtures with a clean finish

The cover strip is intended to prevent swarf, dust and loose contaminants from collecting in machine table grooves, so that fixtures remain precise and maintenance intervals are extended. Installed over an 18 mm T‑slot, the profile creates a continuous surface that minimises snagging and makes cleaning straightforward. Robust aluminium construction keeps weight low while ensuring stable edge protection, and the aluminium surface is compatible with standard workshop cleaning methods without special treatments.

Quick on-site adaptation to reduce inventory needs

Supplied as a 1000 mm bar, the profile is designed for fast length adaptation: cutting to the required dimension is possible with a fine saw blade, allowing immediate fitting without specialist tooling. This flexibility reduces the need to stock multiple lengths and supports lean procurement models in production and maintenance departments. The ability to trim the strip on site shortens lead times for custom installations and simplifies spare-part logistics across different machines.

Durable profile for everyday industrial use

Made from an aluminium profile, the strip offers a corrosion-resistant surface that withstands routine workshop exposure and mechanical contact. The material choice combines durable performance with an acceptable surface hardness for general protection tasks, meaning the strip protects expensive fixtures while remaining easy to handle during assembly. Low-maintenance characteristics contribute to predictable total cost of ownership and uninterrupted production workflows.

Straightforward compatibility with T‑slot systems

Designed specifically for T‑nut style grooves, the profile matches standard T‑slot dimensions and is therefore suited to a wide range of machine tables, assembly jigs and framing systems. The simple geometry ensures reliable seating in the groove and a secure visual result for finished installations. Supply is supported through Metav’s distribution channel, offering customers the assurance of consistent quality control from Emmerich and straightforward replenishment across European operations.
