Robotic Tooling Protection
End-of-Arm Tooling
Protection
Custom Protection for EOAT, Grippers & Welding Tools
Engineered around tool geometry, motion, process exposure
and maintenance access.
Custom-Engineered · Application-Specific · Motion-Optimized
PROTECTION SOLUTIONS
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.

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.
