Centryco has worked with hundreds of companies to satisfy their many automation and engineering needs. Our protective covers and shields can be applied and adjusted to accommodate a multitude of equipment, tools, and parts.
Our covers are used to protect vital equipment and can prevent high-cost system repairs. Examples of our product applications include covers for ball screws, laser beams, vises, jacks, lathes, hydraulic/pneumatic cylinders, die sets, and more. We also offer user-friendly roller blinds/shade rollers to improve workspace aesthetics.
For some manufacturers, an important component of production is Coordinated Measurement Machines or CMM. For these machines to perform properly, this positioning system must operate without outside interference as these systems are highly sensitive. Dust and other contaminants can have a serious impact on how they function. Our perma-pleated screens can protect important CMM mechanisms such as linear rails, ball screws, and lead screws.
We also have plenty of experience working with Metrologic technology. We know that to perform such advanced measuring techniques, it requires a sterile and uncontaminated environment. We offer tools that can help ensure desktop metrology equipment is airtight and obstruction free.
Challenges in Robotic and Automated Environments
Robotic systems often operate in harsh environments where motion, heat, and debris are constant concerns. Dust, chips, coolant, and other contaminants can damage exposed components such as linear guides, cylinders, and actuators. Repeated motion adds wear to covers that aren’t built to handle such strain. Without proper protection, downtime and maintenance costs increase. This is where custom industrial bellows play a critical role in shielding exposed elements and preserving system performance.
Centryco’s Protective Solutions for Robotics
Centryco provides proven protective components made for high-performance automation systems.
- Custom industrial bellows protect critical moving parts from chips, coolants, and debris. Available in sewn, RF-welded, or molded styles, these bellows are built for repetitive motion and environmental resistance.
- Custom accordion bellows are ideal for guarding linear rails and guideways. Their foldable structure allows for smooth compression and extension without sacrificing durability.
- Flat bellows are used to create flexible barriers in compact robotic cells or testing stations. These covers help keep delicate equipment safe in tight spaces.
Each product is built to fit the specific dimensions and conditions of the application.
Common Robotic Applications Served
Centryco’s covers and bellows support a wide range of robotic and automated systems, including:
- Linear rail guides in CNC and pick-and-place systems
- Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinder protection
- Bellows for 3D printing platforms
- Enclosures for metrology and laser-cutting equipment
- Screens for automated inspection and calibration setups
Custom Engineering Capabilities
Centryco works closely with engineers and integrators to develop solutions that match precise system requirements. Whether starting from a CAD drawing or working from key measurements, our team provides quick design feedback and offers material choices that support thermal, chemical, or abrasive resistance.
