Frequently asked questions
What Tolerance Does XC Machining Hold for Robot Joint and Drive Components?
Standard: ±0.005 mm on 5-axis CNC machined aluminum 7075-T6 and stainless steel 316L robot joint housings, servo motor mounts, and arm link profiles. Bore diameter: H7 tolerance (±0.010–0.018 mm depending on bore size). Bore concentricity: ≤ 0.003 mm. Bore-to-mounting-face perpendicularity: ≤ 0.005 mm. Harmonic drive gear body bores: ±0.002 mm. All verified by CMM probing; dimensional report issued per first article and production batch.
What Materials Does XC Machining Use for Robot Arm and Joint Components?
Aluminum 7075-T6 (503 MPa, 2.81 g/cm³ — best strength-to-weight, primary cobot link material), aluminum 6061-T6 (310 MPa, motor mounts and brackets), stainless steel 316L (485 MPa, washdown and food-grade robot joints), steel 4340 (1,470 MPa H&T, harmonic drive and ball screw housings), titanium Grade 5 (950 MPa, 4.43 g/cm³ — premium cobot wrist assemblies), PEEK (high-temp gripper inserts), and POM (low-friction gripper jaws, μ 0.1–0.3).
Can XC Machining Produce Both Prototype and Production Robot Components?
Yes. XC Machining produces: CNC machined aluminum prototype robot arm links and joint housings (1–10 units, 3–7 days, no tooling cost) for kinematic chain fit-check and payload testing; SLS 3D printed PA12 prototype gripper fingers (2–4 days, functional test); and production CNC machined robot joint housings (50–500+ units per batch, SPC monitoring, CMM dimensional report, Certificate of Conformance with every shipment). No minimum order quantity on prototype runs.
What Is the Lead Time for Robotics CNC Parts from XC Machining?
Prototype aluminum robotics parts (1–10 units, 3-axis or 5-axis, moderate complexity): 3–7 business days. Complex 5-axis robot joint housings in aluminum 7075 or stainless steel 316L (tight tolerance, CMM inspection): 7–12 business days. SLS PA12 prototype gripper inserts: 2–4 business days. DFM review and quote returned within 12 hours of STEP file upload from Dongguan, China.
Does XC Machining Machine Components for Collaborative Robots (Cobots)?
Yes. XC Machining specializes in cobot component manufacturing where weight reduction is the primary design constraint — every gram of moving mass reduces the cobot’s effective payload rating. Cobot arm links are machined from aluminum 7075-T6 (503 MPa, 2.81 g/cm³) with topology-optimized lightweighting pockets reducing link mass by 20–35%. ISO 10218 safety guarding panels are laser cut and bent from aluminum 5052 for cobot cell perimeter guarding.
