THE SOLUTION – EVO_dust protective cover for KUKA KR 240 for downtime

The EVO_dust protective cover for KUKA KR 240 for downtime is a solution that protects a non-working robot in a way that allows it to return to work quickly.
The construction of the cover allows the machine to work without the need to remove the cover. The over was designed in a way that allows the robot to work from time to time without too much wear.
