CNC Machining for Automation Equipment Builders

Automation machines win on repeatability — and so do their parts. We machine the fixtures, motion components and housings that automation builders depend on, with tolerances that survive integration and lead times that keep project schedules intact.

Why ProtoTech

Why equipment manufacturers choose us

Repeatability, machined in

Fixture and motion components with verified tolerances — so your machine builds repeatable, batch after batch.

Schedule-friendly prototyping

Prototype parts in 5–10 working days keep your build and commissioning timeline moving.

From machine builder to machine fleet

Same documented processes from the first one-off machine to recurring fleet production.

How we work

From Drawing to Delivered Part

A transparent, engineering-led process built for long-term supply programs — not one-off transactions.

1

Submit & Review

Send drawings and program context. Our engineers run a DFM review and flag tolerances, materials and risk before any cutting begins.

2

Quote & Material Plan

You receive a transparent quote plus a material-verification plan — grade, EN/DIN check and certificate strategy for your application.

3

Machine & Inspect

In-house precision machining, then Zeiss CMM dimensional inspection and spectrometer material verification on critical batches.

4

Deliver & Support

Kitted, ESD-safe or ISO Class 7 cleanroom packaging, with local engineering and after-sales support through our German partner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Workholding and jigs, gantry and motion-system components, sensor and camera mounts, housings, drive and timing parts — to print, with inspection reports.
Prototype lead time is typically 5–10 working days depending on material and inspection scope — fast enough to support build and commissioning schedules.
Yes — critical dimensions are CMM-verified per batch, and recurring programs run through the same documented processes so part 500 matches part 1.

What happens after you send your files

  • Within 1 business day an engineer — not a salesperson — reviews your drawings and replies.
  • DFM review: tolerances, material and risk flags, before any cutting begins.
  • Your quote includes a material-verification plan: grade, EN/DIN check, certificate strategy.

Critical features are verified in house · material chemistry confirmed by spectrometer · EN 10204 3.1 certificates available.

Recurring programs and orders of 1,000+ pcs are prioritised by our engineering team.
The number of parts per order — it lets us price tooling and batch setup correctly instead of guessing at a range.
Several different parts? Email your list and drawings to ellie@prototech-machining.com and we will quote them together.
