Product Design Guide — Norck Robotics

Introduction

At Norck Robotics, we specialize in designing and producing custom components for robotics. Our mission is to help companies, research institutions, and innovators turn ideas into precisely engineered robotic parts that meet performance, reliability, and scalability requirements.

This guide walks you through our design approach — from concept to validated component — ensuring every robotic solution is optimized for durability, accuracy, and seamless integration.

Our Product Design Process

Stage Objective Key Activities Customer Involvement
1. Concept Definition Identify the robotic function the component must serve. • Define motion, load, speed, and precision requirements
• Evaluate integration with existing robotic systems
• Explore possible design approaches
Customer provides target use cases and application goals.
2. Specification & Feasibility Translate ideas into engineering requirements. • Determine mechanical, electrical, and control needs
• Define torque, power, weight, and material requirements
• Assess manufacturability and cost constraints
Joint workshops to validate requirements and priorities.
3. Design & Modeling Create detailed CAD models of robotic components. • 3D modeling of joints, actuators, grippers, end-effectors, and sub-assemblies
• Kinematic and dynamic simulations
• Collision and motion path analysis
Customer reviews prototypes and provides iterative feedback.
4. Prototyping & Testing Validate the design under real-world conditions. • Produce functional prototypes of robotic components
• Conduct load, motion, and endurance tests
• Validate interoperability with robotic systems
Customers evaluate performance against intended tasks.
5. Validation & Optimization Ensure production readiness and long-term reliability. • Fine-tune designs for repeatability, safety, and cost efficiency
• Apply feedback from real-world tests
• Prepare documentation for integration and scaling
Final approval before moving into production.
