Typically robot suppliers do not manufacture their robots to be suitably protected for use in a laboratory environment. Chemical handling robots require extra protective measures (armour) to ensure an extended lifespan of the robotic system. Many chemicals are corrosive or react with robot components leading to premature failure of bearings and cables.

Argon Technology manufacture and provide custom robot armour to suit robots from any manufacturer. Argon can retrofit robot armour protection to any system. The armour is a specialty engineered composite polymer which provides extreme protection from even the most harmful chemicals.

Robot Armour offers:

• High resistance to chemical splashes or spills
• Protection from corrosive acid or chemical fumes
• Free mobility of all robotic joints and cables
