Lubricants and cooling spray used in die casting machines coat mechanical assemblies and electrical compartments. Metal spits project at high temperatures. Airborne particles and sand infiltrate joints and wrist seals. Steam and washing cycles add persistent moisture ingress risk. Together, these factors corrode surfaces, degrade robotic components and significantly reduce equipment productivity at every casting station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Designed_to_withstand_protection_standards_for_foundry_robots\"><\/span><strong>Designed to withstand: protection standards for foundry robots<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Robots designed for foundry applications must meet strict requirements based on resistance to lubricants and cooling spray used in die casting machines. When a robot carries the IP67 rating, it is completely sealed from base to wrist against solid or fluid substances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On such robots, a unique combination of chromation and steel primer protection beneath a layer of two-component epoxy paint makes the robot resistant to corrosion and daily high-pressure steam washing. This design reduces ingress risk into mechanical assemblies and limits surface degradation. However, IP rating and coating standards alone do not shield external surfaces from thermal stress, abrasive particles or handling impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color:#0a5676;border-left:5px solid #ff2600;border-radius:8px;padding:20px 24px;margin:32px 0;display:flex;align-items:flex-start;gap:18px;\">\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-size:30px;line-height:1.2;flex-shrink:0;\">\ud83c\udfed<\/span>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<div>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<p style=\"color:#ffffff;margin:0 0 10px 0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;opacity:0.9;\">RCC designs custom fabric covers engineered for foundry and forge environments \u2014 built for heat, metal spits, abrasive particles and sustained industrial use.<\/p>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcc.fr\/en\/foundry-forge\/\" style=\"color:#ff2600;font-weight:700;font-size:15px;text-decoration:none;\">\u2192 Discover our foundry and forge robot protection solutions<\/a>\n\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Covers_protect_robots_and_reduce_maintenance_on_the_production_line\"><\/span><strong>Covers protect robots and reduce maintenance on the production line<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For robots that operate in harsh foundry conditions, protective covers for robots provide a cost-effective additional layer of protection.
