Consumer Goods Industry, Robot Vacuum Components, Machining Capabilities

Delivering Custom Robot Vacuum Components CNC Machining for Consumer Goods Industry WITH CAD/CAM & CNC multi-axis machining centers, 5-axis simultaneous milling, and precision Swiss turning. Quality and expertise speaks for every component such as aluminum 6061-T6 motor housing assemblies with bearing seat precision, PC-ABS dustbin body with embedded filters, precision gears with tooth spacing accuracy of 0.008 mm, dynamically balanced side brush hubs G6.3, LIDAR optical windows, and 12 micron mounting precision. Every component is built with more than 3,000 cycles of autonomous operation, smart home connected reliable operation, and sophisticated cleaning technology.

We carry out precise CNC milling for the motor housing bodies within a dimensional accuracy of ±0.012 mm and a bearing seat tolerance of ±0.008 mm. We also perform 5-axis machining for intricate gear reduction housings, which have an accuracy of ±0.010 mm. We conduct precision turning for the motor shafts using a diameter tolerance of ±0.008 mm along with a concentricity of 0.005 mm. For the gear shafts, we do Swiss-type turning under a diameter tolerance of ±0.005 mm along with a surface finish of Ra 0.4μm. We do gear hobbing for the reduction gears and we maintain a tooth pitch accuracy of ±0.008 mm, a profile tolerance of IT6, and we also complete precision boring on the wheel bearing seats and maintain a tolerance of ±0.010 mm. We achieve dynamic balancing within G2.5 grade for the main brush assemblies and G6.3 for the side brushes.

We manufacture robotic vacuum parts from several different materials. We manufacture motor housings from aluminum 6061-T6 due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio (310 MPa tensile strength, density 2.7 g/cm³) and thermal conductivity (167 W/m·K). We also use PC-ABS blend to manufacture the structural parts, due to its impact resistance (35 kJ/m²) and dimensional stability as well. Additionally, we use the magnesium alloy AZ91D to manufacture the ultra-lightweight premium housings as it reduces the weight by 35% compared to the aluminum alloy. Low friction gearing (0.15-0.20) and outstanding wear resistance are key attributes of the engineering plastic POM (acetal) that we use to manufacture the gears. Other specialized materials we use include glass-reinforced nylon (PA66-GF30) for structural brackets that require strength from the flexural modulus of 8500 MPa, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for wheel tires with a shore A hardness of 85-95 and high resistance to abrasions, and stainless steel 304 for dust extraction components that must be corrosion resistant. We manufacture highly stressed lightweight structural components from carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites.

We maintain remarkable motor bearing alignment with concentricity of 0.005mm that minimizes vibration amplitude to under 0.2mm at 8000-12000 RPM vacuum motor speeds. We also have remarkable gear mesh alignment with backlash <0.05mm at 1:50 to 1:100 gear ratios that allows for seamless power transfer, placement of precision sensors with positional resolution of ±0.012mm that preserves LIDAR/camera alignment for navigation resolution of ±10mm, and lightweight design with complete mass of 2.5-4.5kg for optimal power consumption which allows for 90-180min battery life, and ruggedness that supports >3000 cleaning cycles, or 3 years of everyday autonomous operation.

The 90-180 minutes rehab the efficient vacuums with the runtime of ±8 of with 1,5 helicopters.

6061-T6 Aluminum is a great material for a robotic vacuum because of its amazing strength to weight ratio (310 MPa tensile strength, 2.7 g/cm³ density). Aluminum also is very thermally conductive (167 W/m·K) so it can dissipate the heat from the motor which helps keep it from going over 65 C during long cleaning sessions. Aluminum is also very easy to machine so it is very easy to get good tolerances on the parts for very tight specs. Anodizing also increases the strength and provides EMI shielding. PC-ABS blend is also very good as sensor application because of its great impact resistance and, and good thermal and humidity resistance. Time cycles are also very fast for PCs. POM is also a great component for the vacuum because of its properties. It is highly self-lubricating, has a very low friction coefficient, and has great accuracy for keeping teeth on a gear.

CNC milling produces motor housings with an accuracy of about ±0.012 millimeters and seat tolerances for bearings of about ±0.008 millimeters, thereby making sure that the motor can be secured with precision. Resources from 5-axis machining are used to make several different configurations of gear reduction housings while maintaining an accuracy of about ±0.010 millimeters, and 5-axis machining leaves space for subsequent complex internal designs. Motor shafts are made with precision turning to be rotated at 8,000-12,000 RPM and not to be wobbly with an accuracy of around ±0.008 millimeters to the diameter of the shaft and 0.005 millimeters to the concentricity. Swiss-type turning makes small gear shafts that are ±0.005 millimeters to the diameter and Ra 0.4 μm for the surface finish, thereby allowing for the somewhat smooth functioning of the small gear. Reduction gears are made of hobbed metal with considerable accuracy including ±0.008 millimeters to the specified tooth pitch, and with an IT6 profile tolerance which allows the gear to efficiently transmit power while maintaining the ability to backlash <0.05 millimeters. Precision boring creates wheel bearings with ±0.010 millimeters to the seat tolerance which allows for smooth passage of the wheel. Type II/III hard anodizing (10-75 μm) that contains unique EMI shielding and corrosion resistance, and for the surface of gears being coated with wear improving PVD from 5 to 10 times. A UV-resistant clear coating is to be used for the windows of the dustbin that are visible. Surface treatments include a 40-80 μm powder coating that has an anti-static feature thereby allowing less dust to be attracted, and is hard anodizing. Surface treatments include a 40-80 μm powder coating that has anti-static properties and therefore reduces dust attraction, PVD coating for gear surfaces improving wear resistance 5-10 times, and UV-resistant clear coating for dustbin viewing windows to be visible.

Our customers can expect tolerances of the motor bearing seat to be ±0.008mm with concentricity to be about 0.005mm. This tolerance allows the vacuum motor to operate with no vibrations of an amplitude more than 0.2mm at 8000-12000 RPM with noise levels of 60-70 dBA while during the cycle cleaning. The gear tooth pitch accuracy is about ±0.008mm with profile tolerance of IT6. This is to ensure no more than 0.05mm of backlash at gear ratios of 1:50 to 1:100 and more efficient power transmission. The LiDAR sensor mounting has a tolerance of about ±0.012mm and maintains 360 degree scanning calibration and navigation with an accuracy of ±10mm. This is to ensure no precise obstruction detection and mapping of the rooms. The wheel bearing seat tolerance of ±0.010mm gives them a smooth roll with resistance and maintains a straight line tracking of ±5mm per meter traveled. The main brush roller has a dynamic balance of G2.5 grade from 2000-4000 RPM while the side brush hub has a balance of G6.3 grade at 100-200 RPM and the cliff sensor bracket positional accuracy of ±0.015mm to prevent false detection errors from 2 meters in height cliff scenarios. The surface of moving components has a roughness of Ra 0.4-1.6μm which reduces friction. Overall, the tolerances provided allows the vacuum to have suction power of about 500-1500 Pas, cleaning space around 95-150 m² and a battery runtime of 90-180 minutes with mechanical durability of more than 3000 cleaning cycles. This is more than 3 years of daily vacuuming.

Of course. Our advancements in production include thorough and rapid prototyping featuring CMM inspection (±0.002mm accuracy), measuring bearing seat tolerances using precision bore gauges (0.001mm resolution), validating motor mounting clearances and measuring gear tooth profile using gear analysers with IT6 verification to ensure profile cuts within tolerable ranges for power transmission, dynamic balancing to G2.5 grade for main brushes and G6.3 for side brushes to mitigate operational vibration, vibration analysis using accelerometers measuring < 0.2 mm and with RPM ranged 8,000 – 12,000 of the vacuum motor, sensor mounting alignment verification using optical coordinate systems (aiming for ±0.005 mm resolution), accuracy suction power measurements of 500 – 1500 Pa were performed across various surfaces, measurement of output noise in an anechoic chamber 60-70 dBA, performing drop tests from 1 meter height for impact resistance of components, standardized tests for debris cleaning and across multiple floor corrugations, and for the navigation systems testing to check autonomous pathing with ±10mm in final position.
We back low-volume production (1,000-25,000 units yearly) for new robot vacuum specialized models and startups, and high-volume production (hundred thousands to millions) for big smart home appliances companies with full dimensional certification, bearing alignment documents, status report on gear accuracies per IT6, dynamic balance certified, cleaning efficiency validated, durability test 3000+ cleaning cycles, and compliance to ISO 9001 supporting the quality needed for FCC and CE certification in consumer robotics and smart home devices market.
