In the rapidly changing world of automation and robotics, the quality of a component can meanthe difference between a system that performs perfectly and one that does not. Norck Roboticsspecializes in robotic components manufacturing for the most rigorous needs in every industry.By combining engineering talent, near-limitless production capabilities, and exceptional levels ofquality assurance, we provide custom robotic components, precision robotic components, andhigh-performance robotic components that are the future of automation
The Importance of Quality Robotic Components
Robotic systems integrate many components - actuators, gears, bearings, sensors, housings,and structural frames - to strive for precise and repeatable motion, or this should be the goal. Ifsomething is inconsistent in the manufacturing of any or all of these components, your systemwill slow down, or just won't work. This is why robotic components manufacturing are held to alevel of engineering and quality that very few industries need or require.
Custom robotic components allow systems to be adapted to unique operating requirements,while precision robotic components ensure that all movement is smooth, precise, andrepeatable. In high-load or high-speed applications or safety-critical applications,high-performance robotic components become a must have.
Norck Robotics Approach to Robotic Components Manufacturing
Norck Robotics has created a manufacturing process that focuses on performance, reliability, and long-term durability for robotic components. Our manufacturing centres also have the in-house capability to bring a new product from concept and design through prototype building, production, and final inspection before final assembly.
-
Engineering-Driven Design
Working alongside and collaborating closely with customers, we build custom robotic components that meet a highly exact specification. Our engineers take a design that is often provided in basic or advanced computer aided design (CAD) format and crush it into submission using state-of-the-art CAD modelling and simulation tools. This allows us to build custom robotic components that have optimal geometry, optimal strength, and that the custom parts fit elegantly with the other constituent design system.
-
Precision Manufacturing
Our manufacturing facilities are equipped with CNC machining centres, micro machining equipment, and AM tools. This allows us to produce precision robotic components with tolerances to the micron - which is very important by assuring that the motion will be smooth and reduce wear on the mechanisms that create robotic motion.
-
Advanced Materials Selection
Depending on the performance needs set out by our engineering team and our customers, using exotic and high grade metals, engineering plastics, and composite materials we can be confident that the high performance robotic components that we build will operate at their intended loads, endure all temperature extremes, and succeed in severe environments.
-
Quality Control and Testing
Along with dimensional inspections, and material testing and functional verification every robotic component that leaves our facilities have been subjected to a method of quality processes to ensure that each component meets the standards acceptable to the requirements for robotic component manufacturing.
Types of Robotic Components We Manufacture
Norck Robotics offers an entire suite of components for a multitude of robotic applications. Inparticular:
- Structural Frames and Chassis – Ultra-lightweight and very strong frames and structures, composed of aluminium alloys, steel or composites.
- Gear Systems - Custom and precision robotic components designed to transfer torque and manage speed.
- Bearings and Motion Assemblies - Each bearing provides smooth long-lasting rotation.
- Actuator Housings - Housings for electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic actuators, machined to component tolerances.
- Sensor Mounts and Fixtures - Sensor mount and fixture designed for stability and precision.
Each of these components can be supplied as custom robotic components so they will integrateperfectly into a specialized system.
Applications Across Industries
Our manufacturing of robotic components reaches many industries, each with their own set of criteria for speed, accuracy and durability.
- Industrial Automation – Heavy-duty, high-performance components for robotic applications in continuous production.
- Aerospace Robotics – Lightweight, precision components which still meet stringent aerospace quality standards.
- Medical Robotics – Custom components that can be sterilized for use in surgical and diagnostic systems.
- Logistics and Warehousing – Hard-wearing technology components for use in autonomous material handling robots.
