Robotic Routing Automation Systems
Robotic routing can be performed on metal, plastic, fabric, & wood parts. Routing applications are usually performed with a tool to part based robot system design, meaning the robot is fitted with the appropriate router equipment & presents it to the part. Rimrock specializes in the application of mechanical routing for plastic or composite parts.
In some instances, such as for mechanical routing 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.
