Custom Joints are designed and engineered to fulfill unique performance requirements that standard joints fail to address. When we make an application-specific joint, we engineer based on customer-driven specifications for load capacity, movement speed, accuracy, environmental application, material selection of titanium or special alloy for durability and compatibility, sensors (i.e. torque, position feedback) for added control input, automated production with embedded sensors, etc. Norck Robotics specializes in solving custom-joint issues with proven streamlined mechanical design, precise integration for repeatability, and rugged implementation for specialized applications in industrial, research, or defense environments.

Norck Robotics specializes in providing unique robotic automation and engineering solutions designed to meet the specific operational needs of each client. Our expertise covers a wide range of industries and applications.
Norck Robotics delivers turnkey robotic automation and engineering solutions tailored to your specific needs across various industries.
Whether you need a single robotic cell prototype or full-scale factory automation, Norck Robotics engineers are ready to collaborate with you to bring your concept to life.
Norck Robotics engineers analyze your existing processes to provide feedback that enhances efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and productivity for robotic integration.
If standard joints are not able to meet the requirements of the project for technological, environmental, or performance reasons, a custom joint will be needed. These projects are often extreme by nature and will require critical features that are custom in nature. Typical circumstances include:
The joints must withstand very high or changing loads that standard joints cannot accommodate.
The application may require extreme high heat, cryogenic temperatures, corrosive chemicals, or vacuum, where materials and sealing solutions need to be selected and engineered to endure those conditions.
For those applications that present an unusual range of motions, axes, or orientation that is not supported by joints of the off-the-shelf kind.
If, in a very compact robotic system, the space is tight from within the envelope, then a custom-shaped joint or an integrated joint is to be provided.
Where torque sensors or encoders, along with load cells, may need to be integrated into the joint to provide advanced feedback controls.
Speedy, or ultra-accurate motion control requirements (e.g. optics, surgical robotics) may require a tighter tolerance specification of the joints.
In aerospace, medical, or defense applications, the joints may be required to undergo stringent regulatory or certification requirements on performance.
Applications requiring some special traits such as non-magnetic, biocompatible, or ultra-lightweight materials like titanium, carbon composites, or PEEK.
In all these cases, the need for custom robotic joints will be met at the pinnacle of performance, safety, and integration-and Norck Robotics is one company that specializes in this area.
