Difference between robotics and automation

Explore our products
The robotics and automation industries are closely interconnected. Automation encompasses the use of machines and computers to perform various tasks, while robotics specifically involves physical robots executing physical tasks.

Robotics and automation are often intertwined, especially in industrial manufacturing. Take an automotive factory as an example. Its assembly line usually has hundreds of manufacturing robots doing automated jobs, sometimes with the help of machine vision. Nevertheless, automation can stand alone without robotics (like in software automation), and robotics can also exist independently of automation (such as a surgeon - controlled medical robot).

As a specialist in physical component prototyping, Aikete frequently handles robotics components. We also produce various automation parts, including conveyor belt components, control equipment, and logic controllers.

End effectors: How prototyping helps get from A to B

Robotic end effectors, the 'hands' of robots for gripping and manipulating, are crucial in robotic systems. Prototyping end effectors is essential for testing designs, materials, and fabrication techniques. Given the precision required by sensors and actuators, iterative prototyping and testing ensure optimal performance.

Robotics & automation manufacturing possibilities

Structural parts

Robotic systems need robust frames for versatile mechanical motions, such as swiveling and extending. At Aikete, we use advanced manufacturing processes and reliable materials to produce high-quality metal parts, including frames, shoulder joints, and gears.

Casings

In addition to structural and task-specific parts, Aikete manufactures casings, housings, tubing, and other essential components for robotic assemblies. These parts, made from plastic or metal, house structural, mechanical, and electronic elements. We offer cost-effective prototyping with 3D printing and urethane casting.

Medical prototyping

When prototyping a medical device, partnering with an experienced medical - device manufacturer is crucial. Aikete fits the bill. With a track record of collaborating with giants like Beckman Coulter, GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, and Becton Dickinson, we've manufactured a wide range of medical products, such as handheld devices, surgical tools, anatomical models, X - ray and MRI equipment. Additionally, we can work with nearly all materials to fulfill your requirements.
