New Solution for Automated Cold Cutting of 3D Complex-Shaped Automotive Interior Parts

The new-generation WINWIN ABB Overhead-Mounted Waterjet Cutting Robot Workstation has completed R&D and commissioning, and is now officially in production. This automated cutting line is built around the ABB 6-axis industrial robot with an industry-leading overhead inverted mounting structure, paired with the WINWIN professional ultra-high pressure waterjet cold cutting system. It provides a fully automated intelligent trimming, hole cutting, grooving, and complex contour cutting integrated solution for 3D complex-shaped automotive interior plastic parts, foam components, headliners, carpets, instrument panels, door panels, and other curved workpieces — completely solving the pain points of manual cutting, including poor accuracy, low efficiency, dust pollution, and unstable yield rates.

I. Core Structural Advantages: ABB Overhead Inverted Layout for Enhanced Performance

This workstation integrates the ABB 6-axis robot in an inverted position inside an enclosed workspace, breaking the spatial limitations of traditional floor-mounted installations. Key advantages include:

✅ Large Flexible Working Envelope for Large Complex Parts

The inverted mounting allows the robot’s working range to fully cover large automotive interior components and complex 3D curved workpieces. Ample load/unload space makes it ideal for door panels, headliners, bumpers, foam seats, and other large-sized complex interior parts.

✅ High Cutting Precision & Interference-Free Machining

The ABB 6-axis robot delivers smooth motion with a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm. The inverted layout enables multi-angle cutting head adjustment, providing no cutting interference or dead zones for deep cavities, undercuts, and complex curved surfaces — enabling precision trimming, hole cutting, chamfering, and contour cutting in one process.

✅ Enclosed Safety Enclosure for Eco-Friendly Production

The system features an enclosed protective structure + dual-side safety fencing, effectively containing water mist and debris. The cutting process is dust-free, emission-free, and high-temperature-free, fully complying with environmental and safety standards for automotive parts workshops. A front visualization window allows real-time monitoring.

✅ Servo-Controlled Worktable for 24/7 Unattended Operation

Equipped with a high-precision servo-driven shuttle worktable, the system supports quick clamping, automatic load/unload, and dual-station alternating processing — enabling continuous unattended production and significantly reducing labor and management costs.

II. Core Process Advantages: Ultra-High Pressure Waterjet Cold Cutting

The workstation is powered by the WINWIN professional ultra-high pressure waterjet intensifier system, using a cold cutting process with irreplaceable advantages:

• No heat, no thermal deformation, no burning of interior plastic/foam materials — preserves original material properties

• Smooth, burr-free, edge-intact cuts — one-step finishing, no secondary sanding required

• Highly compatible with soft interior materials such as foam, plastic, leather, and composites — the optimal cold cutting process for complex automotive interior parts

• Simple offline CNC programming and fast changeover — ideal for small-batch, high-mix production
