Robot Cell Mounting Plate
Welded robot pedestal plate, roughly 1,200 × 800 mm, built from 8 mm plate and 6 mm stiffening ribs. The robot interface and its bolt pattern are machined in one setup after stress relief, so the mounting face is flat and stays flat in service. Made by WERIX Metal from S355 steel 8.0mm base + 6.0mm ribs to a tolerance of ±0.1mm on the machined interface, finished with Machined interface, primer on the fabricated faces. Typical order volume is From 5 to 200+. Free DFM quote within 24 hours.

Robot Cell Mounting Plate: manufacturing notes
This part — robot cell mounting plate — is manufactured in our Dongguan plant. The notes below explain the manufacturing decisions behind the specification: why this material, why this forming sequence, and what the tolerance actually requires in production.
How the part is formed
The production route for this part is Laser Cutting, MIG Welding, Stress Relief, CNC Machining. Fiber laser cutting separates the blank without hard tooling, which is what makes a first article economical: the profile can change between the prototype and the production run without a die sunk. The trade-off is a small heat-affected edge, so on parts that will be painted we deburr and, where the edge is a sealing face, dress it flat before coating. MIG welds at a higher deposition rate than TIG, so it suits heavier gauges and long runs of structural joints. The trade-off is a slightly wider heat-affected zone and a weld bead that usually wants dressing where it shows, both of which are built into the process sequence when we quote.
What ±0.1mm on the machined interface actually requires on the shop floor
The drawing calls for ±0.1mm on the machined interface. On a part like this that is a process decision, not an inspection decision: it fixes which machine holds the critical features, how the part is fixtured for each operation, and whether a formed feature can be checked after coating or has to be measured before it. We confirm the first article against the drawing and record the values, so the tolerance is demonstrated rather than assumed. If a dimension in your drawing is tighter than this part needs, it is usually worth relaxing it — over-toleranced features are one of the quietest cost drivers in a sheet metal quote.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the minimum order quantity for robot cell mounting plate?
- The order range for this part is From 5 to 200+. Below the low end of that range the tooling and setup are spread over too few pieces to be economic, so if you are prototyping we would normally build the first units from the same process route and quote the production quantity separately.
- Can the material be changed to reduce cost or weight?
- Yes — material substitution is one of the first things we raise in a DFM review, because it affects bend radii, welding process and coating system at the same time. Send the drawing and the service environment and we will set out the options.
- What finishing options are available for this part?
- The current finish specification is Machined interface, primer on the fabricated faces. Because every finishing line runs in-house, the finish can be changed without changing supplier, and we match colour to a RAL or Pantone reference on the drawing.
- How long does production take, and what do you need from us to quote?
- Prototypes are typically 3–7 business days and production runs 7–15 days once the drawing is released and the finish is confirmed. To quote we need the drawing or CAD file (STEP, DXF, DWG, IGES or PDF), the material and finish, the quantity and the destination — and any tolerance or inspection requirement that is not already on the drawing. You get a DFM review with the quotation, not after it.
