Getting your robot project from prototype to production shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. PCBSYNC specializes in PCB assembly for robotics applications, handling everything from simple sensor boards to complex multi-layer control systems that keep your machines running smoothly.
We work with hobbyists building their first autonomous rover and engineering teams developing industrial robots. The assembly process covers surface mount components down to 0201 size, through-hole parts, and mixed technology boards. Our equipment handles fine-pitch BGAs, QFNs, and those tricky connectors that always seem to cause headaches during manual assembly.
Robot PCBs take a beating. Motors create electrical noise, vibrations shake connections loose, and thermal cycling from power electronics stresses solder joints. That’s why we pay attention to details like proper component orientation for heat dissipation, conformal coating application for harsh environments, and x-ray inspection of critical power delivery traces.
The typical turnaround runs 5-7 business days for standard orders, with rush services available when your demo is next week and the current boards aren’t cooperating. We’ve assembled boards for drone flight controllers, robotic arm drivers, AMR navigation systems, and educational robot kits. Small batches of 10 units or production runs of several thousand—both work.
Upload your BOM and Gerber files through the online portal, and you’ll get a quote within a few hours. The system flags potential issues like missing footprints or obsolete components before manufacturing starts, which saves time compared to discovering problems halfway through assembly.
Quality checks include automated optical inspection, flying probe testing for smaller batches, and functional testing when you provide test procedures. We can also handle firmware programming if your microcontrollers need code loaded before shipping.
PCBSYNC keeps robot projects moving forward without the usual assembly bottlenecks. Straightforward pricing, reliable results, and support that actually responds when you have questions.
