Types of Industrial Aggression Encountered

Small ABB robots face aggressive industrial environments that require specialized and robust textile protection:

• Fine dust and electronic residue: in electronics and miniaturized manufacturing workshops
• Fluid spray projections: cooling oil, lubrication fluids, cleaning products
• Contamination in food environments: food processing residue, chemical cleaning products
• Mechanical wear: repeated friction, abrasion from continuous movement
• Temperature variations: especially in refrigerated environments (hygienic IRB 1200)
• Humidity and corrosion: seal degradation and joint wear without protection

Protection Cover Solutions

Our covers adapted to small robots offer several configurations based on your specific environment:

• Complete monobloc cover: protection from axis 1 to axis 6 in a single piece, ideal for compact robots
• Bipartite cover: body (axes 1-4) and arm (axes 4-6) separated for easier access and maintenance
• Window-type cover: protection around chassis with openings to free workspace
• Specialized materials: based on application (food-grade FDA certified, chemical-resistant, thermally insulating)
• Hygienic options: for food processing applications or sensitive sectors

Benefits of Adapted Textile Protection

• Investment preservation: a small ABB robot represents significant cost; a cover extends lifespan and limits costly repairs
• Significant downtime reduction: fewer failures = less downtime and corrective maintenance
• Precision maintenance: our lightweight, well-adjusted covers don't slow rapid movements
• Increased safety: protects operators against spray and contamination risks
• Complete flexibility: easy access to critical areas without removing entire cover
• Regulatory compliance: food certifications (FDA), chemical and environmental standards

Food Industry

A sensitive sector directly linked to consumer health, the food industry demands flawless hygiene. Our FDA-certified textile protective covers preserve your small robots while ensuring strict sanitary compliance. Washable solutions resistant to all industrial cleaning products specific to this sector.

ATEX Zones

EXplosive atmospheres and hazardous environments: our ATEX protections are designed with rigorous material selection based on zone level. We ensure complete compliance and certification for operations in explosion-risk environments.

Extreme Temperature Cells

Our covers preserve robots in extreme thermal conditions: from -100°C in cold storage to +200°C in forge environments. Specialized materials ensure complete protection without robot performance degradation, even in multi-use cells.

Water Jet Cutting / Washing / Stripping

High-pressure environments up to 3500 bar with 100% humidity: our specialized covers enable robots to work in these extreme conditions without degradation. Optimal sealing and materials resist continuous hydrostatic pressure.

Enameling

Very aggressive long-term environment: our disposable or washable solutions adapt to enameling technique. You choose temporary low-cost protection or durable washable cover based on production cycles.

Welding / Brazing

We've developed protection solutions for all welding types. Fire-resistant fabrics selected for adaptability and extreme mechanical resistance to weld spray projections. Certified non-flammability protects robot completely.

Foundry / Forge

In foundries, robots face molten metals and significant radiant heat causing costly repeated failures. Our fire-resistant fabric covers eliminate production stops from premature failures. Protection against intense thermal radiation.

Surface Treatment / Shot Blasting

Very aggressive environment: HDPR solutions adapted before or after-project. We support throughout duration and offer evolving protection based on specific surface treatment needs.

Sealant

Sealant applications require specialized covers: we offer disposable solutions for short cycles or washable covers for long-duration applications based on need.

Medical

Medical environments and applicable standards require absolute rigor. Our expertise from multiple requests ensures covers totally adapted to medical sector robots and equipment. Certified compliance and complete traceability.

Nuclear

Particularly stringent domain: we've developed specific protections exported worldwide. Our covers meet absolute rigor required by nuclear sector with exacting certifications.

Plasma

Resist harmful plasma environments: specific covers resistant to extreme temperatures and molten metal projections. Complete movement freedom preserved for all plasma robot movements.

Machining

Machining involves record erosion levels. Robots face metal chips and very aggressive cutting oils continuously. Covers in specialized technical fabric dimensioned precisely. Metal accessories studied for optimal sealing.
