Execution required maintaining tight geometry across multiple processes while achieving the surface finish and consistency needed for reliable robot assembly.
Welding distortion can impact flatness and alignment. The build required maintaining 0.1mm parallelism through controlled welding and machining steps.
Frames needed stable surface quality and repeatable fit, so finishing and dimensional control were treated as linked checkpoints, not separate steps.
✔ Confirmed assembly-critical parameters, especially 0.1mm parallelism
✔ Finalized MS material and process route across suppliers
✔ Defined finishing requirement – powder coating
✔ Planned fixture-based welding approach to minimize distortion
✔ Sequenced machining after welding to lock critical planes and parallels
✔ Set checkpoints for alignment verification before coating
✔ Laser cutting completed for accurate blank preparation
✔ Fixture welding used to stabilize geometry and reduce variation
✔ Post-weld machining performed to meet tolerance expectations
✔ Dimensional checks executed at key stages to protect final fit
✔ Powder-coated frames delivered for production integration
✔ Fitment intent ensured for the robot assembly interface
✔ Shared execution learnings to support repeatability in future batches
We followed a structured execution process to control geometry across cutting, welding, machining, and finishing, ensuring repeatable fitment across the production lot.
