Yes, we provide rapid prototyping to verify fit and test assembly, with same-day CAD-to-part capability available for critical projects. For custom automation cells and research platforms, we perform low-volume production of 20 to 500 brackets. For standardized robot models, we perform high-volume production of thousands to tens of thousands of brackets annually, incorporating complete dimensional inspection, flatness verification, and material certifications.
We achieve overall housing dimensions within ±0.010 inches for plastic molded parts and ±0.015 inches for sheet metal assemblies, mounting boss positions within ±0.008 inches for electronics mounting, access panel clearances within ±0.005 inches for smooth operation, snap-fit feature tolerances within ±0.003 inches for reliable assembly retention force 15 to 40 Newtons, wall thickness uniformity within ±0.005 inches, and flatness within 0.020 inches on mounting surfaces.
High-volume injection molding produces plastic housing shells with cycle times 30 to 90 seconds and dimensional accuracy within ±0.010 inches. CNC press brake forming shapes aluminum or steel sheet with bend angle accuracy within ±0.5 degrees. Coordinate drilling produces mounting holes and ventilation patterns with position accuracy within ±0.005 inches for plastic and ±0.008 inches for sheet metal. End milling creates access panel openings and cable routing slots. Ultrasonic welding joins plastic housing sections. Thread inserts provide metal threads in plastic bosses. Surface preparation includes deburring, sanding, and cleaning before finishing. Automated assembly integrates multiple components.
ABS plastic provides excellent impact resistance withstanding drops from 1 meter height, good dimensional stability maintaining tolerances within ±0.015 inches, ease of molding for complex geometries with wall thickness 1.5 to 3 millimeters, flame resistance meeting UL 94 HB or V-2 rating, and cost-effectiveness for high-volume production. Polycarbonate offers superior impact strength 850 joules per meter, transparency for display windows and status indicators, flame resistance meeting UL 94 V-0 rating, and heat resistance to 125°C. Aluminum 5052 sheet delivers structural rigidity for large printer frames, heat dissipation for internal electronics, electromagnetic shielding, and premium appearance. PC/ABS blends combine polycarbonate's impact strength with ABS processability and paintability for cosmetic surfaces.
