Protective suits for robots

Alan Johnson

Romheld Automation has released Roboworld Robosuits designed to protect robotic equipment from extreme manufacturing environments.

The suits, designed and developed from the high quality materials, are said to outperform other types of protection whilst providing "Robot Protection with Uncompromised Flexibility".

Robosuits can be deployed with any brand of robot in any application and industry.

Some examples include die casting, furnace tending, high temperature, machine tending, material handling, palletising, painting, surface finishing, clean rooms, cool rooms, and food handling.

Robosuit features include bellows built into the wrist and lower arm unit to permit unrestricted movement over the robot's complete working envelope and pockets are incorporated for protruding servo motors.

Flap protected industrial grade zippers extend the full length of each linear piece for quick and easy suit installation and removal.

Options include integrated heating or cooling (climate control), base covers, curtains, pressurisers and balancing unit covers.
