Short answer: Automation and robotics equipment use aluminium and steel frames for light rigid structures, cast iron or aluminium joint housings for damping and stability, alloy steel gears and ballscrews for wear and precision, and bearing steel for low-friction motion, all chosen for stiffness, fatigue life and machinability across millions of cycles.
At a Glance
What Automation Needs
Stiffness, repeatability and fatigue life lead the choice, with the basis in our Metal Strength Comparison and fatigue notes in our Metal Fatigue Guide; material limits are in our Aerospace Guide ve Automotive Guide.
Frames and Arms
Frames use aluminium extrusions and steel for light rigid structures, detailed in our Aluminium Supplier ve Machining Guide; housings are cast iron or aluminium for damping, with casting in our Casting Methods Guide.
Drives and Gears
Gears, ballscrews and bearings use alloy and bearing steel, with hardening in our Heat Treatment Guide and wear care in our Wear Plate Guide; joining is in our Welding Joining Guide.
Quality and Sourcing
Motion parts are checked by inspection, with methods in our Quality Inspection Guide ve Non-Destructive Testing Guide; buyers confirm grade via our Mill Test Certificate Guide and pack per our Export Packing Guide.
