Longer pendant life, lower operating costs
Dropping a teach pendant does not have to mean a repair or replacement. The flexible bumper absorbs impact and helps prevent mechanical damage. The savings extend beyond the pendant itself to the time spent replacing it and the losses caused by interrupted production.
Lower repair costs
The bumper absorbs impact energy and reduces the risk of mechanical damage. If it protects the pendant, the repair costs following a drop are avoided.
Longer pendant life
Protection during everyday handling helps keep the pendant in service for longer and reduce the need for premature replacement.
Lower risk of downtime
If the pendant remains undamaged and functional after a drop, there is no need to replace it or stop production because of damage to the pendant.
Protection during everyday handling
Impact absorption
The flexible frame surrounds the pendant and helps reduce the consequences of drops or impacts during handling.
A more secure grip
The pronounced surface texture improves grip. Perforations reduce weight and allow liquids to drain away.
Access to controls
Shaped cutouts preserve access to the controls, USB, stylus and cable pass-through.


The bumper reduces the risk of mechanical damage. It does not guarantee that the pendant will survive every drop without damage.
What's included

Fitting the bumper and using it in operation
Procedure for ABB IRC5

Frequently asked questions
Is the teach pendant included?
No. The package contains the protective bumper and an adapter for the original cradle. The pendant, separate hand strap and stylus are not included.
Is the ABB brand name enough to choose a bumper?
No. The exact pendant model matters. This bumper is designed for ABB IRC5 DSQC 679 with part number 3HAC028357-001.
Does the bumper also protect the screen surface?
To protect the screen surface against scratches, we recommend a separate screen protector for ABB IRC5. The protective frame and screen protector serve different purposes.
Can the pendant with the bumper be placed in the original cradle?
An adapter for the original cradle is included for this purpose. Its installation is covered in the fitting instructions.
How can I request bumpers for several pendants or delivery abroad?
Send the pendant models, quantities and delivery country. We will check the versions and prepare a quotation for the bumpers and suitable screen protection.
Add screen protection
For the ABB IRC5 bumper, we offer a model-specific screen protector in packs of 5. The bumper protects the pendant body, while the screen protector helps prevent scratches on the screen surface.

Protective Covers and Films for Robot Teach Pendants: No More Repairs Thanks to Prevention
A dropped robot controller, everyday handling in harsh industrial conditions, or a damaged display – it takes very little for a faulty teach pendant to stop your line, delay maintenance and increase repair costs. Yet you can proactively protect FANUC, KUKA and ABB robot control panels with robust covers and protective films that prevent display damage.

Over the course of his career at FOXON, our sales representative Tomáš Krepčík has handled hundreds of damaged teach pendants that were later repaired. It made him wonder whether there was anything that could protect these expensive devices from mechanical damage. Today, we are a European distributor of special protective covers and films.
