Robotics are widely used in industrial environments with harsh operating conditions, such as steel mills, aluminum smelters, foundries, refineries, and petrochemical plants. However, without proper protection from the hazards of these conditions, tens of thousands of dollars that have been invested in robotic equipment can be lost in an instant. To remain effective, robotics must weather extreme conditions without corroding or degrading, and be resistant to dust, chemicals, moisture, and temperature extremes. Robot clothing and robot covers have been used to prevent component failure, allow robots to operate in a larger range of conditions, and extend the operational life of the robots. However, many of the fabrics traditionally used have a high level of flexural failure, and low resistance to heat and abrasion.
THERMOPAK® Robot Covers are innovative, durable covers that benefit robots working in a range of dangerous or industrial environments, and in applications where a flexible, high strength, high-temperature fabric is required. Manufactured from our ARMATEX® SBN 13-602 Coated Fabric, our robot covers have exceptional strength and incredibly high flexural failure resistance, as well as high chemical and thermal stability. THERMOPAK® Robot Covers can also be manufactured from coated fabrics specific to your application requirements.
