Our team established a specialized technical team to solve client problems which performed a one-month DFM (Design for Manufacturing) assessment together with process improvement activities. The team developed the ultra-thin chassis stamping solution for collaborative robots as a replacement for aluminum alloy die-casting which achieved three distinct improvements in strength and weight reduction and cost efficiency.
In terms of materials, we replaced the original aluminum alloy with 3.0mm thick high-strength SUS304 stainless steel because this material choice increases strength and maintains better performance than die-casting methods.
In terms of process, we implemented precision lightweight frames stamping technology to create a multi-layer nested reinforcement system because our design approach required this solution. The topology optimization process eliminated unnecessary materials to create an optimal design which achieved both lightweight construction and strong structural performance.
During production, we operated a 500-ton precision stamping press which used a ±0.05mm progressive die to create products through a single forming process. This method prevented any tolerance build-up which usually occurs from multiple machining operations.
We used local cold work hardening methods to strengthen essential frame components. Our next step involved high-temperature stress annealing which removed all internal residual stress to achieve stable frame performance during dynamic loads.

Why Is LS Manufacturing's Inspection Process The Last Line Of Defense For Robot Metal Stamping Service Quality?
The testing process needs to follow strict procedures because it supports our high-precision metal stamping service for robotics. Our testing system tests each product until it achieves an ±0.05mm accuracy standard which protects customer product quality.
Hardcore Testing Equipment and Full-Dimension Scanning
Substantial capital investment has gone into a Zeiss CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) where every precision metal stamping service part is scanned in full size to a MS Office measuring tolerance of in each full size dimension. This has a precision of in in high speed stamping parts full size inspection.
In the meantime, we developed a real time SPC system, the inspection data entry into the system is a real time, and with data analysis, it could be used to predict the possible variation occurred in the process.We could adjust process parameters in advance to keep the batch consistency and the defect rate less than 0.01 % (6 quality).
Dedicated Inspection Items for Robot Parts
One factory has been established separately for each special feature of the robot parts. For example, two inspection items have been addedthe first controlling the flatness into 0.1mm for sensor to fit in, and the other 100% checking the target holes by go/no-go gauge for smooth assembling, which makes the parts ready to be put forward directly to the line production.
Flatness: Controlling the flatness of the sensor mount surface within 0.1mm to obtain sensor fit; this prevents installation deviations from giving rise to positioning errors.
Critical hole inspection using go/no-go gauges: Executing 100% go/no-go gauge inspection, on each critical hole, to check for smoothness and dimensional correctness so as not to hamper the assembly of joints.
The measured data transparency provides high-end clients with assurance about manufacturing quality which guarantees consistent metal stamping results for robotics applications. Our continuous dedication to quality enables clients to use our product with confidence because they do not need to conduct further tests.

How Does LS Manufacturing Provide Fast Response Customized Precision Stamping Quotations And Samples In The Face Of Urgent R&D Cycles?
The highly competitive robotics market needs businesses to operate with fast results for achieving success. Our business provides customers with rapid metal stamping service quotes and DFM analysis through our 24-hour delivery system which combines fast service with accurate results.
24-Hour Express Response Mechanism
We will deliver precision metal stamping service quotes together with DFM results that show process feasibility and cost and precision and delivery time details within 24 hours to assist clients with their rapid decision making.
Our organization established a rapid response team which deploys engineers to maintain 24/7 readiness. Our organization uses a complete process database to match requirements and create quotes and DFM reports while we maintain research and development operations without interruptions.
Modular Mold Library Enables Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping depends on the modular mold library as its fundamental component. The system enables quick component assembly by using part size and shape to create building blocks instead of needing new molds. Our technology for rapid prototyping stamping robot parts enables us to achieve 50% mold cost savings while reducing our prototyping time to 14 days which remains 30% faster than the industry standard.
Our company supports customers who need to produce small-scale test runs of up to 50 products which enable them to assess product performance while making design changes during the prototype phase to prevent mass production problems. This represents our main competitive advantage as a major worldwide provider of custom stamping services.
常见问题解答
Q1: What is the maximum precision your robotics metal stamping can provide?
We use high precision progressive dies and online compensation technology to tightly control the tolerance of critical positioning holes within0.05mm or below at. Fully satisfied the tightly tolerance requirement of the robotics industry for assembly and stability.
Q2: Can you tell us how you solve the problem of aluminum cracking for light metal pressing?
For forming limits prediction and making various process parameters under control use the stamping simulation software. Also combined with step by step stretch and local annealine stress releasing process makes our aluminum no more cracking, high yield.
Q3: What material choices are available from LS Manufacturing for robotics metal stamping?
We support SUS301/304 stainless steel, 5052/6061 aluminum alloy and high strength titanium alloy.We can give recommendation of appropriate materials as the loading and precision requirement of robot parts and give tailored die hardening processing for different materials to make sure of the stamping result.
Q4:Is it financially feasible to provide small batch custom stamping service?
Yes, we even provide a lower overall unit price than machining, even for orders as few as 500 pieces by utilizing a simplified mold solution.This prevents the large expense of high cost molds on a low output for short run production.
Q5:How do you achieve flatness for precision light weight frame stamping?
