Robotics & automation manufacturing
Precision components for actuators, frames, end effectors, and tooling. Flatout machines, molds, and prints the parts that keep automation cells running — with tolerances robots depend on and lead times that keep integration schedules on track.
What we make
Parts we build for robotics teams
A sample of what comes through our shop for integrators, OEMs, and automation startups.
End effectors & grippers
Custom gripper fingers, jaws, and tool changers in aluminum, steel, and engineering plastics.
Actuator & motion components
Housings, shafts, pulleys, and mounting plates machined to the tolerances motion control demands.
Frames & structural parts
Machined plates, brackets, and extrusion-mating components for cells, gantries, and AGVs.
Custom fixtures & nests
Part nests, locating fixtures, and pallet tooling that hold position cycle after cycle.
Sensor & camera mounts
Precision brackets and enclosures that keep vision systems and sensors aligned.
Prototype iterations
Printed gripper concepts and fit-check parts so you can iterate before cutting metal.
The right process
How we match process to part
Not sure which way to go? Send us the CAD and we’ll recommend the best fit for your volumes, tolerances, and budget.
CNC Machining
Actuator housings, plates, and shafts with tolerances to ±0.001 in — the accuracy repeatable motion depends on.
Injection Molding
Volume production of cable guides, covers, and wear components when your design ships in every cell.
Industrial 3D Printing
Lightweight gripper fingers, custom nests, and part-consolidated designs — printed in days, no tooling.
Why Flatout
Why robotics teams choose us
Repeatability-grade precision
Automation lives or dies on positional accuracy. We hold critical features to ±0.001 in with inspection-driven QC.
Fast design iterations
Grippers and fixtures rarely work on rev one. Quick-turn machining and printing let you iterate without stalling integration.
Engineering dialogue
Send us the assembly context, not just the part. We'll flag interference, suggest materials, and simplify where it saves you money.
