Machine Way Cover Wipers

Machine Way Wipers


CQM offers machine way wipers for a variety of applications, including CNC machining applications. Our custom molded way wipers are manufactured according to the latest machine-building standards. Depending on the material selected, they make allowance for criteria such as dry running, resistance to microorganisms, hydrolysis, mineral oil, coolants, acids, bleaches, and gasoline as well as operating temperatures up to 200°C.

CQM’s team has more than 30 years of experience in the field of machine way wipers, marked by continual innovation and perfection. This applies equally to stock way cover wipers, wipers for steel telescopic covers and formed way wipers made to customer’s specifications.

Types of Way Wipers


Since there are so many different types of wipers, we would like to point out the difference between them so that you find it easier to select the right product for your application:

  • FB Wipers- FB wipers are primarily used on the guideways of machines and simply called way wipers or Wipers for short. Our FB Wipers are provided with a transparent coating as a protection against chips and corrosion, except series “M” (stainless steel) and “AW” (Aluminium Wipers).
  • TA Wipers: TA Wipers are mostly used on telescopic steel covers. They keep cover boxes clean and prevent dirt and chips from entering. The wipers are spot-welded, riveted or screwed to the cover boxes. In confined spaces, some may also be used (vertically) as way wipers. TA wipers are manufactured in special moulds, ensuring 100% repeat-order accuracy. All of our TA Wipers here at CQM, Inc. are made with a steel insert are corrosion-protected.
  • Moulded wipers: These are manufactured in special moulds and can be made in almost any geometric shape. ​CQM can make wipers with any configuration that is technically possible. The precision of the mould is a criterion of the wiper´s accuracy and guarantees optimum wiping results. Since CQM wipers are manufactured in moulds, 100 % accuracy is guaranteed for repeat orders. All moulded wipers are provided with a transparent coating as a protection against chips and corrosion. We would be pleased to submit our quotation, for which we only need your sketch or drawing and details about the quantities required.
  • Customized wipers: Our customized wipers are made to length, welded, pegged, or drilled to customer’s specifications.​

Way Wiper Properties


Material properties of wiper lip

  • Highly abrasion-resistant
  • Temperature-resistant from -40°C to +100°C, short-term up to 140°C
  • Very good mechanical characteristics
  • Resistant to coolants and mineral oils
  • Resistant to microorganisms
  • Hydrolitic resistance

​For permanent operating temperatures of up to 200°C or where the wipers are exposed to particularly aggressive coolants or acids, they can also be made from other elastomeres, such as FPM.

Custom Formed Way Wipers


CQM offers way wipers with any configuration that is technically possible. These machine way wipers are manufactured in special molds. The precision of the mold is a criterion of the wiper’s accuracy and guarantees optimum wiping results.

  • All type B wipers are provided with a transparent coating as a protection against chips and corrosion. (Except series “M,” as it is stainless steel.)
  • The coating is optionally available in black.
  • For your safety, we will send you a drawing for approval before production starts. We will gladly accept your CAD drawings, which we will then adapt accordingly and return to you for approval.
  • Your formed wipers can be lettered to your specifications.

B Series – Way Wipers


B Series Way Wipers are made with synthetic rubber with a molded-in steel insert, unless otherwise indicated in the drawing.

  • The wipers are manufactured in special molds, ensuring 100% repeat-order accuracy.
  • All B Series wipers are provided with a transparent coating as a protection against chips and corrosion. (Except series “M,” as it is stainless steel.)

A Series–Wipers for Telescopic Steel Covers or Limited Space Applications


The A Series Wipers are specially developed for telescopic steel covers. These telescopic way wipers keep cover boxes clean and prevent dirt and chips from entering. The wipers are spot-welded, riveted, or screwed to the cover boxes. In confined spaces, some may also be used (vertically) as way wipers.

A series wipers are made with synthetic rubber with molded-in steel insert, unless otherwise specified in the drawing.
