ROBOTICS METALWORKS
Questions about robotics parts and fabrication
Robotics Metalworks makes metal parts to your prints and builds assemblies to an agreed scope. We also supply specified control cabinet parts. Start with the drawing revision or the RMW and manufacturer part numbers. These answers explain what to send, how we review the work and what needs approval before an order.
Send an RFQ
A clear request makes the next step easier
Start with the work you need done and the version you intend to buy. Keep the immediate count separate from a future plan. Name the target delivery date, receiving site and any approval step that affects release. If a detail is not yet known, name it rather than leaving the review to guess.
Use the RFQ page to send files and needs. The offer should state the agreed scope and conditions. These broad answers do not replace the drawing, product specification or written terms for each order.
Buyer questions
Define the detail.
Know the next step.
Where does Robotics Metalworks make parts?
Production is in Pompano Beach, Florida and Irving, Texas. We review your drawing to define the material, process, finish and checks. Include any need for a specific site in the RFQ. The quote confirms the scope and delivery plan. Ask us about site visits or pickup before making arrangements, since these need a plan for the actual job.
What should I include for a controller enclosure quote?
Send the current drawing and version, dimensions, material, count and finish. Show cutouts, mounting points, door details and hardware needs. Name any items that your team will install. If the request has wiring or fitted components, add the bill of materials and work instructions. Add any required inspection records and your target delivery date so the full scope can be reviewed.
Can you make a machined part to our drawing?
Machined parts are part of the offer. Florida capabilities include Mazak and Mori Seiki mill-turn equipment. Send the drawing, model where available, material and required count. Mark the features that control fit and acceptance. The equipment list alone does not confirm a specific size limit, tolerance or material. Those details need review before a build quote can set the work.
Can one request include sheet metal, machining and assembly?
Yes. Explain the finished assembly and separate the work into clear parts and tasks. Add a bill of materials, revisions and any instructions that govern the assembly. Mark customer supplied items and explain who is responsible for them. The offer should name the processes it covers, purchased items and checks. Listing several processes does not by itself confirm an agreed build plan.
How do I request a replacement fuse or relay?
Send the RMW part number, such as RMW-F-101, and the full manufacturer part number. Include each suffix, the ratings and a clear label photo if you have one. The RMW number identifies our catalog item. The maker number identifies the specified product. Name the equipment and say if your team needs that exact item. Your engineer must approve any change.
Does a catalog listing prove compatibility with my robot?
No. A listing names a supply choice for review. It does not prove fit, current count or approval for a robot, controller or cell. Parts that look similar may have different ratings or interfaces. Use your equipment documents and full part reference to show the need. Your engineering approval governs any substitution.
What lead times can I plan around?
Lead times are confirmed by quote for the actual part, count and build plan. Ask us to review timing for an enclosure, guard set, pedestal, bracket kit or machined adapter set. Add your target date and any sample or first article stage in the RFQ. The review must also cover finish work, supplied parts and approval steps.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
Minimum order sizes and terms depend on the request and must be confirmed. State what you need now rather than guessing at a minimum. If you expect future releases, show them separately from the first order. A plan helps explain the program but does not reserve capacity. Ask for prices at the order sizes you need, along with any sample or first article need.
Which materials, thicknesses and tolerances are available?
Send the material grade, thickness or stock size, and the tolerances on your drawing. Ask us to review them against the proposed process. The equipment list is a starting point; the needs for your part require their own review. Name the features that matter most to fit and acceptance. If a need can change, show who may approve that change before quoting another choice.
Can you include powder coating or other finishes?
Add the exact finish specification, color reference where needed, masking needs and inspection needs. Irving lists airless spray painting. Powder coating availability is not yet checked and must be reviewed for the request. A finish name alone may leave key details open. Ask for the full finish route and any added time to be addressed in the offer before planning around it.
What welding capabilities and qualifications are listed?
Florida capabilities include a robotic welder and stainless TIG welding. Irving lists MIG welding. Send the weld details and any required procedure, inspection or qualification records with the drawing. AWS D1.1 qualification is not yet checked, so ask us if your project requires it. A listed welding process does not show that every code or customer need has been met for a specific part.
Does the ISO certificate cover robotics products?
The Pompano Beach manufacturing quality system carries ISO 9001:2015 certificate US2496, valid through April 21, 2027. Its scope is “design, manufacture, distribution and supply of elevator and escalator parts”. The certificate covers that stated manufacturing scope. It does not certify robotics products or approve a part for a given use. Include the checks and records your project needs in the RFQ. We review them for the specific order.
How are location and shipping arranged?
Production is in Pompano Beach, Florida and Irving, Texas. Send the ship to address, receiving limits and required date. We review the build site and shipping plan for your order. State whether parts must arrive as one kit or can ship in batches. Add any pickup or special freight needs to the request. The quote should confirm those terms before you plan the delivery.
What happens when the drawing changes after a quote?
Send the new revision and explain the changed features, count, finish or checks needed for approval. A previous quote applies to its stated scope, so the change needs review before release. Keep purchasing and engineering aligned on the version being ordered. If you need a sample or first article before production, name that hold point and the person who will approve the next step.
