From collaborative robot joints and vision systems to autonomous mobile robots and drone controllers — compact, high-reliability PCBs engineered for the precision demands of modern robotics.
Every joint, sensor and actuator in a modern robot depends on a precisely engineered PCB. We supply the full stack.
Dynamic rigid-flex boards with 0.5 mm bend radius eliminate board-to-board connectors inside compact 55 mm collaborative robot joint housings.
Any-layer HDI boards with 0.4 mm BGA pitch routing pack vision processing and AI inference compute into board areas as small as 50×50 mm.
16-layer HDI boards handling simultaneous LiDAR SLAM, camera SLAM and 5G connectivity for autonomous mobile robot navigation.
Miniature rigid-flex boards routed through tight mechanical passages to power grippers, force sensors and tool-changer electronics.
High-reliability multilayer boards with EtherCAT fieldbus interfaces for real-time servo drive and 3-phase motor control loops.
Compact HDI boards for dual-encoder and torque-sensor interfaces feeding closed-loop robot motion control systems.
IPC Class 2/3 multilayer boards on high-Tg laminate for main AGV drive controllers and industrial robot arm control units.
Lightweight rigid-flex boards for compact flight controller and payload gimbal electronics in aerial robotic systems.
Robots must be compact, fast and fault-free. Board failures stop production lines and autonomous operations — both are unacceptable.
A cobot joint must fit inside a 60 mm diameter housing while housing a motor controller, encoder interface, safety watchdog and fieldbus node. Only any-layer HDI and rigid-flex can deliver this density without compromising electrical performance or reliability.
any-layer HDI · rigid-flex · 60mm housing · 2.5/2.5 milEtherCAT and SERCOS real-time fieldbus protocols tolerate nanosecond-level jitter. At robot arm servo cycle times of 125 µs, PCB trace routing, differential pair matching and ground plane design directly affect motion quality and repeatability.
EtherCAT · differential pairs · ground plane · ±0.5 milRobot end-effectors experience continuous vibration, shock and occasional exposure to coolants and cleaning agents. PCBs must survive IEC 60068 vibration profiles, and stackups must be compatible with conformal coating or IP67 potting compounds.

The primary technology for robotics — rigid sections for component mounting, flex regions to route around joints and through tight mechanical passages. Eliminates board-to-board connectors (a major failure point in moving machines) and reduces assembly mass.
Maximum routing density in compact compute boards for vision processing, SLAM navigation and AI inference. Stacked microvias allow BGA routing at 0.4 mm pitch in board areas as small as 50 mm × 50 mm.
IPC Class 2 and Class 3 multilayer boards for main robot controllers, AGV drive systems and functional safety monitoring boards. High-Tg laminates for boards in proximity to motor heat, conformal coating for coolant exposure.

A failed PCB in a production robot stops an entire line. Our DFM review, 100% electrical test and flexible stackup expertise ensure your robot boards arrive ready to deploy — and stay deployed.
Real automotive PCB challenges — and how we solved them.
Ultra-compact rigid-flex board for a 7-axis collaborative robot joint. 55 mm diameter housing constraint, EtherCAT slave, 3-phase motor driver, dual-encoder interface and safety watchdog on a single board.
First physical fit confirmed at mechanical prototype stage without board revision. All EtherCAT timing specs met. Robot arm now in production at 2,000 units/month.
12-layer HDI board for an edge AI smart camera integrating NVIDIA Jetson module, dual GigE vision ports, IMX sensor interface and PoE++ power management in 85 mm × 55 mm.
99% first-pass electrical yield at production entry. Thermal performance 12°C below competing board design due to optimised via-in-pad thermal stack. Customer reduced heatsink by 30%.
16-layer HDI board for an AMR navigation computer handling simultaneous LiDAR SLAM, camera SLAM, motor control and 5G connectivity with 25W total power dissipation.
All SI specifications met at -40°C cold soak. AMR fleet has accumulated 500,000 operational hours across 12 warehouse sites with zero board-level failures reported.
Automotive procurement teams need more than a PCB factory — they need a certified partner with documented processes, fast engineering response and the depth to solve problems before the production line.
Robot development moves in sprints. Our 48-hour express prototype and 8-hour DFM review keep your mechanical and electrical teams in sync without supply chain delays.
We design rigid-flex stackups for robot joints in-house — no third-party fab handoff. Your connector-elimination strategy and flex region geometry are validated by our engineers before a single panel is pressed.
Any-layer HDI with 0.10 mm laser vias packs full compute and control capability into the compact board areas that robot housings demand. No external breakout boards, no ribbon cable harnesses.
From engineering prototypes to high-volume production. DDP delivery to robot manufacturing sites in Germany, Japan, USA and beyond — with all CE and RoHS documentation.
Our robotics PCB engineering team will review your design and return a full DFM report and quote within 8 working hours.
