For added protection in metal applications including metal die casting, sand casting, forging, and machining, IRB 1300’s Foundry Plus 2 version includes the use of stainless steel on the end effector. This will prevent rusting that can occur when liquids are applied to wash away dust particles and metallic debris. By helping to protect against premature wear, this feature can help to prolong the robot’s service life, minimizing the disruption caused by downtime and unscheduled repairs.
