Application Hardware Stack

Review the subsystem interfaces before selecting a quote path.

Lab and prototype platforms often combine evaluation motors, reducers, sensors, controllers and linear motion from different vendors, then need small-batch harnesses, adapters and a traceable file package.

Core Hardware Subsystems

Evaluation motors, drives, reducers and prototype joints
Sensors, encoders, force feedback and camera interfaces
Controller I/O, host compute and communication adapters
Linear motion, fixtures and temporary mechanisms
Small-batch cable harnesses and interface adapters
Prototype structures, links and material samples
Datasheets, drawings, CAD/STEP and sample records

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.

Prototype file requests should name the evaluation part, intended experiment and whether the document is needed for fit, wiring, safety review, fixture design or publication records.

Hardware Path Matrix

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

Subsystem	Catalog Components	Custom Build	Integration Package	RFQ Inputs
Prototype actuation	Servo motors Frameless motors	Robot Servo & Joint Cable Harness Customization	Robot Drive System Integration Package	Prototype joint requirement, torque, speed, encoder and available envelope.
Evaluation sensing	Sensors and feedback	Robot Sensing Cable Harness Customization	Robot Sensing Integration Package	Sensor type, host platform, cable length, sample quantity and interface.
Files and samples	Engineering Files	Robot Lightweight Materials Customization Carbon Fiber Robot Frame & Link Customization	Robot Control & Communication Integration Package	2D / STEP needs, sample quantity, drawings and prototype validation plan.

Procurement Fit

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

Catalog

Use Products to compare evaluation motors, reducers, sensors or linear motion when basic load and interface targets are available.

Custom Build

Use Custom Builds for low-quantity harnesses, adapters, lightweight parts or carbon structures that bridge mixed prototype hardware.

Integration Package

Use an Integration Package when drive, sensing, control or electrical interfaces need a structured review before the prototype is frozen.

Engineering Files

Use Engineering Files to request drawings, STEP/STP, pinouts, datasheets and controlled records needed for CAD packaging or lab documentation.

Not the right path if

This page supports engineering prototypes and samples; it does not validate research results, production readiness, regulatory approval or immediate scale-up without design verification and customer validation.

EmbodyStack does not guarantee prototype performance; experiment design, bench validation and final acceptance remain with the lab or integrator.

After submission

Separate evaluation components from custom interface and sample work.
Identify missing drawings, pinouts, load assumptions and controlled files.
Return a staged RFQ path for samples, prototype builds and later integration review.

Application RFQ

Start with the information already available.

A complete specification is not expected at the prototype stage. Share the experiment goal, candidate parts and known interfaces; open decisions can be marked for engineering review.
