Customer Key Challenges

Execution required maintaining tight geometry across multiple processes while achieving the surface finish and consistency needed for reliable robot assembly.

Parallelism Control After Welding

Welding distortion can impact flatness and alignment. The build required maintaining 0.1mm parallelism through controlled welding and machining steps.

Surface Finish and Assembly Consistency

Frames needed stable surface quality and repeatable fit, so finishing and dimensional control were treated as linked checkpoints, not separate steps.

Requirement Analysis

✔ Confirmed assembly-critical parameters, especially 0.1mm parallelism

✔ Finalized MS material and process route across suppliers

✔ Defined finishing requirement – powder coating

Design and Engineering

✔ 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

Manufacturing and Quality Assurance

✔ 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

Delivery and Support

✔ Powder-coated frames delivered for production integration

✔ Fitment intent ensured for the robot assembly interface

✔ Shared execution learnings to support repeatability in future batches

Execution Process

We followed a structured execution process to control geometry across cutting, welding, machining, and finishing, ensuring repeatable fitment across the production lot.
