Kit car maker cuts its costs
September 1st 2008

A robotic routing system from KMT Robotic Solutions has helped Factory Five Racing, maker of component car kits, to improve part quality by more than 200% and reduce trim time by more than 95%.

Replacing a hand trimming process, the fully-enclosed robotic router system from KMT Robotic Solutions offers the flexibility to trim each of Factory Five's seven parts.

The system features a rail-mounted M-710iB FANUC robot with parts presented to the robot on a fixture cart equipped with a uniquelyencoded ID tag that identifies the trimming program for the part, improving quality and reducing production time. The interchangeable router bits are powered by a 7 kW electric spindle. The process of trimming four sets of panels that used to take 7.5h now takes just 24min.
