Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are best for robot arm components?
7075-T6 aluminium provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio for non-load-bearing arms. Hardened steel (52100) and 300M are preferred for high-load actuators and joints. Titanium offers maximum strength with minimal weight for premium applications. We optimise material selection based on your specific force requirements and operating environment.
What tolerances can you achieve for robotic components?
We consistently deliver ±0.01 mm repeatability for standard robotic components, with tighter tolerances (±0.005 mm) available for precision encoder mounts and critical bearing surfaces. Our process controls ensure tight concentricity and run-out specifications essential for smooth robotic motion.
Do you support small-batch and prototype robotic parts?
Yes — we specialise in rapid prototyping and small-batch production. Whether you need one custom joint or fifty actuator housings, we can accommodate your volume requirements with consistent quality and quick turnaround times.
Can you design custom robotic components from scratch?
Absolutely. Our engineering team works with you to develop custom designs optimised for your specific robotic application. We provide design consultation on materials, geometry and manufacturing methods to achieve the best performance and cost.
How long are lead times for custom robotic parts?
Lead times vary based on complexity and volume. Prototypes typically require 3-5 weeks. Production batches depend on part complexity, but we aim for 4-8 week delivery on standard components. Rush services are available for time-critical projects.
Do you offer assembly and sub-assembly services?
Yes — we provide full assembly and integration support. From precision-machined components to fully-assembled sub-assemblies, we can deliver parts ready for direct integration into your robotic systems.
