Custom 5-Axis CNC Machined Aluminum Bracket for Robotic Gripper Assembly
Quick detail
This custom aluminium robotic gripper bracket is fabricated by 5-axis CNC milling. It adopts a hollow frame structure with complex cutouts, slotted holes and precision threaded holes. The surface is bead blasted for uniform matte finish. Strict parallelism and position tolerance requirements ensure stable installation for robot end effector.
Product description
This frame-type aluminium bracket acts as the core supporting structure for robotic gripper end effector. The hollow cutout design reduces overall weight while retaining high structural rigidity, which helps lower robot load and improve dynamic response speed. The complex multi-plane 3D contour can only be completed in single clamping on 5-axis CNC equipment. Our engineering team optimized the material removal sequence during DFM review to avoid warping caused by uneven stress release. After machining, bead blasting treatment removes tool marks and improves surface uniformity. Key features are fully inspected by CMM before shipment to guarantee interchangeability in batch assembly.

FAQ
Q1: Can you do hard anodizing on this bead blasted aluminium bracket?
A1: Yes, hard anodizing is available for higher wear resistance upon request.
Q2: What is the weight reduction advantage of this hollow frame design?
A2: Hollow cutouts remove redundant material, reduce moving weight by around 30% while maintaining structural stiffness for high-speed robotic motion.
Q3: Can you produce custom robotic brackets with stainless steel material?
A3: Yes, we can machine stainless steel brackets, but machining time and cost will be higher.
Q4: Are batch parts fully interchangeable?
A4: All critical dimensions are checked by CMM, batch parts are fully interchangeable for assembly.
Q5: What is the sample lead time?
A5: 7–11 working days after drawing confirmation, depends on machining complexity.
