Material type
PA plastic
Features
New accessory for e-Series and CB3 robots: Lid Kit Pro - increased chemical resistance.
Tested against the following fluids:
- Rocol Ultracut EVO 250 in a 1:20 (4.8%) dilution
- Rems Sanitol (Undiluted)
- Houghton Hocut 4260 in a 1:9 (10%) dilution
- Houghton Hocut 4940
Restrictions for use close to electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices:
The new lids have been improved to provide more resistance to harsh cutting fluids.
However, the antistatic properties of the material used in these spare part lids do not fulfill our subset of
product requirements, so in case of handling electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices e.g. in the
electronic industry, we advise not to use these lids in any ESD sensitive application until further notice. Here the original lids fulfill the requirements.
Valid from early q3 2021
Robots produced from the beginning of Q3 2021 has been produced with lids of plast material PC/ASA
Material type
PC/ASA (POLYCARBONATE + ASA) - The lid's inside is coated with aluminum by vacuum metalizing.
Features
Polycarbonate / Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate blends (PC)/ASA offer many of the same benefits other plast materials, but with higher mechanical properties and higher temperature resistance. Key characteristics of PC/ASA are its excellent resistance to weathering and UV degradation, resistance to color fading, retention of properties over time, temperature resistance and excellent mechanical properties.

Material type
ABS ( Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene
Features
Chemicals that can influence ABS plastic: concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids soluble in: esters, ketones, ethylene dichloride and acetone swollen by: glacial acetic acid, carbon tetrachloride and aromatic hydrocarbons. In general esters are very aggressive to ABS plastic, so be careful to use appropriate cooling liquids containing no esters to avoid any damage to the lids.
