Designed for KUKA KR 20 R1810 and KR 20 R1810-2 robots operating in dusty and abrasive industrial environments.
The protective cover helps shield the robot surface, joints and exposed components from grinding dust, fine particles, metal chips and general process contamination generated during machining and material-removal operations.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

The large working envelope and extensive joint movement require the protective cover to provide sufficient flexibility without restricting robot motion.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Designed Around Robot Motion<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n

\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n \t\t\t

A robot cover is not simply shaped around the robot's static dimensions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

During operation, the KR 20 R1810 moves through multiple rotating and articulating axes.
The protective cover therefore requires controlled fabric allowance and flexible sections around critical joints.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The cover design combines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Two-Piece Construction<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

The protective system uses a two-piece construction<\/strong> designed around the geometry and movement of the robot.Dividing the cover into separate sections simplifies installation and removal while allowing each section to accommodate different movement requirements.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n
