CNC Machining for Robotics Manufacturers

Every axis of a robot is only as good as its parts: light arm links, true-running joint housings, stiff end-effectors and accurate shafts. We machine robot components where weight, stiffness and tolerance all matter at once — and we support you from first prototype through recurring series.

Why ProtoTech

Why equipment manufacturers choose us

Light where it moves

Aluminum, titanium and CFRP components keep moving mass down — motors run cooler, cycles get faster, arms carry more.

Motion-critical tolerances

±0.005 mm typical where applicable on bearing seats and interfaces, Zeiss CMM verified with reports per batch.

Prototype to series

One-off development parts and recurring 1,000+ pcs/year programs run through the same documented processes.

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

Arm links and structures, joint and gearbox housings, end-effector bodies, shafts, sensor mounts and covers — machined complete to your print.
Yes — that is our core model. Prototypes in 5–10 working days, then recurring production scheduled after first-article approval, with consistent inspection documentation.
Aluminum remains the workhorse; CFRP and titanium where stiffness-to-weight matters most. We machine all three — plus the engineering plastics for covers, insulators and wear parts.

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.
