This solution is unique because it combines cutting off gates and excess material, precision grinding of critical features, and proven AV&R finishing processes such as blending and deburring sharp or belt-ground edges, as well as polishing surfaces to meet specifications.
Robotic Cutting and Grinding
Automate cutting and grinding processes, on metal parts under 200 mm, leading to predictable cycle time, repeatable quality, and safer workstations.
TECHNOLOGY AT A GLANCE
Automated Cutting and Grinding
With the BF-X 200-c, AV&R’s robotic technology automates the cutting and grinding processes of high-value, precision metal parts, from turbine blades and vanes in aerospace to orthopaedic implants and other precision components in industrial applications.
Cut, grind, and finish more in one shot: AV&R’s automated solution combines all abrasive material removal processes in a single machine.
THE MACHINE
The BF-X 200-c for Cutting and Grinding
This compact, multi-process robotic cell is the core of our expertise, engineered to automate high-precision cutting, grinding and finishing.
Key features:
- Multiple material removal equipment and sensors to automate abrasive processes
- Part flipping and multi-face access in a single setup
- Compatible with BrainWave software for easy programming and operation
- Designed for 24/7 production with industrial safety and integrated dust extraction
IS THIS FOR YOU?
Manufacturers of Metal Parts Under 200 mm
This AV&R technology is built for manufacturers of metal parts who want industrialized automation, not lab experiments. It is for plants that need consistent quality, safer working conditions, and a clear return on investment from cutting and grinding automation.
If your production technology relies on manual work or CNC finishing machines. If you encounter regular part rework, ergonomic issues, schedule pressure. Or if you currently have a robotic solution that is not flexible enough or only cover one of your abrasive material removal processes, you are in the right place.
YOUR CHALLENGES
How We Can Help
“My goal is to meet specifications every time; and stop over-grind.”
This solution tackles part rework, cosmetic defects and uncontrolled heat with force-controlled grinding, adaptive paths and tuned abrasive recipes.
“I need to make cycle time predictable and meet takt.”
Our machine replaces shift-to-shift variation with consistent material removal, automated loading and tool changes, and a process designed to follow your takt time.
“I want to get people off grinders to reduce incidents.”
The BF-X 200-c replaces repetitive, high-risk manual grinding with ergonomic loading while keeping operators away from dust, sparks and noise.
“My challenge is to reduce labor hours and rework, make finishing auditable and generate less waste”
Cutting and grinding automated by AV&R shortens cycle times and hand-offs, logs key parameters for full traceability, and uses closed cells with dust extraction and optimized consumables.
