Custom Parts for Robotics & Industrial Automation
Robotics and automation work is mostly bespoke parts in small quantities. The bracketry, frames, and end-effectors that make a one-off cell function. We do a lot of it because the work suits a shop with one machinist per program: complex parts, small runs, frequent design tweaks between revisions.

Why robotics & automation companies work with Carpatians
Built for short runs and design iteration
Most robotics jobs run 1 to 50 pieces and change at every revision. Our quoting and fixturing approach is set up for that pace, not for high-volume programs.
Tight aluminum tolerances
Mounting plates and gripper geometry depend on hole patterns and parallelism. We hold what your drawings ask for and tell you when something on the print needs to be tighter than the function demands.
DFM feedback grounded in machinability
Send a prototype and we'll mark up callouts that cost real money without helping the part. Engineering teams who iterate fast tell us this is the most valuable thing we do.
Local pickup
Integrators in metro Detroit and Toledo stop by daily. Walk-ins welcome during business hours; we'll come out to the lobby with parts.
