Protection Beyond the Robot

Protecting the Tools That Do the Work

Industrial robots rely on specialized end-of-arm tooling to perform the actual process. Depending on the application,
these tools may be exposed to dust, contamination, abrasion, paint mist, heat, sparks and welding spatter.
ROBCARE protective covers are engineered around the tool itself — considering geometry, movement, exposure zones, cable routing and service access.


Handling & Large Grippers

Protection for large grippers, handling frames and multi-point EOAT systems.

Spot Welding Guns

Protection for C-type and X-type robotic resistance welding guns.

Stud Welding Tools

Close-fitting protection for automated stud welding heads and associated components.

Grippers & Clamping Tools

Protection for pneumatic and mechanical grippers, clamps and compact handling tools.

Fixtures & Auxiliary Tools

Custom protection for fixtures, measuring units and auxiliary equipment within robotic work cells.

Different Zones. Different Protection.


Exposure varies across the tool. Depending on the process, individual zones may require resistance to spatter, heat, abrasion or contamination, while other areas benefit from lightweight, flexible or heat-reflective protection.
ROBCARE combines materials according to the actual exposure and functional requirements of each zone.

Application-Specific Material Selection


Aluminized Aramid Fabrics

Heat-reflective outer surfaces combined with heat-resistant aramid substrates for demanding welding environments.

Heat-Resistant Coated Fabrics

Flexible coated materials for areas requiring flame resistance, spatter protection and abrasion resistance.

Local Reinforcement Materials

Additional layers and reinforced panels can be incorporated in high-wear and high-exposure areas.

Material construction, weight and temperature performance are selected according to the specific application.

Engineered for Motion


Protection Without Restricting Motion

A protective cover must follow the tool — not interfere with it.Patterns are engineered around the actual movement of the welding gun or end-of-arm tool, with controlled allowances to reduce snagging, excessive tension and interference with the workpiece.

√ 

Accordion Sections

Flexible expansion around moving components.

√ 

Elastic Gathering

Controlled fit around arms, hoses and openings.

√ 

Quick-Release Fastening

Hook-and-loop, snap fasteners and straps for service access.

√ 

Heat-Resistant Ventilation Zones

Aramid-reinforced ventilation openings help release internal heat while maintaining protection in high-temperature environments.

√ 

Reinforced Openings

Additional protection around high-wear interfaces and tool exits.

Enough freedom to move. No unnecessary material to interfere.
Protection, movement and thermal management are considered as one integrated design.

Typical Applications

Automated stud welding in automotive body-in-white production.

√ 

Design Focus

Close-fitting geometry · Local heat protection ·
Service accessibility · Minimum interference

Unlike large resistance welding guns, robotic stud welding tools require compact protection around the welding head and associated components.
Close-fitting patterns help maintain accessibility in confined vehicle-body areas.

√ 

Protection Focus

Ambient Heat · Dust · Light Spatter ·
Contamination · Cable & Component Protection

√ 

Design Focus

Free finger movement · Accessible gripping surfaces ·
Simple installation · Lightweight protection

Protective covers for pneumatic and mechanical grippers operating in welding, handling and contaminated production environments.

Application 05


Fixture & Auxiliary Equipment Protection

Custom protection for fixtures, measuring units and auxiliary components operating in welding and high-temperature production environments.
Heat-reflective covers protect sensitive equipment from radiant heat, welding spatter and contamination while maintaining access to functional interfaces, mounting points and working openings.

√ 

Heat & Spatter Protection

Aluminized aramid materials help protect components
exposed to radiant heat and welding environments.

√ 

Precision Openings

Custom-cut openings maintain access to measuring points,
tool interfaces and functional components.

√ 

Interface Accessibility

Electrical, pneumatic and mechanical connections remain accessible for operation and maintenance.

√ 

Geometry-Specific Design

Each cover is engineered around the actual shape, mounting arrangement and functional requirements of the equipment.

Different geometries. Same engineering principle.
