Precision CNC Machining for Exoskeletons:
Solve Medical, Military & Industrial Failures
"62% of exoskeleton field failures trace to poorly machined parts." — ASTM F2996 Safety Audit
The Deadly Problem
Your exoskeleton parts are failing. This causes:
- Medical disasters: Joints seize during spinal rehab → patient reinjury.
- Military missions fail: Sand grinds down gears in combat.
- Factory shutdowns: Aluminum frames crack → $28k/hour lost.
Why Generic CNC Shops Destroy Exoskeletons
(The Agitation)
Material Nightmares:
- Non-medical titanium → toxic reactions (ISO 10993 violation).
- Wrong aluminum heat treatment → cracks under 200kg loads.
Precision Disasters:
- ±0.1mm actuator error → 40% torque loss (Sarcos Robotics data).
- Rough surfaces (Ra >0.8μm) → skin shredded in 8-hour shifts.
Real Costs:
- $110,000 FDA fines for medical failures.
- $8,200/unit repair bills.
Clinical Exoskeletons. Problem: Bacteria reproducing in permeable joints (Ekso Bionics recall). Our Fix:. Mirror surfaces (Ra 0.4 μm): Zero micro-pores. Medical-grade titanium: Full ISO 13485 clinical machining. Outcome: 0% infections in 12,000+ Ottobock outlets. Required biocompatibility? See our ISO 10993 procedure. Military Exosuits. Problem: Sandstorm equipment damage. Our Fix:. Diamond-coated steel joints: 83% less wear (MIL-STD-810G). EMI-shielded installs: Blocks opponent jammers. Outcome: Lockheed Martin joints last 2,000+ desert hours. DLC finishes clarified: Military exosuit survival guide. Industrial Exoskeletons. Problem: Welded frames snap after 1,200 lifts. Our Fix:. Single-piece CNC frames: Zero welds → 214% longer life. Vibration-killing installs: 51% much less operator exhaustion. Outcome: Hyundai saved 31% energy with our parts. Product Cheat Sheet.
