AV&R is proud to announce the addition of a new technology to its expertise portfolio: automated cutting and grinding for precision metal parts. Built around our BF-X 200-c robotic platform, this solution is designed to automate cutting and grinding on metal parts under 200 mm, helping manufacturers achieve predictable cycle time, repeatable quality, and safer workstations.
A new way to cut, grind, and finish in one shot
With this new capability, AV&R’s robotic technology automates the cutting and grinding processes of precision metal parts, from turbine blades and vanes in aerospace to orthopaedic implants and other precision components in industrial applications.
What makes the approach unique is the combination of multiple abrasive material removal processes in a single automated cell.
Built for production teams
This technology is designed for manufacturers who want industrialized automation with a clear return on investment. It’s a strong fit for plants currently relying on manual work or CNC finishing machines, and facing recurring issues such as part rework, ergonomic constraints, and schedule pressure.
Solving the challenges that slow down cutting and grinding operations
Automated cutting and grinding with AV&R helps address common production pain points, including:
Meeting specifications consistently and reducing over-grind, supported by force-controlled grinding, adaptive paths, and tuned abrasive recipes.
Making cycle time predictable through consistent material removal, automated loading, tool changes, and a process aligned with takt time.
Improving safety by replacing high-risk manual grinding with ergonomic loading, keeping operators away from dust, sparks, and noise.
Reducing labor hours and rework while improving traceability by logging key parameters and using closed cells with dust extraction and optimized consumables.
