Bearing-Bore Precision as a Core Competency
Qualified programmes combine ±0.002mm bore diameter in H6/J6/K6 fits, ±0.001mm free-state roundness , and ±0.003mm bore-to-bore concentricity .
CNCPioneer manufactures custom bearing-bore housings, structural shells, and lightweight joint bodies for finger, wrist, elbow, knee, and hip joints.

A humanoid robot joint housing is the precision structural body around an actuated joint.
Bore diameter, roundness, and concentricity determine preload, friction, stiffness, and alignment.

Coordinate geometry, material, finishing and inspection around the part's intended function.
Qualified programmes combine ±0.002mm bore diameter in H6/J6/K6 fits, ±0.001mm free-state roundness , and ±0.003mm bore-to-bore concentricity .
Topology-optimised 7075-T6 and AZ91D housings use ultrasonic wall mapping to ±0.050mm and mass verification to ±0.5g per housing, or ±0.1g for hand joints .
Every enquiry receives a 24-hour DFM review covering bearing fit and anodise allowance, concentricity routing, thin-wall clamping, CAD mass checks, interface locations, and five-axis access.
Review mounting faces, pockets and wall thickness and functional requirements before defining the process.
Rechucking can add 0.010–0.030mm error and increase joint friction.
Support extends from drawing review and prototypes through PPAP Level 3 or repeat production, with coordinated inspection records, material certificates, mass verification, and delivery planning.
Explore representative configurations and share your drawing for a product-specific review.

MCP, PIP, DIP, and thumb CMC housings use Ø4–15mm bearing bores, 1.0–2.5mm walls, and 2–8g mass targets.

Two- and three-DOF wrist housings combine Ø20–40mm primary bores with secondary axes held to ±0.003mm concentricity and ±0.02° orientation.

Elbow housings use Ø30–60mm bearing bores to ±0.002mm and ±0.003mm concentricity, with cable passages and flange faces controlled to the bore axis.
Match the component to its operating environment, assembly interfaces and documentation requirements.

One programme covers all joint types from finger to hip, with consistent bore precision, mass verification, robot-serial build synchronisation, PPAP-qualified production, and IATF 16949 documentation.
