FAQs: Precision Frames for Robotics Applications
Precision robotic frames are engineered structural platforms that provide mounting surfaces and positional reference for integrating various robots. These frames include robot base frames which anchor industrial robots and offer precise leveling surfaces that are bolted to the floor. Other examples include gantry frames that provide support for linear motion systems over work areas, worktable frames that offer flat reference surfaces for part fixturing, multi-station frames that index multiple work zones, modular frames that use T-slot extrusions for reconfigurable cells, granite frames which provide the most thermal stability for metrology applications, and meld frames that combine machined surfaces with fabricated structures to weld to swarm and provide support to large-scale systems.
Aluminum tooling plates, including ATP-5 and MIC-6, offer pre-stressed dimensional stability and guaranteed flatness, lightweight construction which reduces the requirements for the foundation, excellent machinability for integrated features, and thermal conductivity for equality at temperatures. Cast iron offers excellent dimensional stability with minimal thermal expansion, proven performance in precision machinery, and cast iron offers superior vibration dampening which reduces dynamic deflection by 40 percent. Steel provides ample strength for heavy-load applications that support multi-ton payloads, cost-effectiveness for ampliative structures, and weldability for large fabricated structures. Granite composites offer exceptional flatness retention over decades, near-zero thermal expansion, and non-magnetic properties.
CNC processes that are used for precision frames include Face milling which creates flat mounting surfaces achieving flatness to within 0.005 inches which are large area frames. Schematic coordinate drilling produces mounting hole patterns and hole positioning with an accuracy of ±0.003 inches with respect to the robot bolt circles. Boring machines perform the precision boring of large diameter features for rotary tables for large diameter rotary tables and bears. Tapping produces the threaded mounting holes for the attachments of the equipment. T-slot milling generates the modular mounting channels. Surface grinding not only produces flatness but achieves that flatness to below 0.001 inches specifically on the critical datum surfaces. Cross section heat treatment for stress relieving and continuous machining provides the needed flatness and precision of the frame without the unwanted warping.
The flatness of the surfaces achieves tolerances of ±0.005 inches which spans large areas of 2 meters. The mounting holes are positioned with an accuracy of ±0.003 inches for equipment alignment. The alignment of mounting surfaces achieves 0.005 inches in perpendicularity and 0.010 inches in parallelism for opposing surfaces or faces. The overall dimensions are ±0.020 inches which ensures reliable equipment mounting. The accuracy of positioning drastically improved to 0.1 millimeter which is stable for the equipment during thermal cycling in the range of 15 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Standard robot base plates and worktables require a lead time of 10–15 business days and large multi-level gantry frames with integrated features take 4–6 weeks, which includes machining, stress relief, and precision grinding of the frames. For rapid cell design validation and robot mounting verification, prototype frames are completed in 7–10 days.
Indeed, we tailor lightweight frames for mobile robots, reducing platform mass, designing modular frames with standardized interfaces for quick reconfiguration in flexible manufacturing, developing vibration-isolated frames for precision assembly operations, working thermally stable frames for measurements that require maintaining flatness within 10 microns across a 20°C range, and integrated frames with mounted surfaces that combine cable management, pneumatics distribution, and safety barriers.
Frames with flat mounting surfaces within ±0.005 inches guarantee that equipment contact is uniformly distributed, preventing rocking and twisting which compromises calibration and repeatability of the robot. Accurate hole patterns within ±0.003 inches guarantee proper robot mounting and maintained designed tool center point (TCP) position within 0.1 mm. All perpendicular surfaces guarantee that mounts square, preventing kinematic errors. All strategic ribbing and reinforcement promote ridding preventing deflection under payload and dynamic forces. Stress relieved while maintaining surfaces promoted stability dimensional through thermal cycling and vibration, properly prepared surfaces for automation. Repeatability, positioning within ±0.05 mm was achieved through precise automation, stable calibration of the robot was maintained over extended periods.
