Robotics Industry

The advent of lidar (light detection and ranging), artificial intelligence, and the advancements in robots themselves has made the robotics industry larger and more varied than ever before. Manufacturers use robots to assemble and heft machinery too large for people to carry. Often, robots work alongside human employees, performing repetitive tasks and handling hazardous items. E-commerce companies use robots to move products in warehouses and deliver goods. Search and rescue, weather, surveillance, firefighting, and traffic entities operate drones to accomplish their missions, saving labor and fuel. Police and the military deploy robots into dangerous situations to keep people safe.

Robots work in the healthcare, agricultural, food preparation, manufacturing, fabricating, and military fields. Their global presence creates a greater-than-ever demand for components used in their prototyping, building, modifying, and maintenance.

When engineers design these mechanical helpers, they need a source for bearings. It helps if that source has the knowledge and expertise to guide a customer to the bearings they need. We call our employees sales engineers for a reason. They understand what engineers, purchasers, and fabricators need to build a robot prototype or manufacture robots on a large scale. 

Alpine Bearing carries a variety of sizes, types, and brands to help you build a better robot or keep the ones you have going strong. Our large inventory ensures we have bearings in stock and ready to ship the same day. Contact one of our experienced sales engineers for information about the best bearings for your robot.
