Robotic waterjet trimming system December 2007
 
The Cutting Box Original V is a high quality, turnkey robotic system for cutting three-dimensional parts with waterjets, featuring a 300 kg loading capacity turntable. The part to be cut is positioned on a special fixture on the cutting table and kept in place by vacuum suction. Though suitable for very high capacity applications, the Original V also provides more flexibility and lower costs for pre-production runs.

The Cutting Box Original V is fully compatible with the previous Original IV series, allowing fixtures and programs to be exchanged between the systems. Innovations include an improved Human Machine Interface (HMI), a complete family of tailor-made vacuum systems for specific requirements, enhanced stiffness in the mechanical structure to further high accuracy in the trimming process and design improvements to facilitate maintenance and refurbishment.

The Cutting Box Original V can be customised to meet specific trimming applications. It comes equipped with the latest IRC5 robot controller from ABB offering both single and multi move operation. The Cutting Box Original V can be equipped with six different and pre-designed robot configurations. WaterjetWare robot software from KMT Robotic Solutions helps customers to reduce online programming time.
