Robotics Examples of materials utilized in the industry

  • Titanium Alloys

    Titanium alloys are utilized in the field of robotics as highly functional materials that combine light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. In particular, it is used for shafts of joints, links that are subject to high loads, and structural materials of moving parts, and its advantage is that it is less deformed and degraded even after long-term use. It is also suitable for robots used in harsh environments such as at sea or in chemical plants, and has excellent maintainability due to its resistance to rust and corrosion. Its extremely high specific strength also helps improve the accuracy of motion and energy efficiency.

  • aluminum alloy

    Aluminum alloys are widely used in the field of robotics as lightweight materials with excellent workability. It is particularly suitable for robot arms, frames, brackets, sensor mounts, etc., where its light weight improves the responsiveness of moving parts and energy-saving performance. It also has excellent corrosion resistance and demonstrates stable performance outdoors and in humid environments. Another advantage is that it can be used for a variety of processes such as cutting, drilling, and bending, allowing for a high degree of freedom in design and making it suitable for manufacturing highly customizable robot parts.

  • CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)

    CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is one of the most important materials in the field of robotics because of its high rigidity and strength while being extremely lightweight. Specifically, CFRP is used for arms, links, and structural parts of moving parts in industrial robots, and can ensure excellent rigidity while significantly reducing weight. This improves the robot's operating speed and energy-saving performance, and also reduces the load on the drive unit. It also has excellent vibration absorption and corrosion resistance, and is attracting attention as a material for realizing high-precision operation and long life.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Manufacturing of Components for the Robotics Industry

High-precision machining and tolerance control

High-precision machining and strict tolerance control are essential in the manufacture of parts for the robotics industry. Shafts and gears for joints and mounting parts for encoders require dimensional accuracy on the micron level, and the slightest error can cause misalignment of motion, vibration, and wear. Therefore, in addition to machining using machining centers and precision lathes, quality control using three-dimensional measuring machines and surface roughness measuring instruments is necessary. In addition, the coordination of tolerance setting at the design stage and control at the manufacturing site will make it possible to produce robot parts with stable motion and high repeatability.

Ensure durability and reliability

For parts for the robotics industry, it is important to ensure durability to withstand long-term operation and reliability to always demonstrate stable performance. Since moving parts and joints are subject to repetitive movements and impacts, materials that are resistant to wear and fatigue must be selected, and high-strength structural design is required. High-precision machining and thorough quality inspections are also required to minimize component variation.

Modularity and assemblability considerations

In the manufacture of components for the robotics industry, modularization and assembly considerations play a major role in improving the efficiency of product development and maintenance. Modularization refers to the construction of parts in functional units that can be exchanged and assembled as individual units. This simplifies on-site assembly work and allows maintenance and parts replacement to be performed in a shorter time. In addition, by designing components that take wiring space and fixing methods into consideration from the design stage, man-hours during assembly can be reduced and human errors can be prevented, thereby improving productivity and reliability.
