Applications

Robotic Arm Shells

Protective and decorative FRP covers for industrial 6-axis robotic arms used in automotive, electronics, and general manufacturing assembly lines.

Collaborative Robot Covers

Cobot skins and arm covers for human-robot collaboration environments. Lightweight, safe, and aesthetically designed for shared workspaces.

AGV Body Panels

FRP body panels and shells for autonomous guided vehicles used in warehouses, logistics, and smart factory environments.

Research Robot Enclosures

Custom FRP shells for research robots, agricultural robots, inspection drones, and specialty robotics prototypes in R&D labs.

Industrial Robot Skins

Decorative and protective FRP skins for industrial robotexposed surfaces in cleanroom, food-grade, and pharmaceutical environments.

Logistics Robot Covers

FRP covers for warehouse robots, sortation robots, and delivery robots operating in demanding logistics environments.

Material Advantages of FRP Robot Enclosures

Ultra-Lightweight

30-60% lighter than steel enclosures, reducing inertia and improving robot cycle times, energy efficiency, and precision in high-speed applications.

Corrosion & Chemical Resistance

Immune to rust and most industrial chemicals. Ideal for harsh manufacturing environments, chemical plants, and marine robotics applications.

Fire-Retardant Options

UL94 V-0 fire-retardant FRP available for robot enclosures in environments where fire safety compliance is mandatory.

Complex Geometry

Mold any shape — curved arm covers, complex body panels, and integrated cable routing channels impossible with metal fabrication.

EMI/RFI Shielding

Conductive composite options available for EMI shielding in sensitive robotic and automation applications requiring electromagnetic compatibility.

Aesthetic Design

Class-A surface finish with any color. Design robot enclosures that enhance brand perception in customer-facing and collaborative environments.

Manufacturing Process

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make custom robot enclosures from our drawings?

Yes. Send us your technical drawings, CAD files (STEP, IGES, STL), or even a rough sketch. Our engineering team will review the design, optimize it for FRP manufacturing, and provide a detailed quotation within 48 hours.

What material options are available for robot enclosures?

We offer several composite materials: Standard FRP (fiberglass reinforced polymer), Fire-retardant FRP (UL94 V-0 rated), Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for lightweight applications, and Sandwich Panel construction with foam or honeycomb core for maximum stiffness-to-weight ratio.

What is the minimum order quantity?

We accept prototype orders starting from just 1 piece. For production runs, MOQ starts from 3 pieces. Our flexible MOQ policy is designed to support robot startups, research labs, and R&D projects alongside high-volume OEM orders.

Do you offer OEM/ODM services for robot manufacturers?

Yes, we provide full OEM/ODM services. We can produce robot enclosures with your brand logo, custom colors, and integrated mounting points. We work with major robot manufacturers worldwide and understand the precision requirements of robotic applications.

What is the typical lead time for robot enclosures?

Prototype samples: 7-15 days depending on complexity. Production orders: 20-30 days. For urgent requirements, we offer expedited prototyping at additional cost. All enclosures undergo dimensional QC before shipment.
