Our Protective Covers for Medium Articulated Robots

Types of Industrial Aggression Encountered

Medium ABB robots face aggressive industrial environments requiring specialized and robust textile protection:

  • Welding sparks and metal projections: risk of textile burn and seal degradation
  • Oil and cooling fluid spray: joint contamination and greasy buildup
  • Abrasive metal chips: accelerated surface wear and connection degradation
  • Fine metallic dust: penetration into joints causing internal wear
  • Extreme temperature variations: in welding or high-speed machining
  • Humidity and corrosion: in humid environments or with frequent washing
  • Continuous mechanical wear: repeated friction and tooling contact

Protection Cover Solutions

Our covers adapted to medium robots offer several configurations based on your specific application:

  • Complete monobloc cover: full axis 1-6 protection in one piece for welding and machining
  • Bipartite modular cover: body (axes 1-4) and arm (axes 4-6) separated for easy maintenance access
  • Window-type cover: for robots with limited workspace or fixed tooling
  • Welding torch protection: specialized sleeve for protecting torches and connectors
  • High-temperature materials: textiles resistant to sparks and extreme heat
  • Chemical-resistant materials: for machining with corrosive fluids or aggressive environments

Benefits of Adapted Textile Protection

  • Drastic corrective maintenance reduction: fewer failures = fewer costly stops
  • Significant service life extension: protected medium robot operates 3-5 years longer
  • Spare parts savings: joints, seals and cables protected from premature wear
  • Increased productivity: less maintenance downtime = more production time
  • Enhanced safety: protects operators against sparks, spray and contaminants
  • Environmental compliance: limits oil leaks and industrial residue emissions
