The Problem
A Bangalore-based robotics startup was developing a new ground robot. They needed precision-machined aluminum components for the drivetrain and chassis. Their in-house setup and local vendors lacked the capability to achieve the tight tolerances required for the complex mating parts, causing critical delays in their R&D cycle.
The Challenge
The project had multiple strict constraints that made traditional sourcing difficult:
The Solution
Hanzof stepped in as a manufacturing partner to execute the build with speed and precision.
- ✓Design Optimization: We reviewed and optimized the CAD files specifically for manufacturability, reducing machine time without compromising part integrity.
- ✓Advanced Machining: Utilized precise 3-axis and 4th-axis CNC milling to create complex geometries in a single setup, minimizing tolerance stacking.
- ✓Strict QC: Implemented rigorous quality control checks for all critical fits and bearing press-fits.
- ✓Ready to Assemble: Delivered completely deburred, assembly-ready parts directly to their lab.
The Outcome
The startup received their parts in just 4 days, beating the deadline. Every single component met the strict tolerances required. Thanks to the accuracy of the machining, there was zero rework required during assembly. This seamless execution enabled a successful first field test and ultimately accelerated their entire development timeline by approximately one week.
