01
Actuation and motion
Motors, drives, reducers, bearings, brakes and linear-motion components.
Source robot components
for production
Find and qualify robot component suppliers against the specification, quality evidence, capacity and commercial reality of your programme.
Direct answer
A supplier list is not a supply chain.
Production sourcing asks a more useful question than who sells robot parts: which supplier can provide this component, at this specification, with the evidence, change control and capacity the programme requires? Makea structures that decision across the complete BOM.
Start with the component families in the BOM.
The exact stack depends on the robot. Grouping the BOM makes supplier search, qualification and risk ownership clearer.
02
Sensing
Encoders, cameras, force/torque sensors, IMUs and proximity sensing.
03
Compute and control
Processors, motor controllers, safety controls and communications hardware.
04
Power
Batteries, power conversion, distribution, charging and thermal support.
05
Mechanical
Frames, enclosures, castings, machined parts, fasteners and protective elements.
06
Integration
Cable assemblies, harnesses, PCBs, connectors and final subassemblies.
Operational framework
Qualify robot component suppliers against the programme.
A low unit price cannot compensate for missing capability, evidence or repeat capacity. Use one scorecard across every supplier decision.
Technical fit
Materials, tolerances, interfaces, test requirements, documentation and change control.
Quality
Inspection method, calibration, traceability, non-conformance handling and evidence.
Capacity
Prototype support, repeat capacity, tooling, constraints and a realistic lead time.
Commercial
Quote inclusions, MOQ, payment terms, tooling ownership, warranties and price breaks.
Resilience
Critical sub-tier dependencies, approved alternatives, allocation and lifecycle exposure.
Delivery
Packaging, export documents, logistics responsibility, receiving and spare-parts support.
Makea × Robotuo
Source for production, not just the prototype.
Makea maps the requirement, organises supplier search, controls RFQs, tracks samples and production, and keeps quality evidence with the order. It is not an open directory.
