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 and USB. The 6-axis mouse remains functional. An integrated retaining flap helps prevent loss of the stylus.


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

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.
