Complete Comparison of Small Robots

Types of Industrial Hazards Encountered

Small ABB robots operate in diverse environments presenting specific challenges for each application. Our textile protective covers are designed to neutralize these threats:

• Fine dust and electronic residue: in electronics and miniaturized manufacturing workshops
• Fluid splashes: cooling oil, lubrication fluids, cleaning products
• Contamination in food environment: food processing residue, chemical cleaning products
• Mechanical wear: repeated friction, abrasion from continuous movements
• Temperature variations: especially in refrigerated environments (IRB 1200 Hygienic)
• Humidity and corrosion: degradation of seals and joints without protection

Protective Cover Solutions

Our covers tailored to small robots offer several configurations depending on your environment:

• Complete single-piece cover: protection from axis 1 to axis 6 in one piece, ideal for compact robots
• Two-part cover: body (axes 1-4) and arm (axes 4-6) separated for easy access and maintenance
• Window-type cover: protection around the chassis with openings to free up workspace
• Specialized materials: depending on application (FDA certified food-safe, chemical-resistant, thermally insulating)
• Hygienic options: for food processing applications or sensitive sectors

Benefits of Tailored Textile Protection

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

Served Industries

Our small robot covers are tailored to numerous industrial sectors:

• Electronics and microelectronics: protection against fine dust and contamination
• Agro-food: FDA certified hygienic covers for food processing
• Pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals: sterile environments with humidity control
• Education and research: durable covers for intensive teaching installations
• Assembly and micro-assembly: optimal protection for precision manufacturing
• Medical and laboratory: materials compatible with sensitive environments

Food Processing

A sensitive sector directly linked to consumer health, the food industry requires flawless hygiene. Our FDA certified textile protective covers preserve your small robots while guaranteeing strict sanitary compliance. Washable and 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 according to 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 chambers to +200°C in forge environments. Specialized materials ensure complete protection without performance degradation, even in multi-purpose cells.

Waterjet Cutting / Washing / Blasting

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 resisting continuous hydrostatic pressure.

Enameling

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

Shoeing / Welding

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

Foundry / Forge

In foundry, 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 / Blasting

Highly aggressive environment: HDPR solutions adapted to pre- or post-project. We support throughout duration and offer evolving protection based on specific surface treatment needs.

Sealants

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

Medical

Medical field and applicable standards require absolute rigor. Our expertise developed from numerous requirements ensures covers perfectly adapted to robots and machinery in the medical sector. Certified compliance and complete traceability.

Nuclear

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

Plasma

Resisting harmful plasma environments: specific covers resisting extreme temperatures and molten metal splashes. Complete movement freedom preserved for all plasma robot movements.

Machining

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