For large, complex pressure vessel assemblies, layout and marking, cutting, and grinding processes can consume a full shift or more, creating bottlenecks and consume valuable skilled labor.
Safety
Robotic cutting eliminates operator risks such as tripping hazards, combustible gases, and awkward ergonomic positions.
Cut quality
Consistent geometry and high cut quality results in weld-ready parts, reducing bottlenecks, secondary grinding steps, and the need for excess weld filler material.
Secondary operations
Minimize the need for secondary grinding and finishing operations after cutting, reducing prolonged exposure to cutting and grinding noise, dust, and vibration, and making the most of your time and your workforce.
Skilled labor
Get ahead of the skilled labor shortage by shrinking the learning curve for newer employees, and replacing time-consuming and inconsistent manual layout marking and cutting operations with easy-to-program automated solutions.
State of the art robot and programming technologies enables flexible high-mix, low volume production, and by working with a robot cell integrator, it is possible to combine several operations into a single cell (cutting, welding, grinding, handling), optimizing your value stream.
