AMR and service robot metal parts

A mobile robot request may cover a single cover, a battery tray or several parts in a chassis assembly. Describe the scope with part numbers and revisions. An assembly view helps show where each piece sits, but each manufactured part still needs enough detail to build and inspect it.

Separate custom metal from bought wheels, batteries, motors, sensors and controls. State which items are supplied by your team and which you want included in the quote review. A photograph of a full robot does not set a bill of materials. We need a defined manufacturing package for the parts being requested.

For chassis brackets and frames, name the reference surfaces used to check the part. Show where each mating part fits. Include wheel or caster mounts, drive unit joints and access for tools. Add service openings where they are in scope. State if each measurement applies before or after welding and finishing.

Your design should define loads and movement limits for the chassis. Send the resulting material, weld and tolerance needs with the drawing. A planned change in a bracket or joint needs engineering review when it affects those needs. The fabrication process must follow the approved design rather than create a new load rating from a general product description.

• Include top, side and section views that show the finished arrangement.
• Name mating parts and the revisions used to define their interfaces.
• Mark features that must be checked after final assembly.
• List mounting hardware, inserts and supplied items in the bill of materials.

A battery tray needs the approved battery or pack envelope and its mounting needs. Show the retention features, connector space, cable path and service access. If the design includes insulation, drainage or a separate cover, name those parts and their specs. State how the pack is inserted and removed.

The tray drawing does not prove that a battery will suit the robot. Check voltage, chemistry, capacity, terminals, charging and control interfaces. Small sealed lead acid products in a parts catalog are not assumed to fit this role. Do not treat them as approved main packs for an AMR, cleaning robot or other mobile robot.

A cover can sit close to a sensor, antenna, connector or moving part. Mark the spaces your design requires to remain clear. Name any opening or panel edge that must stay out of a sensor view. If material or finish near a device is controlled by your design, include that need in the drawing.

Show how a technician opens or removes the cover. Define the fastening method, parts that hold it in place and tool access. If several covers look alike, use clear part marks or orientation features as specified by your design. Do not rely on an assembler recognizing a small difference from a general rendering.

Tell us how the part will be exposed during the use you have approved. Send the material and finish needs for that environment. If cleaning agents, moisture or wear affect the design, include the applicable spec and pass or fail criteria rather than a broad claim such as outdoor ready.

For covers that use seals, name the seal, mating faces and attachment details. Any needed protection rating or test must be part of the reviewed scope. A metal cover by itself does not give the robot a system rating. Your engineering team should define which checks apply to the part and which apply to the completed robot.

We provide laser cutting, forming, welding, machining and electromechanical assembly. Florida equipment includes a Mazak laser, CNC press brakes, a robotic welder and Mazak and Mori Seiki mill turn machines. Irving has an Amada 3.5 kW CO2 laser, an Accupress brake, MIG welding and airless spray paint.

The part review must confirm the material, size, forming and holding needs. Powder coat is an ask us item. Do not use the equipment list as a limit table or a promise of available machine hours. Ask us to review the actual drawings, part counts and desired release dates for your project.

Define what the first build needs to prove. A bracket may need a report of measurements. A tray may need a customer fit check with the specified battery pack. A cover may need review on the assembled robot. Assign these checks before making the sample so each team knows what it must send.

Keep drawing changes under revision control. A mounting hole may move after a trial build. If that happens, state which parts can still be used. List the parts that need rework or must be replaced. Name the approved revision on each later release. A trial order does not allow more production while a key fit or design question is open.

Use the RFQ form to send the drawing package, part counts by part number and target date. Include the receiving site and packaging needs. Show whether a kit must arrive together or can be split into approved releases. List parts supplied by your team with their expected availability.

Ask us to review minimums, lead time and dates for each batch. List any needed material records, check reports and part labels in the RFQ. The accepted quote should show what is included and who must approve it. List bought parts on their own lines so their supply terms stay clear.
