Additional Manufacturing Services | End-to-End Support

Beyond precision manufacturing, Norck Robotics extends its expertise into a full suite of value-added services that transform individual parts into dependable, ready-to-deploy systems. Our industrial additive manufacturing integrates mechanical and electromechanical components with micron-level accuracy; Testing & Validation subjects every build to real-world stresses to certify safety, reliability, and performance; and comprehensive Technical Documentation captures every specification, material record, and test result for seamless certification, maintenance, and future upgrades. Together, these services eliminate integration bottlenecks, shorten your production timeline, and ensure your solution works flawlessly from day one.

What does Norck Robotics' Assembly Service encompass?

Norck's Assembly Service consists of the proper assembly of manufactured components into complete functional assemblies, subsystems, or modules. The assembly service ensures that the parts are positioned, aligned, and integrated to specification, resulting in a high-quality, fully assembled, ready-to-use assembly that meets both performance and reliability requirements. 

  • Simple and complex mechanical or electromechanical systems are all manufactured at Norck.
  • For consistently repeatable performance, you can trust Norck to follow its tolerances and alignment protocols.
  • Norck assembly service can help integrate parts made specifically for you or another specialty integrator as a complete robotic solution. 
  • We can help lessen your existing workload by sending you a system that has already been pre-assembled.
  • All piled-up pre-assembled parts on your assembly bench will eventually become one fully assembled assembly for you, while taking your fully assembled assembly will allow us to ensure every part works together reliably before we deliver it to you.

Commitment to Quality Standards

Norck Robotics, as a division of Norck, proudly operates under ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Key aspects include:

  • International Standards: Ensuring all processes align with globally recognized quality benchmarks.
  • Customer Centric Approach: Prioritizing customer satisfaction through consistent and reliable service.
  • Continuous Improvement: Emphasizing the optimization of operations and workflows.
  • Operational Excellence: Maintaining efficiency and reliability in all activities.

This certification reflects Norck Robotics’ ongoing commitment to quality and performance.

Why is precision important during the assembly stage?

Precision is crucial during the assembly stage to assure that parts fit together precisely, function correctly, and conform to the requirements of the design. Any misalignment or imprecision at this stage of the assembly can not only create problems in functionality, but has the potential to degrade performance - or perhaps even result in a system failure. High precision in assembly establishes commonality, safety, and functionality in performance, which is critical in robotics and high-performance assemblies.

  • Guarantees mechanical and electrical parts align correctly
  • Prevents misalignment that can result in vibration, wear or failure
  • Provides repeatability in performance among identical assemblies
  • Minimizes or eliminates need for rework or adjustment after delivery
  • Preserves overall reliability and longevity of final system

What kind of subsystems or modules can be assembled?

Norck Robotics' assembly services accommodate numerous subsystems and modules, focusing mainly on those used in robotics and automation. These subsystems and modules could be mechanical, electromechanical, or a combination of both requiring high precision and careful integration. The goal is to produce a ready-to-run assembly that provides the exact design and functional requirements.

  • Robotic arms and tool head modules
  • Motion systems that include actuators and linear guides
  • Sensor housings and integration platforms
  • Control boxes or enclosures that contain wiring and additional hardware
  • Mechanical sub assemblies such as brackets, frames, and joints

What is the purpose of Testing and Validation?

Testing and validation help verify that manufactured components and assemblies operate dependably and safely, when put into practice. Testing allows us to recognize issues sooner, verify that performance is correct, and to confirm that everything is consistent with standard requirements and specifications.

Testing verifies that components and assemblies conform exactly to what was intended from the CAD models and technical drawings.

During inspection and testing, it is possible to detect hidden defects, such as cracks, weak spots, or unexpected manufacturing flaws before they result in failure.

The components are subjected to real-world stresses and cycles to determine that the components will work properly and reliably throughout their designed lifespan without allowing excessive wear or breakdown.

Validation further supports safety by confirming that all parts of the assembly operate within the expected limits as well as standards relevant to fields such as aerospace, medical, or any other high reliability field.

For product certifications and other certifications, testing will also yield the data records and other documentation necessary to pass the required inspections and audits.

How does this ensure reliability for the end-user?

Testing and validation serves an important function in ensuring reliability for the end-user by thoroughly validating that products perform as designed in the real world. This ensures that potential problems are allowed with sufficient time to fix them before reaching the customer, and reduces the likelihood that failures or breakdowns will occur during use.

  • Assured parts meet design and quality requirements.
  • Identify and correct defects early.
  • Assures products perform as expected under real-world conditions.
  • Assures repeatable performance over time.
  • Much greater user confidence and less downtime.

What types of technical documents can be provided?

Technical documentation represents the key documents and records necessary to precisely define manufactured parts and assemblies. These documents provide clarity in communication, use and standards compliance.

  • Design specifications outlining size, material, and tolerances.
  • Material certifications documenting the quality and origin of the raw materials.
  • Test reports documenting quality checks and performance tests. 
  • Assembly instructions documenting how to correctly install and integrate the parts.
  • Other documents may include maintenance manuals, or compliance certificates.
