Why do you need custom cnc machining for robot parts

Robots serve many industries in the world today. For example, you can find them in the medical, aerospace, research and military industries. In these industries, each robot has a unique set of functions. They also vary in shape, size and function. This explains why custom machining of robotic parts is important. In today's society, we start making robots from CAD drawings. This helps designers show us how they will work. But with cnc machining of robotic parts, we can turn drawings into reality. CAD drawings use CNC equipment to create plastic or metal robotic parts.

The benefits of custom machining of robot parts

At Concorde, in order to start the process, we need CAD drawings of the robot parts. The format should be compatible with the CNC machine. Our custom machining engineers can write programming code for CNC machines. The machine then removes material from the workpiece along the programmed path. This produces a part similar to a CAD drawing. If you need to make any changes to your design, we can easily enter the changes.

Precision machining robot parts

Custom machining accurately produces robotic parts. This ensures that the robot performs well on the target function. Our accuracy can reach 0.01mm. For linear tolerances, CNC machines can hold tolerances of +/- 0.01mm to +/- 0.02mm. We can even cnc machine more accurately when we make multiple parts at once.

A lot of uses

We can machine metal, plastic, and several other materials using CNC. This advantage allows robotic parts to have a variety of appearances and meet performance requirements. We often use steel and aluminum for the base and arms of our robots. They ensure proper functionality and stability. Plastic, on the other hand, is used to make the cover or casing of the robot. This adds to the aesthetics and reduces the weight of the robot. In some cases we have tried custom cnc machining to make multiple robot parts with different materials.

Save time

Customization saves time in getting the right parts in the market. It can be difficult to find robot parts with specific design needs. While suitable parts are available in large quantities and at relatively low prices, they take time to find. Time spent hunting for these used parts can translate into losses when robots sit on the shelves of parts service stores. It can even affect your company's production schedule. At Concord, we make your desired robot parts according to your part specifications.

Robot designers will spend less when choosing custom cnc machining. However, it is higher compared to 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes. 3D printing has limitations in terms of the accuracy and range of materials used. Especially metal parts. Cost also depends on part weight. Since metal is often used for robot parts, they become quite heavy. It translates into higher 3D printing costs. As a result, you get better quality and more affordable custom machining of your robot parts.

Service Types of Robot Parts Custom Machining

Robot designers usually explain their conditions to the cnc machining shop before asking for a quotation. Specification ranges include dimensions, finishing, fit and materials. Our dedicated team of engineers is always ready to provide solutions and advice for your projects. It even includes possible machining changes when required. Below are some of our services.

Depending on the part structure of the robot part, the machining process may vary. This includes grinding, milling, turning or 3-axis cnc machining and 5-axis cnc machining. After reviewing your design, we can determine the correct machining process for it. Thus, we avoid the possibility of a machining process with a lower quotation that takes a long time. Some parts may be manufactured using more than one machining process.

Common customization

Includes brackets, gears, arms, chassis and bushings. These components have different focusing characteristics. For example, robotic gears transmit force and motion to another component. It is connected with the teeth of another gear by cutting teeth. Therefore, to ensure high tooth tolerances, it requires a milling machine.Knowing which processes work best can reduce costs.
