How CNC Machined Clevis Brackets Improved Robotic Assembly Efficiency

Daniel's company was developing a new robotic end-effector positioning system for automated assembly cells. The clevis mounting brackets supplied by a local vendor suffered from poor dimensional consistency, particularly in the fork spacing and threaded mounting features. During assembly, technicians frequently needed to rework components, causing production delays and increased labor costs.

After reviewing the customer's 3D model and assembly requirements, we proposed manufacturing the component from Aluminum 6061-T6 using a combination of CNC turning and precision milling. Special attention was given to the fork slot geometry, threaded interfaces, and critical mounting surfaces. Every batch underwent CMM inspection to ensure dimensional repeatability and assembly compatibility.

• Part: CNC Machined Clevis Mount Bracket
• Material: Aluminum 6061-T6
• Manufacturing Process: CNC Turning + CNC Milling
• Surface Finish: Brushed Natural Aluminum
• Critical Fork Width Tolerance: ±0.02 mm
• Thread Specification: M20 × 1.5
• Quantity: 1,200 Pieces

Following successful implementation, the customer signed a twelve-month supply agreement and placed four repeat orders totaling 7,800 units, generating cumulative sales of $96,400.
