    Robot Covers

    Shield your robot arm from dirt and damage with these covers. They’re designed to fit specific robot models, so they’re easy to install and remove—you don’t need to cut, sew, or customize them. Choose a cover that matches the manufacturer and model number of your arm.

    Polyester fabric covers are a good choice for most painting applications. These covers are clean room laundered, HEPA dried, and individually vacuum sealed, so they won’t shed dust or fibers onto wet paint or coatings. They also absorb paint, oil, and other fluids to keep them from dripping onto your work surface. These covers protect your arm from light paint splashes and spills, but large amounts of fluid will soak through the fabric. Use the snaps on covers for Fanuc arms to easily install and remove them. Covers for Universal Robots (UR) arms are made from a stretchy fabric that hugs your arm without restricting its movement.

    Plastic-Laminated Polyester Fabric
    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Robot Covers. Plastic-Laminated Polyester Fabric.
    Plastic-laminated polyester fabric covers are nonabsorbent, so they’ll keep paint, water, and other liquids from damaging your robot arm. They are also washed, dried, and individually vacuum sealed in clean rooms, so they won’t shed dust or fibers onto wet paint or coatings. Elastic bands built into these covers keep them in place while the robot moves. They’re often used for powder-coat painting, since you can clean the powder coat off of the surface and recycle it. Liquids won’t soak through these covers, unless they are corrosive.

    PVC/Vinyl Plastic
    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Robot Covers. PVC/Vinyl Plastic.
    PVC/vinyl plastic covers are more abrasion resistant than polyester, so they’re often used for robot arms in applications such as sorting, packing, and loading. They protect your arm from dust, powders, and water-soluble coolants and cutting fluids. These covers are not waterproof, but they will provide some protection from water and other liquids.

    CSM/Vinyl Plastic
    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Robot Covers. CSM/Vinyl Plastic.
    Use CSM/vinyl plastic covers to protect your arms from heavy abrasion, such as from flying chips. They’re durable, cut and tear resistant, and they last up to three times longer than PVC/vinyl plastic covers. These covers are often used for robot arms in cutting and deburring applications. They provide some protection from water and other liquids, but they are not waterproof. They’ll also break down from amines, which are commonly found in cleaners.

    Aluminum-Coated Kevlar Fabric
    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Robot Covers. Aluminum-Coated Kevlar Fabric.
    For extreme temperature applications, use Kevlar covers. They have the largest temperature range of any cover material, so you can insulate your robot arm in freezers, near ovens and furnaces, and in welding applications. They have an insulation R-value of 0.07, which means they protect your arm from extreme temperature changes.

    For extreme temperature applications, use Kevlar covers. They have the largest temperature range of any cover material, so you can insulate your robot arm in freezers, near ovens and furnaces, and in welding applications. They have an insulation R-value of 0.07, which means they protect your arm from extreme temperature changes.
    Climate-controlled covers fill with hot or cold air to keep your robot running within its recommended operating temperature range in extreme environments, such as freezers or furnaces. The air can limit a robot’s range of motion, so only use these covers if your robot will be working consistently in very hot or cold areas. These covers require heating and cooling units (sold separately), which connect to ports in the stainless steel base of the covers.
    Heating and Cooling Units for Robot Covers—These units have a built-in thermostat—adjust its set point, and the unit will run until it reaches that temperature.

    Contact-Sensing Robot Safety Padding

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Robot Safety Padding. Contact-Sensing Robot Safety Padding.
    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Contains Border. Robot Safety Padding. Contact-Sensing Robot Safety Padding.
    Cover robot arms and tools with this padding to help prevent injuries in areas where people are working nearby. When the padding is touched, pressure sensors signal your machine to stop moving, halting it within nine milliseconds. If a collision takes place, the soft polyurethane foam will lessen the impact. With this padding installed, you can operate robots closer to people and at higher speeds than with other safety equipment, such as machine guards. You can also combine it with other equipment to create multi-step safety systems.
    Each pad has LEDs that change color to indicate their status. When the lights are blue, the padding is fully operational. Pads that sense a pressure change turn red and the surrounding pads turn yellow, clearly showing the impact area. They're powered by internal micropumps, so you don't need an outside compressed air source. The double circuit design makes sure that if one circuit fails, the other will continue to function.
    All components meet international design standards for safety. Using this padding helps you meet ISO/TS 15066 standards for safe interactions between humans and robots. Before running robots, you should carry out a safety risk assessment as described in ANSI/RIA R15.06 to ensure a safe environment for those working near the robot.
    Controllers
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Robot Safety Padding. Contact-Sensing Robot Safety Padding, Controllers.
    Controllers operate up to 15 safety pads. Plug them into the safety port on your PLC or robotic controller to operate—there's no additional software or programming needed.

    Flange

    Flanges are compatible with most robot tools and accessories, so you can switch out different tools without needing custom-fit padding for each one. However, flanges are not as sensitive as custom-fit padding, and they extend the length of your robot arm. They come with a controller, cords, and adapters that match several common mounting patterns. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

    Modular Padding

    To build your own safety assembly, use modular padding. It's often used with carriages, guide rails, and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs). While it's ideal for unique designs, this padding takes up more space than custom-fit padding, and is harder to install. Pads are sold individually, and you'll need a separate controller for every 15 pads. Each pad consists of a base and a foam layer, which connect to each other with magnets. Screw the base onto your part (mounting fasteners not included), then attach the foam to the base.
