The rolling process has been refined and improved over the past several decades and today there are technological marvels worldwide. However, regardless of all the wonderous technologies such as high-speed rolling equipment, artificial technology and digital twins, rolling mills must regularly trim and sample the finished coiled products, and in almost all cases, this is a 100% manual operation. To address this, AIC has developed a fully autonomous trimming and sampling robot, the TrimBot. TrimBot is a trimming and sampling system that can operate within any existing vertical or horizontal coil handling system while offering perfect results and accuracy on every coil.
