Robots are increasingly deployed in environments that challenge the longevity of their external components.

The weight of robot casings plays a pivotal role in shaping the overall performance and efficiency of automated systems.

Choosing the right housing for industrial robots directly impacts their performance, durability, and ease of integration into complex systems.

1. Background and TrendsLightweight demand: Every 10% reduction in vehicle weight can reduce fuel consumption by 6%–8%. With a density of 0.9–1.5 g/cm³, plastics are ideal alternatives to metals such as steel (7.6 g/cm³).Environmental protection and energy savings: Plastics are recyclable, and some
