6-AXIS ROBOTIC TRIMMING

Aero Services operates advanced 6-axis robotic trimming systems for the accurate and repeatable trimming of vacuum-formed thermoplastic and Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composite components. This capability supports both high-volume production and precision-critical parts.

Accuracy, Repeatability & Speed

Robotic trimming delivers consistent results that exceed traditional manual trimming methods:

  • High accuracy and repeatability for trimming to drawing
  • Consistent edge quality and feature definition
  • Reduced operator variability, rework, and scrap
  • Production rates significantly higher than manual techniques

 

Applications

Robotic trimming supports a wide range of components, including:

  • Vacuum-formed interior and exterior panels
  • Thermoplastic covers, enclosures, and ducting
  • FRP and composite panels and shells
  • Parts with cut-outs, apertures, and interface features

 

Integration with Design & Tooling

Trim paths are derived from CAD data, and fixtures/nests are designed in-house to ensure accurate part location during trimming. This integration supports fast updates during development and reliable repeatability in production.
