Precision CNC Machining for Industrial Robot Teams

Industrial robots demand components that are rigid, precise, and repeatable. A joint housing with bore runout beyond spec means lost positioning accuracy across the entire arm. We machine aluminum 7075-T6, 6061-T6, and 17-4 PH stainless steel to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. Every order ships with CMM inspection reports and material certifications your engineering team can use for robot assembly and validation.

1

Robotics-Grade Materials

We machine aluminum 7075-T6 for lightweight strength, 6061-T6 for cost-effective housings, 17-4 PH stainless for high-load joints, and Delrin for wear-resistant bushings.

2

Tight Bore Tolerances

We hold ±0.0005" on bearing bores and shaft fits. Concentricity, perpendicularity, and true position verified on CMM before every shipment.

3

Rapid Iteration

Your design evolves fast. We turn around prototype revisions in 5 to 7 days and scale to production quantities when your robot is ready for market.

Parts for Industrial Robots

Joint housings, arm links, gearbox housings, and everything in between.

Joint Housings

Precision-bored joint housings for articulated and SCARA robots. Machined from aluminum 7075-T6 and 17-4 PH stainless with tight concentricity for harmonic drive and cycloidal reducer mounting.

±0.0005" bore tolerance

Arm Links

Lightweight arm link segments machined from aluminum 7075-T6 with internal ribbing for stiffness-to-weight optimization. Pocket milling, through-bores for cabling, and anodize-ready surfaces.

Al 7075-T6

Wrist Assemblies

Multi-axis wrist mechanism housings with complex internal geometry. Tight angular tolerances for roll-pitch-yaw assemblies. 5-axis machining for compound surfaces and bearing pockets.

5-axis capability

Base Plates

Heavy-duty robot base plates and mounting pedestals machined from aluminum 6061 and A36 steel. Flatness within 0.001", precision bolt patterns, and dowel pin holes for repeatable robot mounting.

Flatness 0.001"

Tool Changers

Automatic tool changer adapter plates, lock ring housings, and coupling interfaces. Tight concentricity and positional tolerances ensure reliable tool exchange every cycle across thousands of operations.

Hardcoat anodize

Gearbox Housings

Precision gearbox housings for harmonic drives, planetary reducers, and cycloidal gearboxes. Tight bore concentricity, bearing pocket tolerances, and thermal management features machined from aluminum and steel.

FANUC — Global Industrial Robot Leader

The world's largest industrial robot maker with over 1 million robots installed. FANUC's supply chain drives demand for precision joint housings and arm components.

ABB — Robotics & Automation

ABB robots are used in automotive, electronics, and logistics. Their IRB series demands high-precision gearbox housings and structural arm links.

KUKA — Industrial Automation

KUKA's articulated robots and linear units serve automotive, aerospace, and general industry. Precision-machined base plates and wrist assemblies are critical to every installation.

Yaskawa Motoman — Robot Manufacturing

Yaskawa produces high-speed industrial robots for arc welding, spot welding, and material handling. Their robots require precision-machined joint and gearbox components.

Built for Robotics Teams

Industrial robot parts need a shop that understands tight bores, lightweight design, and rapid iteration.

Tight Bore Tolerances

We hold ±0.0005" on bearing bores, shaft fits, and gear reducer pockets. CMM inspection on every order verifies concentricity, runout, and true position.

Lightweight Design Optimization

We machine complex pocket patterns and internal ribs in aluminum 7075-T6 to maximize stiffness-to-weight ratio. Less arm weight means faster cycle times for your robot.

Fast Prototype Iteration

Robot designs evolve quickly. We turn around prototype revisions in 5 to 7 days so your team can test, validate, and iterate without waiting on parts.

Hardcoat Anodize & Finishes

Type III hardcoat anodize for wear surfaces, bead blast for cosmetic consistency, and passivation for stainless steel components. We handle finishes so you don't have to manage another vendor.
