Absolutely. Armoloy coatings are applied with tight thickness control (as low as 0.00005), making them suitable for aluminum, titanium, and precision-machined alloys commonly used in lightweight and high-speed robots. They add durability without adding significant weight or altering critical tolerances—key for performance in space-limited or payload-sensitive designs.

The Purpose of Robotics Plating
Robotics plating and coatings are vital in ensuring the durability and reliability of robotic systems by providing essential protection and performance enhancements for their components. These specialized coatings are engineered to offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear,
and extreme temperatures,
which are typical challenges in robotics environments.
Moreover, robotics coatings help improve efficiency by minimizing friction, enhancing durability, and reducing maintenance costs. Adherence to stringent industry standards such as AMS 2438, AMS 2460, and NADCAP ensures that robotics coatings meet the highest quality and safety criteria, making them crucial in modern robotics applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Armoloy’s thin dense chrome coatings create a low-friction surface that minimizes stick-slip behavior and reduces wear at sliding interfaces. This helps robotic joints, bearings, and actuator components operate smoother and with less energy loss, improving efficiency, accuracy, and mechanical life in both high-speed and high-load applications.
Armoloy coatings are ideal for robotic arms, linear actuators, ball screws, end effectors, gripper jaws, gears, and motion control components. These parts require low-friction movement, wear resistance, and precision surface finishes to maintain long-term reliability in industrial, medical, and collaborative robotic systems.
