Maximum dimensional precision
CNC-machined engineering plastics allow tight tolerances for the correct operation of robotic systems.
Reduced inertia
By replacing metal components with engineering plastics, weight and inertia are reduced, improving speed and efficiency.
Wear resistance
Materials such as Delrin and nylon have a low coefficient of friction and high wear resistance.
Rapid prototyping
We support R projects with agile prototyping in engineering plastics to validate designs before production.
How we work
Analysis of Your Needs
We review the technical requirements of your project and advise you on the most suitable materials and processes.
Material and process selection
We recommend the optimal technical plastic and determine whether the solution is cutting, CNC machining, thermoforming or another process.
Custom manufacturing
We produce parts or materials in the exact dimensions you need, with quality control at every stage.
Fast delivery and support
We deliver within the agreed timeframe, even in 24h with express service, and offer post-sale technical support.
Frequently asked questions about plastics for robotics and automation
Delrin (POM), engineering nylon and HDPE polyethylene are the most common due to their precision, low friction and wear resistance.
Yes. We machine gears, pinions and transmission parts in Delrin, nylon and other engineering plastics with high precision.
Yes. We have manufactured housings, guides, mounts and precision parts for articulated arms and industrial robots across different sectors.
Yes. We manufacture functional prototypes in engineering plastics with very short lead times to speed up the development of new products.
Lower weight, no corrosion, lower inertia, self-lubrication in some materials and ease of machining, without sacrificing precision or strength.
