CNC Machined Gripper Components for Robotics Teams
Gripper teams in Wichita need components with precise grip geometry, repeatable pivot bores, and the right compliance. We machine aluminum, steel, and Delrin gripper fingers, jaw plates, and coupling blocks to ±0.0005" on critical grip features. CMM inspection on every order.
Gripper Materials
Aluminum, 4140 steel, Delrin, and PEEK for gripping applications.
Grip Precision
±0.0005" on grip surfaces and pivot bores for repeatable grasping.
Robotics QC Docs
CMM inspection reports on every gripper component order.
Air Capital Automates Aircraft Assembly with Advanced Robotics
Wichita's aerospace manufacturing base drives heavy robotic adoption — Spirit AeroSystems uses robotic drilling and fastening for fuselage assemblies, Textron Aviation automates Cessna and Beechcraft production, and Airbus' Wichita engineering center develops automated assembly processes. NIAR (National Institute for Aviation Research) at Wichita State advances robotic inspection and composite layup, while the region's machine shops increasingly adopt cobot-loaded CNC cells to keep pace with aircraft production rates.
RivCut gives Wichita robotics and automation teams CNC-machined components for robotic drilling fixtures, automated fastening tools, and aircraft assembly jigs — with the AS9100D-aligned quality your aerostructure programs demand.

Quick-change5 Housings. 5 Days. Precise Bore Fits.
A South-Central Kansas robotics startup needed actuator housings with precise bearing bores, cable routing channels, and sensor mount features. Teams near companies like Spirit AeroSystems trust this kind of precision and documentation rigor.
Every part shipped with full documentation:
- CMM dimensional report — bearing bores and mount features verified
- Material cert with heat lot traceability
- Surface finish verification per drawing callout
- Assembly notes and fit verification
What Wichita Robotics & Automation Buyers Should Know
Robotic drilling templates for aircraft fuselages need Invar or composite tooling
ask your shop about low-CTE material machining.
Request AS9100D-aligned machining and full first-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102
Spirit AeroSystems requires it for all tooling.
Ask about bushing and drill-guide machining with H7 bore tolerances
automated drilling systems depend on precise guide holes.
