Why you should use a protective cover?

What can you gain by using protective covers for industrial robots and machines?
CHECK WHAT YOU CAN SAVE AND GAIN BY USING EVOTEC PROTECTIVE COVERS

1. Saving time on periodic cleaning of the robot and workstation

By using protective covers you can reduce the number of hours spent on cleaning the robot and workstation. Usually in production plants, the lines are stopped once a week to perform preventive maintenance and clean the machines. Two people can spend 2 to 5 hours on these tasks. If you use a cover, this time is reduced to only 1 hour needed for just one person to take off the cover and clean it.

YOU GAIN
From 24 to 240 saved work hours in a year.

2. Extended lifetime and productive time of the robot

EVOTEC covers protect not only the robot itself, but also its subassemblies and equipment, e.g.:

• gears • conduits and guides • grippers • actuators and heads.

Using covers extends the lifetime of the robot and its parts and subassemblies. The cost of gear replacement can reach even EUR 10 000.

Using covers extends the lifetime of the robot and its parts and subassemblies. The cost of gear replacement can reach even EUR 10 000.

YOU GAIN
EUR 5 000 to 10 000 in case of delayed gear replacement

3. Reliability and less unplanned downtime due to malfunctions in production lines

Thanks to protective covers for industrial robots and machines, you keep your robot safe even in very demanding production processes. The covers also allow to save time and effort spent by employees monitoring correct work of machines in production.

YOU GAIN
Workplace safety, reliability and peace of mind.

4. Continuity of work

Using protective covers enables continuous, malfunction-free work and eliminates production errors such as:

• contamination of the product with oils from the machine • loss of repeatability • decreased quality due to loosened gears

YOU GAIN
Unchanging high quality of the product.

5. Aesthetics and order in the workplace

Protective covers are a simple way to support organization of the workstation and 5S efforts in the facility, which reduces the expenses on cleaning.

YOU GAIN
Order, cleanliness and reduction of cleaning costs.

6. Protection of the robot from excessive wear

If you protect your robot properly, you keep its value from decreasing dramatically. By using professional covers, you protect the robot from many harmful factors, such as corrosion and accumulation of contaminants. This reduces the wear of the robot, keeping it in better technical and visual condition.

YOU GAIN
Increased profit in case of robot reselling.
