CUSTOM & OEM
Application-Specific Robot Configuration
Convert the workpiece, process, cycle and site constraints into a robot shortlist and complete application configuration.
Why this project needs a complete scope
Choosing from payload charts alone ignores usable access, moments, dwell time, part presentation, recovery and machine interfaces.
Business and production outcomes
- Eliminate unsuitable platforms before quotation
- Connect the robot choice to tooling and site constraints
- Create comparable technical and commercial scope
What the review can deliver
- Application requirement brief
- Robot and peripheral shortlist
- Concept BOM, interfaces and validation actions
What changes cost and lead time
- Application uncertainty and simulation need
- Custom tooling and peripheral scope
- Testing, FAT, installation and support
Information that starts the review
- Representative workpiece and total moving mass
- Process sequence and target cycle
- Layout, utilities, safety and destination
What can be configured
Configuration depth depends on technical feasibility, supply route, certification, commercial volume and the approved delivery scope.

Common questions
01Can you customize a complete robot system, not only the arm?+
Yes. A project may configure the body, controller, EOAT, process package, fixtures, positioner, vision, sensors, safety, software interfaces and peripherals. Feasibility is confirmed during review.
02Do you manufacture every part and integrate every system in-house?+
No. TubeFrame Automation leads requirements, selection, configuration and project coordination, while qualified manufacturing and integration partners may perform defined work packages.
03What do you need for a robot recommendation?+
Provide the workpiece drawing or photos, material, dimensions, mass, process, cycle/output, accuracy, environment, layout, utilities, safety, destination, preferred brand and budget range.
04What files can I upload?+
PDF, JPG, PNG, STEP, STP, IGES, IGS, DXF, DWG and ZIP files are accepted within the configured size limit for project evaluation.
05How quickly will you respond?+
Initial project inquiries are normally answered within 12 business hours. Technical resolution and service response times are defined in the project or order documents.
