Alliance Automation has over 20 years experience in designing and building robotic router systems for many industries.
Robotic Roouter Cutting
A robotic router system is a highly advanced automation technology that combines the precision of routing capabilities with the efficiency and versatility of robotic automation. This innovative system performs a wide range of material processing tasks, including cutting, shaping, and drilling, with exceptional accuracy and speed. By integrating robotic arms with advanced routing technology, a robotic router system eliminates human error, delivers consistent results, and significantly enhances productivity in manufacturing facilities. The system's ability to automate repetitive and labor-intensive tasks allows skilled workers to focus on more strategic and value-added activities, leading to improved overall efficiency. Moreover, a robotic router system ensures high-quality and consistent manufacturing, reducing scrap, rework, and waste. By investing in this technology, manufacturers can achieve higher production outputs, improved product quality, streamlined workflows, and a competitive edge in the industry.
Best used for rigid molded parts such as Thermoformed Plastics, Fiberglass, SMC, FRP, RTM and other composite materials.

These additional solutions keep your system running safely and efficiently. Increasing production and reducing downtime.
Our robotic router cutting systems can include a comprehensive automatic tool center point (TCP) verification and adjustment station. This station minimizes equipment collisions and operational downtime. It provides a thorough check of the attachement, ensuring that your router system operates seamlessly, reducing the risk of disruptions and increases productivity.
Automatic tool change (ATC) stations allow for many different cutting tools to be used by the same robot and changed automatically during the cutting cycle.
Programming for robotic router cutting systems is notably intricate due to its intensive focus on path planning and execution. To streamline and enhance this process, several software solutions are available:
Offline Programming (CAD to path): This method involves converting CAD designs directly into cutting paths, eliminating the need for manual programming and reducing potential errors. It enhances precision and efficiency in programming tasks.
Formcut® Shape Generation Software (Motoman): This specialized software by Motoman is designed to generate cutting shapes with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. It offers advanced features for path optimization, collision avoidance, and trajectory planning, enabling seamless integration with router cutting applications.
RobotWare Cutting® Shape Generation Software (ABB): ABB's RobotWare Cutting® software is tailored to optimize robot programming for cutting tasks. It provides sophisticated tools for shape generation, path optimization, and simulation, ensuring precise and efficient execution of cutting operations with ABB robotic systems.
These software options allows manufacturers to streamline router cutting programming, improve accuracy, reduce downtime, and maximize the productivity of their robotic router cutting systems.
