Robotic Segment: Fastening Elements for High-Performance Robotic Manufacturing


 

The Role of Advanced Fastening Elements in High-Performance Robotic Manufacturing

The rapid evolution of industrial automation has positioned robotic manufacturing systems as the backbone of modern, high-efficiency production environments. From automotive assembly lines to electronics manufacturing and precision engineering, robots deliver speed, consistency, and accuracy at scale. However, behind every reliable robotic system lies a critical but often underestimated component—robotic segment fastening elements.

Fastening elements play a vital role in maintaining the structural integrity, precision, and durability of robotic assemblies. Robotic applications are subject to constant dynamic loads, high vibration, repetitive motion, and thermal variations. Unlike conventional fasteners, robotic fastening solutions must be engineered to deliver vibration resistance, fatigue strength, and long-term stability over millions of operating cycles.

Even minimal loosening or micro-movement at robotic joints can result in cumulative positioning errors, affecting motion accuracy, product quality, and system reliability. Over time, this can lead to increased maintenance, unplanned downtime, and higher operational costs. Specialized fastening solutions—such as self-locking screws, high-strength bolts, threaded inserts, and precision dowel pins—help eliminate these risks by ensuring secure, repeatable, and alignment-critical connections throughout robotic segments.

Another key consideration in robotic manufacturing is assembly efficiency and serviceability. High-volume production environments demand fast installation, consistent quality, and easy maintenance. Modular and standardized fastening systems reduce assembly time, simplify replacement, and minimize machine idle periods—directly improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).

Material selection is equally important. Corrosion-resistant coatings, stainless steels, and high-performance alloys extend fastener life in demanding environments such as paint shops, clean rooms, or outdoor automation systems. Additionally, lightweight fastening solutions reduce the mass of robotic arms and moving segments, enabling faster cycle times, improved energy efficiency, and enhanced system responsiveness.

As robotic manufacturing continues to scale across industries, investing in the right fastening technology is essential for long-term performance and reliability. At Bossard, we deliver engineered fastening solutions specifically designed for robotic applications—combining precision, durability, and efficiency. By partnering with manufacturers early in the design and assembly process, Bossard helps optimize robotic systems for peak performance, reduced maintenance, and sustainable production success.                                                                                                                                                                                      Stay safe, stay strong—with Bossard’s hand and eye protection range.

Cable Entry Solutions: Grommets, Cable Glands, and Bushings Explained

Image
  Effective cable management is essential for ensuring safety, protecting wires, and enhancing the longevity of electrical installations. Cable entry solutions, including grommets, cable glands, and bushings , play a crucial role in safeguarding cables from damage, organizing them efficiently, and preventing potential hazards. Cable Grommets: Purpose and Types A cable grommet is a small but vital component used for cable management . It protects cables from abrasion, insulates electrical wiring, and prevents dust, dirt, and moisture from entering through cable holes. Additionally, grommets offer a neat and organized appearance while reducing the risk of electrical shock. Types of Grommets: Rubber Grommets: Made from thermoplastic rubber or EPDM, these provide excellent resistance to abrasion and protect cables in dynamic environments. Plastic Grommets: Typically made from nylon or PVC, they are lightweight and durable, suitable for less demanding applications. Grommets a...

Internal Logistics and the Importance of Last Mile Management

Image
How your enterprise manages its logistics determines its success and profitability. External logistics, or the flow of materials and final goods from production to the marketplace, is a well-understood concept that most people grasp.  Internal logistics also involves the flow of goods and materials. But as the name implies, said flow is managed internally to replenish work cells within the production center. Internal logistics deals with how goods and materials are stored, distributed and managed in-house, with accountability, trackability and, visibility key goals.  Material replenishment is the key to maintaining efficient production processes, especially those that take advantage of the milk run / water spider. Last Mile Management provides an elegant solution for internal logistics, providing a clear pathway for effective supply chain management .  How Bossard Optimizes the Last Mile  Bossard’s Last Mile Management incorporates many beneficial features that help...

How Do I Choose the Right Cable Tie?

Image
  There are many uses for cable ties, the list seems to be practically endless. But what are some common uses that we see in the industry? Typically you find cable ties anywhere in which you need to organize wiring, or hold something in place. This could range from the transportation industry, all the way down to the cable tie that holds your audio/visual cables in your house. What we want to talk about is how to properly select a cable tie for your project, because there are many things that come into play. One might think that a cable tie is a cable tie, but if you are working in outdoor or harsh environments, there is a lot to consider when choosing your cable tie. Basically it comes down to four things, tie design, length, what environment are you installing the tie in, and how strong do you need it to be. Tie Design There are a lot of different types of cable ties, and each of them are used for a different application. Standard nylon ties are your basic every day cable tie...
