KMT Robotic Solutions launches Robotrim FT-502

KMT Robotic Solutions has launched the Robotrim FT-502, a small footprint robotic routing system for the trimming of thermoformed, blow-moulded, rotationally moulded and composite products.

The Robotrim FT-502 is an enclosed robotic router trimming system with manual front doors with a single-base system structure and built-in fork lift pockets.

It features a wall-mounted, six-axis Accutrim R-44 robot, its R-30IA robot controller and a Fanuc IPendant colour teach pendant.

Parts up to 915 x 1,525mm in size can be placed on the stationary fixture table in the centre of the system's steel enclosure.

The manual front access doors (equipped with safety interlocks) enable operators to easily load and unload parts, while the system's steel enclosure and built-in safety devices ensure safety for the operator by separating them from the trimming area.

In addition, cycle start, e-stop and robot start buttons are mounted onto a pedestal so they can be easily accessed by the operator.

The wall-mounted Accutrim R-44 robot, equipped at the end with a 2.3kW fan cooled routing spindle, trims parts on the stationary fixture table in the centre of the cell.

The system's standard software tools include KMT's Routerware application software for part programming, Fanuc's Collision Guard software to protect the robot and fixture in the event of a collision and KMT's remote administration feature to connect to KMT service technicians via a phone line or Ethernet connection.

Additional optional mechanical and software features can also be added to suit the specific requirements of a customer's production environment.

The additional mechanical options include automatic front doors and an automatic tool changer.

Software options include the Trimpro CAD-to-Path programming software and the Campro CAM-to-Robot programming software.

The RT-502 is part of KMT's range of cost-effective, turnkey robotic router trimming systems designed for use on polymeric parts produced by thermoformers, plastics moulders and composite manufacturers for a range of industries including white goods, electrical appliance, automotive, bathroom equipment, consumer goods, marine craft and boatbuilding.

The routing systems are also suitable for use in the aluminium industry.
