Our Manufacturing Capabilities
Robotic systems require components that combine precise motion, complex geometry, and structural reliability. We provide several manufacturing processes to support robotics projects from functional prototyping and engineering validation to low-volume and production manufacturing.
CNC Machining
CNC machining is widely used for robot joints, actuator housings, mounting plates, frames, and end-effectors. Our CNC machining capabilities can achieve precision down to ±0.02 mm while producing complex curved surfaces, difficult-to-access features, and intricate functional structures in metals and engineering plastics.
5-Axis CNC Machining
5-axis CNC machining is suitable for robotic components with compound angles, deep cavities, curved profiles, and features positioned on multiple surfaces. Our 5-axis capabilities can achieve machining accuracy of ±0.05 mm while reducing repeated setups and maintaining consistent positional accuracy across complex geometries.
CNC Turning
CNC turning is commonly used for robot shafts, pins, bushings, rollers, spacers, and actuator components. Our turning capabilities support stepped diameters, precision threads, grooves, deep bores, and thin-wall rotational parts with tight control of concentricity, roundness, and surface finish.
Sheet Metal Processing
Sheet metal processing is used to manufacture robotic frames, protective covers, brackets, control cabinets, and equipment enclosures. Our capabilities integrate laser cutting, precision bending, welding, and surface finishing to produce large-format, lightweight, and structurally stable assemblies with accurate hole and bend positioning.
3D Printing
3D printing enables the rapid production of custom grippers, sensor mounts, cable guides, housings, and functional robot prototypes. Our additive manufacturing capabilities support internal channels, lattice structures, undercuts, and integrated geometries that are difficult to produce through conventional machining.

Surface Treatments for Robotic Components
Anodizing
A durable surface treatment for aluminum parts that improves corrosion resistance, wear performance, and appearance. It is available in natural, black, and custom colors.
Hard Anodizing
Hard anodizing creates a thicker, more wear-resistant oxide layer for aluminum components exposed to repeated motion, friction, or demanding operating conditions.
Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless nickel plating provides uniform coverage on complex geometries while improving corrosion resistance, hardness, and dimensional stability.
Passivation
Passivation removes surface contaminants from stainless steel and strengthens its natural corrosion-resistant layer without significantly changing part dimensions.
Black Oxide
Black oxide provides steel components with a dark, low-reflective finish and basic corrosion protection while maintaining critical dimensions.
Powder Coating
Powder coating creates a durable and visually consistent protective layer with good resistance to impact, scratching, and environmental exposure.
