Aurora provides electronic component sourcing solutions for robotics and motion control applications, supporting industrial robots, collaborative robots, AGVs, and autonomous systems with motor control components, sensors, processors, communication devices, and reliable semiconductor solutions.
Robotics isn't one BOM -- it's three: motor control, sensor fusion, and real-time communication. Aurora consolidates them into one partner. One invoice. One engineer who understands why gate driver dead-time matters and why encoder resolution determines trajectory accuracy.
6-axis articulated arm. 3-axis Cartesian gantry. Each motor requires a gate driver (TI DRV8x, Infineon EiceDRIVER), MOSFET/IGBT half-bridge, current-sense amplifier (TI INA series), and position feedback interface. Regenerative braking energy needs to go somewhere -- bus capacitors and braking choppers matter.
Stereo cameras (Onsemi, Sony IMX), ToF depth sensors (ST VL53Lx), IMUs (Bosch BMI, TDK InvenSense), and an embedded processor (NVIDIA Jetson, NXP i.MX) capable of running SLAM at 30 fps. Power management gets complicated fast -- 5+ rails, sequencing requirements, thermal throttling in fanless enclosures.
Every collaborative robot needs a SIL-rated safety controller. Dual-channel redundant MCUs (TI Hercules, NXP S32), isolated industrial Ethernet (EtherCAT, Profinet IRT), and safety-rated I/O with diagnostic coverage. Fail-safe means fail-safe -- not fail-email.
Independent third-party certification ensures our products meet the highest standards. We take this responsibility seriously and remain accountable to these standards.
A Bavarian packaging machinery builder faced a line stop when STM suddenly allocated their STM32F407 controller -- the sole MCU across 3 machine models. Production was 72 hours from halting. Aurora sourced 5,000 verified units across authorized European and Asian channels. Full lot traceability. Same firmware binary. Zero line downtime.*
A Northern Italian system integrator discovered mid-project that a single Harting industrial connector -- specified into 22 control panels -- carried a 16-week lead time. Aurora cross-referenced a TE Connectivity equivalent from stock in Singapore. 130 units delivered in 4 days. The integrator now runs all connector BOMs through Aurora before finalizing panel designs.*
