"We're thrilled to extend our Pendant Armor product line to now include Kawasaki and Mitsubishi teach pendant protection," said Chris Tur, president and CEO of Roboworld. "Our protective bumpers have saved our customers from costly — sometimes as much as $15k — mistakes that an inadvertent drop or spill can incur. With Pendant Armor protection, our customers can avoid downtime and save thousands of dollars."
The Kawasaki E-series Bumper ($329), Kawasaki E-series Hanger ($35), Kawasaki E-series Screen Protector ($60), Mitsubishi R86 Bumper ($329), and Mitsubishi R86 Tempered Glass ($75) are now available for ordering. Distributor pricing is available upon request.
Pendant Armor is the first shock-absorbing, chemical-resistant bumper that guards a teach pendant against drops, spills, and extreme manufacturing conditions. Manufactured from Santoprene™, Pendant Armor is designed and engineered to allow for custom molding around each OEM's unique pendant architecture, regardless of size or shape. Pendant Armor protects the exposed components most often damaged when the pendant hits the ground, while its perforated, open-backed design minimizes additional weight without sacrificing critical protection.
Pendant Armor protective bumpers are available at www.Roboworld.com for ABB, Denso, FANUC, KEBA, KUKA, Ready Robotics, Universal Robots, Wittmann, Yaskawa, and now Kawasaki and Mitsubishi teach pendants.
