Aluminum alloys such as 6061/6063/7075/2A12/LY12, etc., are often used in structural components of small and medium-sized robots because of their good strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel/steel such as 303/304/310/310 l / 316/316 l / 45 steel / 40 cr/Q235, etc., has high strength and durability, suitable for need under high stress area. Copper materials, including brass, copper, etc., have good electrical and thermal conductivity, and are widely used in some specific electronic components. In addition, there are magnesium alloy, titanium alloy and other metal materials, as well as non-metallic materials such as ABS/PC/POM steel/PVC/PPS/PEEK/ bakelia/Teflon PTFE/acrylic (Plexiglass)/ nylon + glass fiber. These non-metallic materials have their own unique properties, such as POM with low friction coefficient, suitable for gears and bushings; ABS is robust and low density, making it suitable for components on small robots. Different materials can be selected according to the specific needs of the robot, providing more possibilities for the customization of robot accessories.

For the processing of robot accessories, precision requirements are crucial. The accuracy requirements of metal parts are usually ±0.01mm, and plastic parts are ±0.05mm. In order to achieve such high-precision machining, advanced equipment and processes are needed. On the one hand, high precision CNC machine tools are key. These machines are able to precisely control the trajectory of the tool and ensure the accuracy of the machining dimensions. On the other hand, the use of advanced programming technology and processing technology is also indispensable. For example, the machining accuracy can be improved by optimizing the tool path and controlling the machining parameters. At the same time, during the processing, real-time monitoring and adjustment will be carried out to ensure that the accuracy requirements are met. For some complex parts, it may be necessary to use multi-axis machining technology to achieve higher accuracy and more complex shape processing.

The comprehensive post-treatment process can greatly improve the quality and appearance of robot accessories. There are many kinds of surface treatment, including sandblasting, shot blasting, polishing, rolling, polishing, brushing, spraying, painting, oil, hard anodizing, micro-arc oxidation, grinding, oil spraying, blackening, electroplating, vacuum plating, electroless plating, phosphating, passivation, screen printing, biting and other most of the surface post-treatment processes. In terms of chemical surface treatment, there are blue and black, phosphating, pickling, electroless plating of various metals and alloys, TD treatment, QPQ treatment, chemical oxidation, etc. These post-treatment processes can improve the surface properties of accessories, such as increasing wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface hardness. At the same time, accessories can also be given different appearance effects to meet the needs of different customers.
