We engineer purpose-built robotic arm solutions for your exact payload, cycle time, and facility constraints — with full intellectual property transfer and ISO 10218-certified safety validation. Typical clients achieve ROI in 11 months through labour elimination and 99.2% uptime reliability. Fixed-fee packages from $28,000–$85,000 based on complexity.
Fixed-fee CAD engineering · ISO 10218-certified · Full IP transfer
Retrofit robots suffer from mismatched robotic load-bearing design, causing joint fatigue and unplanned downtime. Our specification process starts with your operational reality: payload dynamics up to 150 kg, box fragility, line speed up to 1,200 cycles/hour, and facility constraints. We optimise robotic joint design, actuator selection, and load distribution to eliminate vibration — extending service life by 3.2× versus modified commercial arms.
We work with three primary arm configurations depending on your facility layout and throughput requirements:
- Articulated robot arm design — 4–6 axis configurations for complex reach envelopes and multi-layer pallet patterns. Most common in food, pharma, and e-commerce distribution.
- Cylindrical robot arm design — compact footprint with vertical and rotational axes; well-suited to confined floor space and single-SKU operations.
- Modular arm designs — scalable, reconfigurable robot arm sections that allow capacity expansion without full system replacement. Preferred where product mix changes frequently.
Every solution includes complete robotic arm design parameters documentation and a detailed robotic arm design considerations analysis to ensure integration with your existing conveyor and WMS infrastructure.
Fixed-fee engineering packages
All prices are fixed before contract signing. No hourly billing, no scope creep charges.

Engineering process: from concept to certified deployment
Phase 1 — requirements and design concept
We document all robotic arm design parameters: payload dynamics, workspace envelope, safety protocols, and integration requirements. Deliverable: a signed-off robotic design specification with complete robotic arm design plans and a fixed project price within 24 hours of enquiry.
Phase 2 — CAD modelling and simulation
Using CATIA V5/V6, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360, we build a detailed robot arm 3D model. Every joint and compliance mechanism undergoes FEA stress analysis and motion simulation to validate robotic performance under full rated load. Robotics hardware design is fully integrated at this stage, covering actuator sizing, drive train selection, and cable management routing.
Phase 3 — prototype validation and certification
Physical testing against ISO 10218 safety standards. Documentation includes fatigue analysis reports, functional test logs, and compliance certificates. All robotic arm design parts are specified with manufacturing tolerances and material certifications for direct handover to your preferred fabricator.
Global compliance included — no retrofit costs
Every package ships with region-specific certification documentation:
- Americas: ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 validation + OSHA 1910.333 electrical safety compliance
- Europe: CE Technical File per Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC + ISO 13849-1 PLd validation
- Asia: JIS B 8433-1:2019 (Japan), KC Mark support (Korea), GB/T 12642-2013 (China)
All packages include full IP transfer on final payment — your design, your asset. Optional annual support contracts are available at 8% of the project fee, covering remote diagnostics and firmware updates.
Proven track record in industrial palletizing
Engineering led by an ex-FANUC Principal Engineer with 18 years in palletizing robotics and 47 deployed systems across 12 countries. Recent project: a 120 kg articulated arm for a European pharmaceutical distributor — zero safety incidents across 14 months of 24/7 operation. We have delivered articulated, cylindrical, and modular arm designs for clients in food production, e-commerce logistics, automotive supply, and chemical processing.
