Compact
Robot, spindle, table and guarding in a small footprint.
Robotic trimming and deburring of molded parts
The operator loads the part onto the fixture and the robot follows its contour, removing the excess edge along a path that repeats from cycle to cycle.
What it's for
Trimming and deburring
For manufacturers who trim and deburr fiberglass, ABS, vinyl or thermoformed parts and want a consistent finish that doesn’t depend on the workforce of each shift. The operator loads the part onto the fixture and the robot follows the contour, removing the excess edge.
The robotic cell can have two stations to keep production moving, QR code part identification for quick changeovers, and perimeter guarding with light curtains to suit the operation.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions.
How does changeover between different parts work?
Fixtures can carry a QR code. A reader identifies the part and the robot selects the matching program, with no need to reprogram the robotic cell.
Does the robot stop while the operator changes parts?
In the two-station configuration, the robot trims on one table while the operator loads the other. Light curtains monitor each side in line with NR-12 (Brazilian machine-safety standard).
Is there an option for limited floor space?
Yes. The compact configuration brings the robot, spindle, table and guarding together in a small footprint.
Which materials can be trimmed?
We work with fiberglass, ABS, vinyl and thermoformed parts. For other materials, feasibility is confirmed during the technical assessment.
