Application Hardware Stack

Review the subsystem interfaces before selecting a quote path.

Robot arm procurement links axis motors and drives to reducers, encoders and brakes, then adds dress packs, force sensing, tool-flange or EOAT hardware and the safety I/O boundary around the cell.

Core Hardware Subsystems

  • Servo motors, drives and axis power
  • Reducers, gearboxes, bearings, encoders and brakes
  • Robot dress pack and moving cable routing
  • Force/torque sensing and feedback
  • Tool flange, gripper, quick changer and EOAT adapter
  • E-stop, safety relay, safety I/O, scanner and STO
  • Axis drawings, flange CAD, wiring and datasheet 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.

State the arm axis, wrist or tool flange involved and whether the requested file supports torque review, mounting, cable routing, EOAT load calculation or safety I/O mapping.

Review file workflow

Hardware Path Matrix

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

Subsystem Catalog Components Custom Build Integration Package RFQ Inputs
Arm axes
AC servo motors Reducers and gearboxes
Axis payload, speed, torque, reducer ratio, brake and encoder.
End-of-arm
Force sensing End-effector context
Payload, moment, duty cycle, tool interface and failure consequence.
Safety
Safety project context
Safety signal / harness routing review
E-stop, interlock, scanner, safety I/O and validation boundary.

Procurement Fit

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

Catalog

Use Products when the axis motor, reducer, gearbox or force sensor can be selected from known torque, speed, ratio, envelope and interface targets.

Custom Build

Use Custom Builds for servo dress packs, flange adapters, tooling interfaces or lightweight arm structures that depend on routing and geometry.

Integration Package

Use an Integration Package when drive, EOAT, force control or safety circuit interfaces must be reviewed together with the arm controller and cell boundary.

Engineering Files

Use Engineering Files for motor/reducer drawings, flange dimensions, STEP/STP, pinouts, wiring diagrams and controlled installation documents.

RFQ Preparation Checklist

  • Axis count, payload, reach, speed and cycle profile
  • Motor, drive, reducer ratio, encoder and brake requirements
  • Dress-pack routing, bend radius and connector locations
  • EOAT payload, moment, duty cycle and tool flange
  • Force/torque sensing or compliant control need
  • E-stop, interlock, scanner, safety I/O and STO boundary
  • Required 2D, STEP/STP, wiring or datasheet files

Not the right path if

This page is not a certified cobot safety assessment and does not validate force-limited operation, machine guarding, cycle performance or a complete robot cell without customer-side risk assessment and validation.

EmbodyStack does not provide certified payload validation; payload, guarding, collision and force-limited operation validation remain with the integrator.

After submission

  • Check the axis and EOAT load information against the proposed hardware path.
  • Separate catalog components from dress-pack, adapter and subsystem integration work.
  • List missing safety, flange, wiring and controlled document inputs before quotation.

Application RFQ

Start with the information already available.

Provide the axis load case, flange drawing, EOAT concept or current motor/reducer list. The initial review can identify the missing torque, interface and safety inputs.
