Eclore Actuators' Custom Protective Bellows Integrated into Stäubli SCARA Robots

Eclore Actuators has announced the integration of its custom protective bellows into Stäubli's SCARA robot lineup, following a two-year partnership. This innovation, first showcased at Interpack in Düsseldorf, Germany, aims to meet the stringent hygiene requirements of the food processing industry and other controlled environments. The collaboration addresses the need for enhanced protection of Stäubli's TS2 SCARA robots, which operate under strict hygiene standards and are exposed to harsh chemicals. Eclore's high-performance copolymer bellows provide durability for at least 10 million cycles and are compatible with FDA standards, ensuring optimal mechanical protection against dust, splashes, and high-pressure washdowns. Looking ahead, the fully integrated solution is now available as a standard option, enhancing the reliability of Stäubli equipment in critical environments. This development is expected to extend machine lifespan and significantly reduce technical downtime, making it a vital advancement for the robotics and food processing sectors. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
