We machine production parts for Robotics and Automation customers, from single prototypes through to repeat batches of tens of thousands. Typical work covers joint housings, harmonic drive adapters and end-effector plates, usually in 6061-T6 or 7075-T6.
What makes Robotics and Automation different from general machining is not the geometry — it is the documentation and the failure modes. The parts that come back are the ones where repeatability depends on the flatness of mounting faces, not on cosmetic finish was not designed out at the start.
Parts we machine for Robotics and Automation
- Joint housings
- Harmonic drive adapters
- End-effector plates
- Linear rail mounts
Materials we run for Robotics and Automation
- 6061-T6
- 7075-T6
- 4140 pre-hard
- Steel
Standards and documentation
- ISO 9283 for performance, ISO 10218 for safety
Tell us which standard applies and which documents you need with the shipment. Dimensional reports, material certificates, certificates of conformity and first article inspection reports are all available, and it is much cheaper to agree them before the batch runs than to reconstruct them afterwards.
Where Robotics and Automation projects usually go wrong
- Repeatability depends on the flatness of mounting faces, not on cosmetic finish
- Cable routing is usually discovered too late
Tolerance and finish we hold
| Requirement | Typical capability |
|---|---|
| General tolerance | +/-0.02 mm flatness on mounting faces; bearing bores to H7 |
| Surface finish | Ra 0.4 to 3.2 um |
| Material certification | EN 10204 3.1 on request |
| Inspection | Dimensional report, CMM report, FAIR |
| Packaging | VCI and desiccant for steel, individual wrap for cosmetic faces |
Frequently asked questions
Do you have experience with Robotics and Automation parts?
Yes. Typical parts we run are joint housings and harmonic drive adapters. We can share the process route and inspection approach for a comparable part before you commit.
Which materials do you recommend for Robotics and Automation?
6061-T6, 7075-T6, 4140 pre-hard, Steel. The right choice depends on which of corrosion, weight, strength and cost is the binding constraint, and we will say so plainly rather than quoting the most expensive option.
What documentation do you provide?
A dimensional report and a certificate of conformity as standard. Material certificates, CMM reports, FAIR and PPAP submissions are available when your quality system requires them.
What tolerances do you hold for Robotics and Automation parts?
+/-0.02 mm flatness on mounting faces; bearing bores to H7 is typical for the industry. Tighter tolerance on individual features is possible and is quoted against the specific feature rather than the whole part.
