Structural, joint and drivetrain components for robot arms, mobile robots and unmanned aerial vehicles — where weight and stiffness both matter.
Robotics and UAV work is driven by weight. Every bracket that is heavier than it needs to be costs payload, and every joint that flexes under load costs accuracy — so the parts tend to be small, thin-walled and unforgiving on tolerance.
That is geometry we can hold: thin walls supported properly rather than clamped and hoped for, bores ground when a bearing has to seat true, and splines or gear teeth cut where a drivetrain needs them. Because turning, milling, gear cutting, grinding and EDM are in one building, a joint that needs a milled body and a ground bearing seat does not get re-datumed at a second supplier.
What this sector checks is part-to-part consistency on a small batch and whether the second revision actually matches the first. Fixtures built for the revision, programs kept against the part number, and first-article inspection before the run continues are how that is answered.
Typical parts
What matters here
Lightweight geometry machined without distortion — supported, not clamped hard.
Material removed to drawing rather than to whatever the blank allows.
Ten-off jobs and revision changes are normal work here, not an exception.
Parts delivered deburred and clean, with anodising managed for visible parts.
Capabilities applied
Turning, mill-turn and small-to-medium batch production of round parts.
3-, 4- and 5-axis milling of complex parts, pockets, contours and fixtures.
Spur, helical and internal gears cut on hobbing and shaping machines.
External cylindrical grinding for roundness, straightness and surface finish.
Internal grinding of bores, sleeves and bearing seats.
Wire EDM for sharp internal corners, hardened material and thin walls.
