Robotic Trimmer Line

Robotic Production Technology (RPT) and FANUC Robotics America jointly announced the release of six models of the AccuTrim™ robot. These models include a FANUC robot, RPT process tooling and a unique and proprietary combination of software features and tools designed specifically for path-intensive, non-metallic product trimming applications. AccuTrim robots include the tools needed for applications where a combination of high reliability, tight product feature tolerances, high path repeatability and quick cycle times are important.

AccuTrim robots include quick Tool Center Point Recovery, Collision Guard to protect the robot, expanded robot memory and feature accuracy enhancements, in addition to other proprietary process-specific software tools. These packages combine the technology needed to create successful robotic production systems for path intensive applications like waterjet cutting and routing. RPT and FANUC Robotics are introducing three AccuTrim models for waterjet applications – the AccuTrim WJ-44, WJ-22L and WJ-33; and three AccuTrim models for routing applications – the AccuTrim R-44, R-99 and R-363.
