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.
