Background
Elevate Robotics, a fast-growing manufacturer of industrial automation equipment, was experiencing challenges with the durability and precision of their robotic arm components. Their existing steel parts were too heavy, affecting speed and energy efficiency, while plastic alternatives lacked the necessary strength for high-load applications. To stay competitive, they needed a solution that balanced strength, weight reduction, and precision—which led them to Mondo Machinery.
The Challenge
Elevate Robotics required a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminium actuator housing that could handle high mechanical stress without compromising precision. Their robotic arms needed to operate with extreme accuracy, and even minor deviations in part dimensions could lead to performance inconsistencies. Additionally, they sought a supplier that could provide high-volume production without sacrificing quality.
The Solution
Mondo Machinery developed a custom AeroFlex Aluminium Actuator Housing, precision-milled to exact tolerances using 5-axis CNC machining. The aerospace-grade aluminium construction reduced weight by 35%, improving robotic speed and efficiency while maintaining structural integrity. A specialized anodized finish was also applied to enhance wear resistance and longevity in high-use environments.
The Results
After integrating the AeroFlex Aluminium Actuator Housing, Elevate Robotics achieved:
- 30% Faster Robot Operation: The reduced weight allowed for quicker, more precise movement, enhancing production line efficiency.
- Increased Durability: The anodized coating provided superior resistance to wear, extending component lifespan by 50%.
- Scalability in Manufacturing: Mondo Machinery’s advanced production capabilities enabled consistent high-volume output, ensuring seamless supply chain integration.
Conclusion
With Mondo Machinery’s AeroFlex Aluminium Actuator Housing, Elevate Robotics successfully enhanced the performance and longevity of their robotic arms. The collaboration has positioned them as a leader in industrial automation, proving that precision-engineered aluminium parts can transform efficiency and reliability.
