Service Robot OEM Sourcing from China
1 resources tagged with "Service Robots"
Service robots like robotic pool vacuums are a fast-growing consumer category where Chinese OEMs already build for most Western brands. A cordless pool-cleaning robot typically carries a $120–$350 OEM cost depending on battery capacity, brushless motor count, and whether it includes a self-parking dock; MOQs usually start around 300–500 units for private-label tooling. The hard part is not the chassis but the waterproofing — these units run submerged, so IP68 sealing and ingress testing matter more than spec sheets suggest.
When sourcing a service robot, you're buying a sealed electromechanical product where motor lifespan, gasket quality, and battery safety drive returns. We check IP68 ingress under pressure, UN 38.3 transport certification for the Li-ion pack, and run a real water-tank cycle rather than trusting the supplier's bench demo.

FAQ
What is the MOQ for a private-label pool cleaning robot?
Most Chinese OEMs set MOQs of 300–500 units for custom branding and packaging, and 1,000+ if you want mold changes to the housing. Below that, you usually take an existing model with a logo only.
What certifications does a battery-powered pool robot need?
For the Li-ion pack you need UN 38.3 for air/sea transport, plus CE/FCC for the electronics and the charger. WEEE and RoHS apply for the EU. The IP68 ingress rating should be verified by test, not just claimed.
What commonly goes wrong with OEM service robots?
The two recurring failures are water ingress past the seal after a few months of chlorine exposure, and drive motors that overheat on the largest pool sizes. We pressure-test sealing and run a full-cycle endurance check before shipment.
