ABB 3HAC23857-001 Protective Cover for ABB Robot Housings

Protective Cover for ABB Robot Housings

Specifications

Industrial Applications

• Replacing a cover cracked, split or deformed after a collision with a fixture, workpiece, pallet or neighbouring equipment.
• Refitting a cover left off during maintenance, so the cell is not run with an open housing.
• Planned maintenance on robots working in dusty, oily or coolant-heavy environments — casting, machining, welding and press lines.
• Restoring the enclosure on material handling, automotive and general automation cells where swarf and debris reach the arm structure.
• Spares provisioning for mixed ABB fleets, where one damaged cover would otherwise take the cell out of production.

Design Purpose

• Act as the first mechanical barrier over the structure it covers, taking the impact so the parts underneath do not.
• Keep dust, oil, coolant and swarf out of the housing, protecting the cabling, connectors and mechanical components inside.
• Keep the housing closed and its contents retained, so nothing works loose or rubs during robot motion.
• Provide a low-cost, quickly replaced sacrificial part: renewing a damaged cover costs far less than repairing what it protects.

Common Failure Modes

• Cracks or splits from impact — a collision with a fixture, workpiece or another machine.
• Deformation that leaves gaps between the cover and the housing, so dust and oil get in.
• Broken or worn mounting clips and fixing bosses, causing a loose fit, rattling, or the cover coming off during operation.
• Material aging — brittleness, warping or discolouration after long exposure to heat, oil, coolant or weld spatter.
• Missing cover after service work, with the robot left running with an open housing.
• Ordering the wrong variant, because this article has no public datasheet and covers differ by robot model, variant and protection class.

Why Choose Us

• Supplied against the article number from our own procurement record, not from a reseller description.
• We confirm the fit by your robot model and serial number before quoting — this article has no publicly documented model list.
• We do not invent specifications: where ABB publishes no datasheet, we say so instead of quoting third-party dimensions or material claims.
• Inspected for cracks, deformation and damaged mounting points before packing.
• New original or used original; we confirm the condition with you before you order.
• Carefully packed and shipped worldwide from Shanghai, China via DHL / FedEx / UPS.
