Versatile Trimming & Routing

Break the limitations of conventional cutting with a clean and agile alternative. Yaskawa Motoman's ultrasonic solution delivers cleaner cuts and infinite flexibility for trimming, routing, deflashing and more. Patented robotic tools add versatility and streamline changeovers for low-volume secondary operations.

Customize your cuts

Buyers of custom-designed plastic, fiber and composite components are demanding shorter runs with a high level of customization. If your current tools aren't viable for handling low-volume orders, it's time to consider a solution that expands your capability to be agile and profitable without compromising quality.

Yaskawa Motoman has partnered with world-class cutting technology and industrial integration providers to offer a suite of robot-guided ultrasonic knives and routing tools, designed to work with a multitude of cuts and materials.

Improved Cut Quality

Achieve more control with programmable trackball and self-sharpening tool options.

Simple Changeovers
