Common Challenges

Ultra-high-strength hot-stamped steel destroys conventional trim dies within weeks. Die replacement cost and unplanned downtime directly erodes per-part margins on body-in-white components.

Thermal variation across shifts causes tolerance creep on safety-critical A-pillar and B-pillar trim lines — requiring frequent recalibration that halts production runs.

Automotive body flanges and compound curves cannot be programmed at the teach pendant. CAD-to-path offline simulation is essential for consistent cut quality at production speed.

FANUC 3D Robotic Laser Trimming — No Dies

FANUC M-20iD/12L with ROBOGUIDE offline programming from CAD step files. Zero tooling cost, zero die maintenance. ±0.12mm tolerance over two-shift production. One cell replaces multiple press tool die sets.

4 die sets eliminated
Case Result
Customer Feedback

Common Challenges

Excavator boom arms are heavy and thermally distortive during cutting. Fixture position drift means each subsequent part in a batch never precisely replicates the first.

Plasma cutting of Q690 high-strength structural steel generates a heat-affected zone requiring mechanical grinding before welding — direct labor cost added to every component.

Boom cross-section profiles with multi-axis cut angles cannot be safely programmed at the machine. Offline simulation with collision detection is essential for reliable production.

Dual-Positioner FANUC Structural Laser Cell

Dual external-axis positioners handle large structural parts with full rotation. FANUC ROBOGUIDE generates validated paths from CAD. Clean laser cut on Q690 up to 25mm — no HAZ, no grinding, one-pass weld-ready edge.

3× output vs plasma + grinding
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"Two suppliers failed on fixture repeatability before us. The dual-positioner setup fixed it. Output tripled and post-processing was completely eliminated."

EV Sheet Metal Cutting

Common Challenges

Large battery tray enclosures require 200–400 mounting holes with tight positional tolerance. A bank of drill presses cannot match the throughput or accuracy of a single robotic laser cell.

Conventional machining of 6xxx-series aluminum produces edge burrs that require manual deburring before gasket application — an extra operation at every tray before downstream assembly.

Battery tray mounting faces must hold ±0.2mm positional accuracy across the full part length. Inaccurate hole position compromises gasket sealing and creates a battery enclosure failure risk.

Single-Cell EV Battery Tray — Trim + Pierce

One FANUC robot cell completes full-boundary trimming and all 300+ hole patterns in a single setup. Laser piercing on 6xxx aluminum produces clean, burr-free edges — no deburring required. Cycle time: 22 minutes reduced to 6 minutes per tray.

22 min → 6 min cycle time
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"One cell replaced a full bank of drill presses. 300+ holes per tray, 99.8% first-pass yield — 40,000 trays without a single fixture adjustment."

Common Challenges

The micro-EV and LSEV markets demand rapid model iteration and customization. Traditional stamping dies for roof panels and doors cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months to develop, making low-volume production unprofitable.

Modern e-mobility designs feature complex, sweeping curves. Cutting these 3D profiles using manual methods or basic CNC routers results in inconsistent edge quality, requiring extensive manual finishing before assembly.

When a vehicle design is updated, hard tooling must be modified or scrapped. This inflexibility prevents manufacturers from quickly responding to market trends or specific customer requests.

FANUC Flexible 3D E-Mobility Laser Cell

One FANUC robotic laser cell replaces multiple stamping presses and manual cutting stations. Program directly from CAD to cut doors, roofs, fenders, and frames. Zero tooling costs. When the design changes, simply load a new program and resume cutting in minutes.

Zero Tooling Cost. 100% Flexibility.
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"We launch 3-4 new micro-EV models every year. The FANUC laser cell eliminated our stamping die costs entirely for body panels. We went from a 3-month tooling wait to cutting prototype panels the same afternoon."

Common Challenges

Small batch sizes make conventional programming and fixturing uneconomical. A 50-piece job should not require 4 hours of setup — but without the right system, it does.

Holes, slots and compound profiles on round tube or structural sections require simultaneous multi-axis movement — impossible with fixed-axis sawing or drilling machines.

Switching between mild steel, stainless and aluminum requires reconfiguration on conventional systems. A robotic laser cell handles all three without parameter changes or tool swaps.

FANUC Flexible 3D Tube & Profile Laser Cell

One FANUC cell programs from CAD in under 30 minutes for any tube profile. Handles round, square, rectangular and custom sections. Cuts mild steel, stainless and aluminum — same cell, same shift, no changeover required.

30 min setup on any profile
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"We run 12 different tube profiles across 3 materials on a single shift. The FANUC cell swaps between them in under 30 minutes. Our CNC would have needed a full day for that changeover."

Common Challenges

Bicycle and e-bike frames require complex tube intersections (R-notches, angled cuts). Traditional sawing or milling leaves gaps between tubes, leading to weak welds, high rejection rates, and structural failures.

Modern e-bikes use custom extruded tube profiles (teardrop, oval, D-shape) to house batteries and wiring. Standard 2D tube lasers struggle to grip and accurately cut these irregular shapes at production speeds.

Many fitness equipment and bicycle components require holes or slots to be cut after the tube has been bent. Positioning and cutting accurately on a curved, 3D surface is nearly impossible with conventional machinery.

FANUC 3D Tube & Frame Laser Cell

The FANUC 3D robotic laser cell delivers perfect zero-gap joint fitment for any tube profile. Advanced 3D vision positioning allows for precise hole cutting even on pre-bent tubes. Achieve a 99% welding yield rate and eliminate manual grinding and fit-up adjustments.

Perfect Joints. 99% Welding Yield.
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"The R-notch precision from the FANUC laser completely transformed our welding department. We eliminated the manual grinding station, and our robotic welding yield rate jumped from 85% to over 99%."

Common Challenges

6-metre aluminum extrusions and structural rail sections exceed the standard robot work envelope. Re-fixturing mid-cut introduces cumulative positional error across the full profile length.

Rail car extrusion profiles have complex 3D cross-sections with drainage channels, mounting grooves and curved surfaces — requiring simultaneous 6-axis control to cut correctly at any point.

Transit OEMs produce multiple car variants on the same line. Long setup times between profile variants create scheduling bottlenecks that delay vehicle delivery at every changeover.

7th-Axis FANUC Rail Cell — 6m Reach

FANUC robot mounted on 7th-axis linear track provides continuous 6-metre cutting reach — no re-fixturing, no positional error accumulation. Full 6-axis path control handles any extrusion cross-section. ROBOGUIDE programs swap between variants in under 20 minutes.

6m profile — single uninterrupted pass
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"A 6-metre aluminum extrusion in a single pass with zero fixturing stops. We reduced positional error by 90% compared to our previous break-and-re-fixture approach."

Common Challenges

Weld bevel preparation on 20–30mm structural plate requires a separate beveling machine after plasma or oxy-fuel cutting — two machines, two setups, double handling cost on every component.

Plasma and oxy-fuel cutting of thick structural steel generates a wide heat-affected zone that must be ground out before welding — or risks weld joint failure in fatigue-loaded heavy structures.

Ship hull panels and heavy structural frames require cutting on multiple faces and compound bevel angles. Conventional cutting machines cannot access these positions without time-consuming repositioning.

12kW Fiber Laser — Bevel + Cut in One Pass

CyRobotLaser 12kW fiber laser FANUC cell cuts and bevels 30mm plate in a single pass — no secondary beveling machine required. Clean laser kerf eliminates HAZ grinding before welding. Dual external-axis positioners provide full multi-face access without re-fixturing.

Cut + bevel in one pass — 30mm plate
Case Result
Customer Feedback
"One pass: cut plus 45-degree bevel on 30mm plate. Eliminated our beveling machine entirely and removed the HAZ grinding step. Two fewer operations on every structural frame we produce."
