Robotic Trimming Automation Systems

Robotic trimming can be performed on metal, plastic, fabric, & wood parts. Robotic trimming can be performed with laser, mechanical router, or waterjet technologies depending on part composition, environmental factors, throughput requirements, & budget. Trimming applications are usually performed with a tool to part based robot system design, meaning the robot is fitted with the appropriate trimming equipment & presents it to the part. Rimrock specializes in the application of laser cutting, & mechanical routing.

In some instances, such as for mechanical trimming of small parts, a part to tool based robot system design is possible. In those cases, typical end of arm tooling mechanisms are vacuum cups or pneumatic grippers, and selection is largely dependent on part size, weight, & surface conditions.
