Europe | 6-Axis Robotic Waterjet Workstation for Automotive Interior Trimming
The Challenge
A European automotive manufacturer was facing high scrap rates when processing complex interior components, such as dashboards, molded carpets, and roof linings. Traditional thermal cutting and mechanical routing caused material distortion, melted edges, and airborne dust. Furthermore, the client required a solution that strictly complied with European HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment) standards regarding workshop noise and cleanliness. They needed a highly accurate, cold-cutting water jet cutter capable of processing 3D curved surfaces efficiently.
The YUANHONG Solution
To address these specific production bottlenecks, our engineering team designed and integrated a custom Box-Type 6-Axis Robotic Water Jet Cutting Workstation.
Inverted 6-Axis Robotic Arm: Mounting the robot upside-down maximizes the effective working envelope, allowing the cutting head to easily access deep contours and complex 3D angles of automotive interior parts.
60K High-Pressure Pump: This core power source delivers a continuous, ultra-fine cutting stream. The cold-cutting waterjet system ensures clean, fray-free edges on soft fabrics and plastics without thermal distortion.
Vacuum Adsorption System: Flexible interior materials are securely held in place by strong vacuum suction during high-speed cutting, eliminating the need for complex mechanical clamps and preventing material shift.
Fully Enclosed Shielding Door: The double-layer frame and box-type design effectively contain water splashes and significantly dampen operational noise, keeping the factory floor dry and compliant with strict safety regulations.
Centralized PLC Control: Simplifies the programming process for different auto parts, ensuring stability for continuous, high-volume production.
The Impact
After integrating this robotic waterjet cutting machine, the client successfully eliminated the secondary deburring process. Production cycle times were shortened, and material waste was reduced to a minimum. The enclosed workstation design fully met the factory's environmental and safety requirements.
