Routing
Background
Routing and edge trimming are widely used for deflashing and contour machining of plastic parts, composites, and castings. The process requires path accuracy along contours, while manual trimming is inconsistent, tiring, and hard to stabilize.
Industry Pain Points
Consistency, Force Compensation, and Strain
Manual routing can create inconsistent contours and unstable edge quality.
Blank size variation requires force compensation to keep cutting depth consistent.
Repetitive work causes strain, making efficiency and quality hard to balance.
01
Cost and ROI
Competitive UFACTORY hardware cost helps small and midsize manufacturers and integrators reduce procurement and integration cost and shorten payback.
02
Plug-and-Play Setup
The ISO flange and standard I/O make precision routing end-effector installation easier and shorten deployment.
03
Vision Integration
The UFACTORY 850 connects to 2D/3D vision for automatic contour and edge recognition on flexible lines with part variation.
04
Open Development
ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs support process-specific routing development and secondary integration for varied line needs.
05
Process Consistency
±0.02 mm repeatability helps follow contours accurately, keeping edge quality and contour dimensions consistent while reducing scrap.
06
Precise Force Control
With a six-axis force/torque sensor, the robot can sense contact force and apply steadier feed force along the contour.
07
Labor Value Release
Robots reduce repetitive routing work, occupational strain, staffing limits, and capacity bottlenecks.
08
Flexible Changeover
Lightweight construction and simple programming support fast station transfer, product changeover, and varied routing tasks.
