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.
