Buyer situation
A magnetic or electromechanical assembly is moving from prototype fit checks toward pilot release.

Magnetic Assembly Pilot Gate Review
A structured proof path for locking magnet grade, orientation, carrier geometry, bonding assumptions, runout, balance, and pilot-release evidence before repeat builds.
Proof boundary: Defines the evidence buyers should request and lock during RFQ, pilot, and release gates.
Representative motion-hardware visuals frame magnet bonding, carrier fit, runout/balance, and pilot document-pack discussions; they should not be read as a named customer magnetic assembly photo.
Manufacturing route
Engineering-reviewed partner execution with Linkup-governed intake, CTQ lock, document-pack planning, and release gates.
Proof boundary
This is a template-guided public proof path, not a completed customer case.
Project Context
Magnet grade, coating, orientation, adhesive, carrier fit, runout, balance, and release documents often arrive as disconnected assumptions.
Part family
Magnetic assemblies, magnet carriers, rotor/stator-adjacent hardware
Program type
Magnetic assembly prototype-to-pilot
RFQ context
Magnetic assembly / pilot validation
CTQ Map
| Feature | Why it matters | Evidence path |
|---|---|---|
| Magnet grade, coating, and orientation | The RFQ needs grade assumptions, coating constraints, magnetization direction, polarity/orientation controls, and handling notes. | RFQ lock checklist plus drawing or specification references for orientation and coating assumptions. |
| Carrier fit and bonding window | Pocket fit, adhesive gap, cure assumptions, surface preparation, and retention risk need a shared process window. | Bonding process window, fixture notes, and pilot-gate acceptance checklist. |
| Runout, balance, and assembly evidence | Air-gap-adjacent features should connect geometry, assembly handling, and inspection expectations before pilot freeze. | Representative runout/balance checks, visual inspection, and document-pack release summary. |
DFM / Inspection Risk
Magnet and carrier assumptions were not in one controlled RFQ package.
Risk: Pilot builds can drift if grade, coating, orientation, fit, and adhesive assumptions change separately.
Control: Use one intake checklist to lock magnetic, mechanical, and evidence assumptions before route selection.
Bonding window needs to be discussed before production pressure.
Risk: Late adhesive or coating changes can alter fit, retention, and verification work.
Control: Document adhesive gap, surface state, fixture approach, cure assumptions, and inspection expectations.
Pilot acceptance must be evidence-based.
Risk: A visually acceptable assembly may still miss runout, balance, or document-pack expectations.
Control: Freeze acceptance gates before pre-ship release.
Route Controls
Structured magnetic RFQ intake
Collect magnet grade, orientation, coating, carrier datum, bonding, runout, balance, and document-pack needs up front.
Pilot gate review
Translate prototype lessons into pilot verification requirements before repeat-build handoff.
Partner-route governance
Separate Linkup-governed engineering review and release coordination from upstream magnet manufacturing ownership claims.
Evidence Artifacts
Magnetic RFQ lock checklist
Aligns magnet, carrier, bonding, inspection, and documentation requirements.
Bonding process window
Captures fit, adhesive, surface, cure, and inspection assumptions.
Pilot validation release pack
Defines what must be available before repeat-build handoff.
Boundary Notes
The public page should not imply owned magnet production, owned motor production, or complete robot module manufacturing.
Linkup can govern magnetic assembly intake, CNC carrier interfaces, partner-routed process coordination, and evidence planning.
Buyer-owned performance validation remains separate from manufacturability and inspection evidence unless explicitly supplied.
Operating Scope
Operating Boundary Behind This Proof
This proof page maps a scoped manufacturing route, not full system ownership. Linkup governs DFM review, CTQ translation, partner-route coordination, inspection expectations, and release documentation while customer-owned architecture and acceptance validation remain separate.
Governed by Linkup
Commercial intake, engineering review, route planning, quality expectations, progress follow-up, and release coordination stay under Linkup governance.
- CAD intake and DFM review: A human review connects drawings, CTQs, materials, finishes, quantities, and timeline to a manufacturable route before quote lock.
- RFQ route planning and supplier coordination: Linkup selects and coordinates the execution route based on process fit, lead time, inspection access, and program sensitivity.
Partner-routed
Qualified manufacturing partners execute approved machining, finishing, assembly, inspection, balancing, packaging, or shipment tasks by program scope.
- Precision machining and finishing: Approved partners execute CNC machining, finishing, and process-specific work under the route assumptions Linkup communicates.
- Magnetic or assembly-adjacent steps: Selected magnetic assembly, bonding, alignment, balancing, packaging, or shipment tasks can be routed through qualified partners when the RFQ defines the acceptance method.
Customer-owned
Final product architecture, system-level validation, proprietary design intent, acceptance thresholds, and certification decisions remain customer-owned.
- Final product and system architecture: The buyer owns the final motor, robot joint, magnetic circuit, mechanism, firmware, and product architecture decisions.
- Performance validation and certification: Linkup can help align manufacturing evidence, but final performance validation and certification decisions depend on the buyer-defined system test.
Out of scope
The magnetic-to-motion thread is a manufacturing-scope map, not a claim of self-owned raw-material-to-robot production.
- Self-owned raw-material-to-robot claims: Linkup does not present itself as an owned raw magnet producer, owned motor factory, complete robot joint module factory, or raw-material-to-finished-robot producer.
- Unbounded commodity or no-drawing work: The RFQ path is built for robotics, automation, magnetic/electromechanical assemblies, advanced hardware, complex interfaces, and inspection-critical parts.
Visual Evidence Context
These selected visuals point to the actual interface, inspection, or document-pack concept behind the proof path. They are not decorative factory imagery.

Upload CAD and drawings for a one-business-day first response when the RFQ package is complete. We review magnetic assembly, actuator-adjacent, complex CNC interface, and prototype-to-pilot risks before quote direction and partner-route planning.
Typical 5-9 working day CNC sample timing applies only when the CNC route is qualified after scope, material, inspection, partner route, and schedule review. Assembly and pilot support are scoped separately after prototype assumptions are clear.
