Application Hardware Stack

Review the subsystem interfaces before selecting a quote path.

Assembly automation hardware spans servo and linear axes, fixtures, PLC/IPC control, EtherCAT or other fieldbus, inspection vision, EOAT and the safety circuit around the machine.

Core Hardware Subsystems

  • Servo motors, drives, reducers and linear motion
  • Fixture, clamp, indexer and positioning mechanisms
  • PLC, industrial PC, EtherCAT, CANopen, RS485 and I/O
  • Industrial camera, lighting and inspection sensing
  • Gripper, tool changer, EOAT and force sensing
  • E-stop, safety relay, safety I/O, interlock and STO
  • Electrical drawings, interface maps and machine files

ENGINEERING FILES / CONTROLLED ACCESS NOTES

Public previews can support early screening, but original STEP/STP files, complete drawings, internal BOMs and supplier-sensitive records require controlled access review through RFQ. Application pages prepare that context; they do not auto-release engineering files.

Identify the axis, fixture, inspection station or tool involved and state whether the file supports sizing, mounting, wiring, I/O mapping, maintenance or compliance review.

Hardware Path Matrix

Map each subsystem to catalog, custom build, integration package and RFQ inputs.

Subsystem Catalog Components Custom Build Integration Package RFQ Inputs
Motion axes
AC servo motors Linear motion
Axis load, stroke, torque, speed, encoder and brake.
Factory control
Control & Communication context
PLC, IPC, EtherCAT, CAN, I/O count, power and port mapping.
Safety and EOAT
Safety and EOAT context
Safety signal / harness routing review
Interlock, E-stop, tool payload, cycle rate and customer validation boundary.

Procurement Fit

Choose the path that matches the decision currently blocking the project.

Catalog

Use Products for defined servo, reducer, linear motion or sensing components when axis load, stroke, speed and controller requirements are known.

Custom Build

Use Custom Builds for servo harnesses, industrial vision/communication cables and EOAT adapters shaped by the cell or fixture.

Integration Package

Use an Integration Package when motion, PLC/fieldbus, vision, EOAT or safety interfaces require coordinated engineering review.

Engineering Files

Use Engineering Files for motor/actuator drawings, tool CAD, wiring diagrams, pinouts, fieldbus documents and compliance records available from the OEM.

RFQ Preparation Checklist

  • Machine function, station layout and target cycle rate
  • Axis load, stroke, torque, speed and duty cycle
  • PLC/IPC, fieldbus, I/O count and control voltage
  • Vision inspection task, camera, lens and lighting context
  • Fixture, clamp, gripper, EOAT and tool interface
  • E-stop, interlock, scanner, safety I/O and STO boundary
  • Required CAD, electrical drawing, datasheet or compliance file

Not the right path if

This page does not validate production cycle time, inspection yield, machine safety certification or complete line commissioning without customer-side controls engineering, risk assessment and site acceptance.

EmbodyStack does not include PLC ladder logic development; controls programming, commissioning and site acceptance remain customer or integrator responsibilities.

After submission

  • Review motion and tool sizing inputs against the station function.
  • Map PLC, fieldbus, vision, safety and electrical interface gaps.
  • Define the component, custom build, integration and document workstreams before quotation.

Application RFQ

Start with the information already available.

Share the station function, cycle target, axis list and controller architecture. Early review can proceed from a layout, I/O list or existing equipment schedule.
