Technology Overview
PushCorp's robotic, weld-removal technology is the most efficient way possible to completely remove welds in a single pass. These heavy-duty cutting tools are able to remove typical steel welds (up to 3 inches in width) quickly and efficiently at rates up to 3 inch3/minute. Aluminum and other non-ferrous welds can be removed three times faster than that! Weld shavers work by having a motor-driven machine tool slot cutter mounted between two stand-off guide wheels. The robotic, weld-removal equipment mounts directly to one of our force compliant tools. The compliant tool pushes the weld shaver against the part surface with a controlled amount of force so that the guide wheels straddle the weld. The guide wheels can be manually or remotely adjusted to set the cutter height to machine the weld away — above, below or flush to the parent material surface. PushCorp is a leading manufacturer of End-of-Arm Tools for material-removal applications.
