Many workshops still rely on older drilling machines – robust, reliable, and often in service for decades.
The problem? Most lack modern safety features. Rotating parts, flying chips, and coolant around the drill chuck pose serious hazards.
An easily accessible emergency stop button is also essential.

The good news: With Repar2 protective guards, even previously unprotected drilling machines can be operated safely, cost-effectively, and in full compliance with regulations.
This means your workshop stays productive – and your team stays protected.

Why Retrofit Safety? Key Benefits:

Enhanced Operator Safety: Shields against chips, coolant, and rotating tools.
Standards-Compliant: Built in line with ISO and EN safety requirements for industrial machinery.
Sustainable and Cost-Efficient: Keep using existing machines instead of investing in new ones.
Fast Delivery: The MOWOTAS online shop offers a wide range of protective devices for all common drilling machines – many in stock and ready to ship within days.

Repar2 Guards: Modular Safety for Your Drilling Machines

Repar2 protective devices come in various designs – with gas spring, microswitch, adjustable bracket, or semi-circular shields for larger machines.
Thanks to their modular construction, they fit almost all common types of column, bench, and radial drilling machines.

For machines in frequent use, we recommend our three best-selling models:

TR3A with rectangular shield: Ideal for larger column drills. Provides reliable protection and a clear view of the workpiece.
TR2 with one or two screens: Flexible for different requirements. The two-screen version offers extra protection while maintaining visibility.
TR1 with semi-circular shield: Perfect for compact machines. The rounded design ensures easy handling and compliance with safety standards.
