1. Complex Trajectory Adaptability
- Utilizes modular splicing design to synchronize expansion/contraction with multi-axis linkage trajectories, avoiding collisions between the cover and tools/workpieces.
- Example: In five-axis machining centers, the cover achieves 360° blind-spot-free coverage via flexible joints synchronized with rotary axes.
2. Multi-Dimensional Contaminant Isolation
- Dual-layer sealing structure: Outer layer resists chip abrasion; inner layer blocks coolant penetration.
- Experimental data shows 60% improvement in machine cleanliness and reduced contamination-related failures with dual-layer covers.
II. Typical Structural Types and Applications
1. Armor-Type Protective Covers
- Features: Stainless steel armor plates withstand 900°C debris.
- Application: In titanium alloy machining, armor covers endure 5000 high-frequency impacts/minute, protecting lead screws from thermal deformation.
2. Spiral Steel Belt Covers
- Features: 0.5mm-thick stainless steel spiral bands for heat resistance and tensile strength.
- Application: In multi-axis laser-cutting robots, these covers tolerate 1200°C laser radiation while maintaining ±0.1mm positioning accuracy.
3. Bellows-Type Protective Covers
- Features: 10:1 compression ratio and compact folding (50mm thickness) for space-constrained multi-axis machines.
- Application: In compact five-axis centers, the cover extends to 1.2m travel.
III. Material and Process Impact on Performance
1. Material Selection
- Nylon composites: Lightweight (1.14g/cm³) and wear-resistant for high-speed multi-axis tools.
- Stainless steel + graphite coating: Corrosion-resistant and self-lubricating for humid environments.
2. Manufacturing Processes
- Laser welding: Enhances seam strength, extending cover lifespan by 50% under high-frequency vibration.
- 3D printing: Enables custom geometries for non-standard multi-axis machine trajectories.
3. Specialized Materials
- PTFE-coated covers: Withstand 800°C debris in aluminum alloy processing, tripling service life.
