MetalWorks Inc. Product Lineup

In recent years, with the evolution of physical AI and robotics, the development of systems utilizing high-performance SBCs (Single Board Computers) and edge computers has accelerated. However, operating development boards in real environments is challenging due to many issues such as: - Board protection - Heat dissipation measures - Robustness - Maintainability At MetalWorks, we design and manufacture dedicated cases for SBCs and edge computers tailored to our customers' applications and installation environments. As a notable achievement, we have designed and manufactured cases for the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano Super. These are not just protective cases; they are designed for practical operational levels, considering integration into robots and demonstration units. Moreover, instead of using 3D-printed prototypes, we achieve high rigidity and stable quality through metal processing. We provide comprehensive support from design to processing, offering optimal enclosures tailored to our customers' systems and installed devices. MetalWorks shapes the edge computing environments required in the implementation sites of robotic systems.

In the development of robotics and physical AI, even with excellent technology, it takes a lot of effort to create an environment that allows you to actually "show it in action." Opportunities to bring robots to the field are increasing, such as at exhibitions, proof of concepts (PoC), customer demos, and research and development purposes. However, manufacturing individual frames, electrical configurations, and sensor mounting parts each time is inefficient. At MetalWorks, we have standardized a mobile platform for collaborative robots based on our experience in robot system development and demo production. This product features: - A user-friendly standard size of W600 × D600 × H800 - Easy mobility and transport with casters - Ideal for exhibitions, PoC, and R&D purposes Additionally, the ceiling part is constructed with an aluminum frame, allowing for additional equipment to be mounted as needed, achieving high expandability. Furthermore, we can accommodate size changes and custom designs tailored to the customer's needs. It has already been adopted in numerous cases as demo machines and proof-of-concept machines utilizing collaborative robots, and is being used in proposal activities and technical verification at end-user sites.

In the development of robotics and physical AI, live demonstrations serve as both a "platform for conveying technology" and a "platform for advancing business." However, in practice, there are many cases where operations are conducted with challenges such as: - Bringing in evaluation equipment as is - Complicated wiring and equipment configurations - Lack of mobility and safety - Poor installation suitability at different sites At MetalWorks, we provide comprehensive support from design to the demonstration stands for collaborative robots, various sensors, and control devices. Based on an aluminum frame, we propose the optimal configuration tailored to each customer's specifications, taking into account application, mounted equipment, portability, safety, and maintainability. We design not just a simple "cart," but a mobile robot platform that considers the center of gravity and weight, assuming actual operational use. Our demonstration units have been widely adopted for exhibitions, proofs of concept, customer proposals, and research and development purposes utilizing collaborative robots. In an era where "showing it in action" is crucial, we propose stands that maximize the value of robots.

In robot development, visual sensors are a crucial element that underpins self-position estimation, object recognition, and imitation learning. On the other hand, in verification environments, unexpected behaviors and collisions are unavoidable, and it is not uncommon for cameras mounted on pan-tilt mechanisms to be damaged. Especially during the phases of actual machine testing, data collection, and reinforcement learning, there are many situations where operations are required to be conducted with the premise that "things will break." At MetalWorks, we design and manufacture fully customized protective guards specifically for pan-tilt cameras for the robotics development field. These are not just simple covers; they are designed with: - Shapes that do not obstruct the field of view (FOV) - Interference avoidance across the entire range of motion - Structures that consider energy dispersion during collisions with the premise of balancing sensing performance and protection performance. The guard does not guarantee that it will "never break." However, it can minimize damage to the camera body and reduce the risk of experiment interruptions. The most costly aspect of robot development is "time." You can utilize this as a solution to minimize losses from test interruptions and equipment replacements, ensuring that the development cycle does not come to a halt.
