Sealing and Ingress Protection Checks
Every seal is an inspection item, not a permanent feature.
What to check
| Location | What to inspect |
|---|---|
| Door seals | Compression, cracking and contamination |
| Cable glands | Tightness and correct type |
| Enclosure vents and filters | Condition and replacement interval |
| Robot joint seals | Wear, cuts and leakage |
| Connectors | Mating integrity and moisture ingress |
Practical notes
- Photograph seal condition during every planned maintenance visit.
- Replace damaged seals before the next wash-down or dust season.
- Check whether the cabinet class still matches the robot class.
Ingress ratings apply to specific components and depend on seal condition. Confirm requirements with the supplier.
