industrial automation
U.S. automation investment continues to grow, with 38,000 industrial robots installed in 2025—up 11% year over year.
Gromax supports precision stamped and formed components for industrial automation equipment where electrical connection, spring performance, mechanical retention, shielding, and repeatable assembly matter.
where our stampings fit
Industrial automation systems use precision stampings across motion, sensing, control, power distribution, and equipment interfaces.
Part requirements vary with electrical function, load, cycle rate, vibration, environment, packaging, and assembly method.
key design & manufacturing requirements
Industrial automation stampings should be evaluated within the complete electrical, mechanical, and motion-control system.
Gromax can review those interactions early, before production tooling begins.
Electrical Connection & Current Path
Contacts, terminals, and busbars require controlled geometry, contact area, alignment, and finish to support reliable current and signal transfer.
Spring & Contact Performance
Spring contacts, clips, and retainers depend on material temper, bend geometry, deflection, contact force, and recovery over repeated cycles.
Material Selection
Copper alloys, brass, stainless steel, beryllium copper, cold-rolled steel, and other materials may be selected according to conductivity, strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion exposure, and wear.
Plating & Surface Finish
Tin, nickel, gold, silver, or other specified finishes may support conductivity, solderability, corrosion resistance, wear life, or repeated mating.
Mechanical Fit & Retention
Hole location, bend angle, formed height, tab geometry, burr direction, and retention features can directly affect alignment, fastening, and assembly repeatability.
Vibration & Repeated Motion
Components used near motors, conveyors, robotic joints, and moving equipment must maintain fit and contact under vibration, cycling, and normal production variation.
quality, compliance & production support
Industrial automation programs often require consistent control of dimensions, formed geometry, contact position, material, plating, and tooling condition over long production runs.
Critical-Dimension Inspection
Verify terminal position, hole location, formed height, contact geometry, pin profile, bracket alignment, and other features that affect fit or function.
Material & Finish Control
Review alloy, temper, plating, coating thickness, lot identification, and specified surface requirements.
Custom Gaging & Functional Checks
Use application-specific fixtures where contact alignment, bracket position, pin geometry, or assembly relationships are difficult to verify with standard measurement alone.
Tool & Process Control
Support production with progressive-die maintenance, dimensional monitoring, burr control, forming review, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and corrective action.
Customer-Specific Qualification & Traceability
Support PPAP, FAI, capability studies, control plans, traceability, inspection records, and other customer-defined documentation where required.
