Typical applications

Parts your team can source

From early development to repeat low-volume demand, the manufacturing route is reviewed around the part’s actual duty.

  • End effectors and gripper fingers
  • Camera and sensor mounts
  • Machine nests and assembly jigs
  • Guards, covers and control panels
  • Linear-motion brackets
  • Low-volume machine replacement parts

Processes

A practical route for each stage

CNC machine components

Stiff, accurate interfaces, bearing features and durable production hardware.

View process

Functional 3D printing

Lightweight end effectors, custom nests and rapid tooling iterations.

View process

Fabricated guards and panels

Sheet-metal protection, brackets, trays and machine enclosures.

Materials

Materials selected for the working environment

Aluminium

A strong lightweight default for robot tooling, frames, mounts and machine interfaces.

POM / acetal

Low friction and good dimensional stability for guides, nests and wear components.

Nylon and fibre-reinforced polymers

Lightweight functional parts and quick end-effector iterations.

Steel and stainless steel

High stiffness, wear resistance or washdown durability where required.

Design considerations

What to define before manufacture

01

Mass and inertia

For robot tooling, share payload and centre-of-mass limits so unnecessary weight can be removed safely.

02

Repeatable location

Call out datums, dowels, bearing fits and interfaces that control calibration and repeatability.

03

Production environment

Identify duty cycle, impact, abrasion, chemicals, washdown and temperature before choosing the material and finish.

Machine safety and guarding must be assessed for the complete installation. Manufactured parts are supplied to the approved design and specification.

Custom robotics parts

Send the part, drawing and production requirements for engineering review.
