Yaskawa Motoman MPX3500
Paint & Overspray Protection
for Industrial Robots
Protection against paint overspray, dust and process contamination —
engineered for flexible multi-axis robot movement.
PROTECTION SOLUTIONS
Designed for Robotic Painting Environments
Painting robots operate continuously in environments exposed to paint mist, overspray, airborne particles and process contamination.
A properly engineered robot cover helps isolate the robot body from these contaminants while maintaining the freedom of movement required for repetitive six-axis operation.
For painting applications, material selection and cover construction may address:
Paint overspray and contamination
Electrostatic charge accumulation
Dust and airborne particles
Fabric lint and pilling
Repetitive joint movement
Cleaning and maintenance requirements

Application
Industrial Painting
Protection Focus
Paint Overspray / Antistatic / Contamination
Cover Type
Custom Engineered
The large working envelope and extensive joint movement require the protective cover to provide sufficient flexibility without restricting robot motion.
Protection Performance
01
Antistatic
Antistatic material options help reduce
uncontrolled electrostatic charge accumulation
generated by movement and friction.
02
Paint & Overspray Resistant
The protective layer helps reduce direct
deposition of paint mist and overspray on the
robot body, joints and difficult-to-clean surfaces.
03
Dust & Contamination Control
The cover creates a physical barrier between
the robot and airborne process contamination,
helping reduce deposits on the robot surface.
04
Low-Lint / Low-Pilling
Suitable material construction helps
minimize additional fibers and particles
in paint-sensitive production environments.
05
Flexible & Motion-Compatible
Stretchable materials and engineered
expansion zones accommodate repeated
bending, rotation and extension of robot joints.
06
Flame-Retardant Options
Flame-retardant material options can be
evaluated where required according to the
painting process and operating environment.
07
Chemical & Solvent Resistance
Material options can be selected
according to paints, solvents and
cleaning agents used in the process.
08
Silicone-Free Option
Silicone-free material options
are available for paint-sensitive
production environments.
Engineered Around Robot Motion
More Than a Static Robot Cover
Painting robot protection must accommodate movement — not simply match the stationary shape of the robot.
The cover structure can incorporate additional material and controlled expansion zones around high-motion areas to reduce excessive tension during repeated robot movement.
√
Key design considerations include:
Joint-Specific Expansion Zones
Additional movement allowance at highly articulated areas.
Controlled Fabric Gathering
Helps accommodate extension and contraction without uncontrolled loose material.
Reinforced Wear Areas
Additional protection can be incorporated at locations subject to repeated friction.
Secure Fixation
Openings and attachment points are designed to keep the cover correctly positioned during operation.
Sectional Construction
Individual sections can be designed for easier installation, inspection and replacement.
Maintenance Access
Removable construction helps simplify scheduled robot inspection and servicing.
Material & Cover Options
Different materials and cover constructions can be selected according to the coating process, overspray exposure, robot movement and maintenance requirements.
Typical performance requirements may include:
Antistatic
Low-Lint
Silicone-Free Options
Flexible
Paint Resistant
Flame-Retardant Options
Final material selection is based on the actual operating environment and customer requirements.

The hollow-wrist construction allows painting equipment to be integrated around the wrist area while supporting smooth robot movement.
For this reason, the wrist, applicator configuration and surrounding equipment must be considered when engineering the protective cover.
