Routering Robot with Auto Tool Changer


This is a Routering robot we call the RoboRouter. It uses 1hp 18000rpm air motors to spin three tools, a 90degree router bit, a straight router, and a carbide saw blade. The robot also has a rotary table that allows the operator to load new tops and unload finished ones while the robot is operating. This means that the robot is up 100% of the time, as long as the operator can keep up! They cut about 10 different tops on that robot now and probably cut 40 a day (one shift). This robot replaced 3-4 people, 8 hours a day, letting them move those people to less physically demanding jobs.
