Why Lock
Housings and mounting plates are milled, then checked on the CMM before finishing, so bolt patterns stay where the drawing puts them.
Anodising, passivation and bead blasting are part of the job, so colour and gloss match across a batch instead of across suppliers.
Twenty milled housings get the same engineering attention as a 100K fastener run — there is no tooling charge to amortise.
Adapters, standoffs and gripper plates in 304/316 stainless, where a stainless fastener meets an aluminium arm.
Wall thickness, thread depth and tool access are reviewed with the quote, so a redesign happens on paper, not on the machine.
Programmes and fixtures are kept with the job, so a re-order six months later matches the first batch.
Robot arms, end effectors and the fixtures that hold them together live or die on a few hundredths of a millimetre. We mill housings, brackets and adapters from 6061-T6 and 304/316 stainless at 0.005–0.01 mm, then anodise, passivate or bead-blast them.
These builds are usually a handful of parts, not a container load, so we quote small runs without a tooling charge — the same shop that runs 100K fasteners will run twenty milled housings.
What we make
Case study
1. Customer Background and Project Overview In mid-2024, a well-known automotive component manufacturer from Italy contacted our engineering team with a critical sourcing requirement:They needed custom stainless steel fasteners for high-performance automatic transmissions used in electric vehicles (

Case study
A non-standard component defined by the customer's STEP file — bearing seat, 0.5 mm wall, 15:1 deep hole — held to ±0.005 mm with 100% CMM inspection and a first article before mass production.

Yes, on turned and milled features where the drawing calls for it. The critical dimensions are confirmed on the CMM and the report ships with the parts.
Anodising, passivation and bead blasting are part of the standard route, so finish and tolerance are handled in one order rather than two.
A handful of parts. There is no tooling charge on milled or turned work, so a prototype and a pilot run are quoted the same way.
