Robot Protective Covers for Temperature-Controlled Environments
Temperature-controlled robot protective covers are designed to protect industrial robots operating inside climate-controlled environments, including thermal chambers, hot and cold testing areas, and special production lines with strictly regulated ambient temperatures. In these applications, robots are exposed not only to temperature extremes but also to condensation, humidity, and rapid temperature fluctuations.
Unlike standard heat protection covers, robot protective covers for temperature-controlled environments focus on maintaining stable operating conditions for robotic components while preventing damage caused by cold, heat, moisture, or thermal shock. These covers provide effective insulation and surface protection without interfering with robot movement, accuracy, or cycle time.
Climate-controlled robot covers are widely used in automotive testing facilities, electronics manufacturing, material testing laboratories, and industrial climate chambers. In low-temperature environments, the covers help protect cables, seals, and mechanical joints from stiffness and brittleness. In high-temperature or alternating hot-cold conditions, they reduce thermal stress and condensation risks on sensitive robot parts.
Each temperature-controlled robot protective cover can be custom-made according to the robot model, axis configuration, working range, and environmental conditions. Flexible designs allow full robot articulation while maintaining effective protection across all axes. Materials and insulation layers are selected based on operating temperature range, humidity levels, and exposure duration.
By using robot protection covers designed for climate-controlled environments, manufacturers can ensure stable robot performance, reduce maintenance frequency, and extend equipment service life in demanding temperature-regulated applications.
Why choose Tehu climate controlled robot covers?
The Climate Controlled Robot Covers from Tehu is a fully engineered, custom-fit protective suit that actively maintains a stable working environment for robot arms in both extreme cold and heat. Designed for repeatable industrial use, it combines thermal insulation, an internal heating/cooling system and modular serviceability so your automation keeps producing — not repairing.
Our climate-controlled robot protection cover prevents lubricant thickening, joint errors and sensor faults caused by extreme temperatures, while protecting against dust, splashes and sparks — extending robot life and minimizing unexpected downtime.
Advantages of the Environmental Robot Covers:
1. Highly customized, one machine one solution, the robot is no longer naked;
2. Reasonable design and cutting, beautiful appearance, detachable structure design, easy to repair and maintain, especially for robots that often need regular debugging and maintenance, saving labor and time;
3. Reusable, saving enterprise costs;
4. Rotating flanges can be installed on the 4th and 6th axes of the robot to improve the sealing and flexibility of the protective clothing and the robot. The protective clothing is entangled, has a longer service life, and provides better protection;
5. The special care climate protective clothing uses a special composite material, which contains thermal insulation and flame retardant cotton inside. It has certain thermal insulation, windproof, waterproof and fireproof properties. The internal heating system and temperature control system are combined to control the temperature around the robot at a normal working level.
5. In a low temperature environment of -40° to 0°, the temperature control suit can make the internal temperature of the protective suit reach above 20° through auxiliary heating, ensuring the normal operation of the robot in a low temperature environment;
6. In a high temperature environment of >40°, the temperature of the protective suit can be reduced to less than 40° by ventilating the temperature control suit, ensuring the normal operation of the robot in a low temperature environment;

Protection for Robots in Climate Chambers and Thermal Testing Areas
Reliable Protection in Both Hot and Cold Industrial Conditions: Cold-chain logistics, outdoor robotic stations, electronics manufacturing, medical device assembly, automotive body shops and any environment where temperature swings, dust, liquid spray or radiant heat threaten robot reliability. The system is particularly valuable where robots must start reliably in very low temperatures or operate near high-temperature processes.
