🪨 ⚡Loop Technology’s RoboMACH provides highly accurate robotic machining, offering a cost-effective alternative to a large capacity machine tool, but with much greater flexibility in the working envelope and versatility in applications.

🏗️ It is a compelling choice for customers looking to automate their machining processes, including for large and complex components. RoboMACH is available in different configurations and robot selections, delivering highly accurate automated cutting, trimming, milling, drilling, grinding and ultrasonic machining operations to the workpiece.

🛩️ Applications include shaping and refining cured carbon fibre aerospace and automotive panels, as well as wood structures such as beams or frames, plastic components, engineering foam and aluminum sheets.

💻 RoboMACH ikCAM incorporates Loop Technology’s proprietary software solution, to bring our customers up to 10 x increased precision compared to a standard robotic system, through as built kinematic correction.

🎯 Traditionally, to achieve this level of accuracy would require substantial investment, but ikCAM provides the same level of precision for a fraction of the price. It is controller agnostic and can be retrofitted to an existing machining cell.

🗼Loop Technology had an exhilarating time at JEC Composites 2026, earlier this year!

✅ We thoroughly enjoyed this global composites event that takes in Paris. It was rewarding to demonstrate our FibreFORM system on the stand, a cutting-edge pick and place end effector for ultra high rate layup of composite plies, as well as Bravura, a system that brings robotics into confined space.

👏 We met a huge range of fellow composites and automation professionals in the process and are grateful to the entire JEC team for putting on such a spectacular event as well as our partners in Zünd Systemtechnik AG.

📩 If you came to the Loop Technology Booth and would like to continue the discussion with a member of our Sales team, feel free to reach out via [email protected]

👨‍💻 We sat down with Senior Software Engineer, Timothy Threadgold, to find out about his career journey, his experience working at Loop Technology for the last 8 years and what it has been like moving to Sheffield and working in our new facility there.

👥 This fascinating discussion includes how his interest in robotics started at a young age, technical insight into the programming languages and vision software packages he works with such as C #, .Net, Cognex, Halcon and custom OpenCV, as well as the collaborative nature of the work he does at Loop Technology.

🏢 The interview also touches on what it is like being based at Loop Technology Sheffield on the Advanced Manufacturing Park and being so close to the The University of Sheffield AMRC, the thrill of working with the largest industrial robots in the United Kingdom and how the team is particularly adept at integrating disparate technology into speaking one coherent language and delivering machines that operate at their maximum capacity.

🤖 At Loop Technology, we specialise in innovative and flexible robotic machining solutions that deliver exceptional precision for a range of large and complex structures.

🎯 Our systems provide automated surface machining, trimming, drilling and milling. These processes are applicable to carbon fibre panels and cured composite structures, sand cast mouldings, wood structures, plastic components, aluminium sheets, engineering foam and more.

2️⃣ We offer two distinct high-accuracy solutions:

✅ RoboMACH HA – our dedicated high accuracy robotic machining platform, integrated as standard with the high precision FANUC M-800iA/60, providing superior path accuracy, especially suited to harder materials such as cured composites.

✅ ikCAM technology – our proprietary, controller-agnostic kinematic correction solution, which delivers up to a tenfold increase in machining precision through “as-built” correction and can be applied to new or existing robotic systems.

🏭 Compared with traditional large CNC machines, Loop Technology robotic solutions provide a significantly more flexible machining envelope, enabling the processing of an extremely wide range of sizes and shapes. They offer substantially lower capital investment, rapid reconfiguration for high-mix production, and greater scalability across batch sizes — from low to high volumes — without the constraints of conventional fixed-bed machine tools.

🔎 For further details and real-world examples, you can read our latest article here: https://looptechnology.com/robotic-machining-with-high-accuracy-from-loop-technology/

📩 If you are exploring robotic machining options for precision work on large or intricate components, we would be pleased to discuss your specific application requirements. 📞

🤖 At Loop Technology, we specialise in developing innovative robotics and automation systems that deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, safety, and sustainability across industry sectors.

👷‍♂️ A compelling example is our contribution to the Distributed Automated Cutting System (DACS) project, led by Eurovia UK in partnership with the The University of Sheffield AMRC. For over 70 years, the manual on-site cutting of bespoke paving slabs — required to fit around street furniture, kerbs, lamp posts, drain covers, and other urban obstructions — has remained largely unchanged. This traditional process that generates high noise levels, carcinogenic silica dust and wastewater, poses significant safety risks to workers, causes substantial public disruption through road and footway closures, and results in approximately 10% material waste.

💻 Leveraging our expertise in metrology, advanced manufacturing software, and robotic machining, we helped develop the IntelliPave solution. The system combines portable tablet-based 3D scanning of the paving area, intelligent software for pattern analysis and material optimisation, and precise off-site robotic machining. Custom slabs are produced off-site and delivered ready for installation alongside the standard slabs, enabling minimal on-site disruption.

❓The projected benefits of this automated approach include:

✅ A 40–50% improvement in productivity
✅ Reduction in material waste from 10% to approximately 3%, saving around 16 lorry loads per typical contract
✅ Complete elimination of on-site noise, dust, and associated hazards
✅Reduction in project disruption by nearly one month for a typical year-long paving scheme

🏭 These outcomes enhance worker safety, reduce environmental impact, and support more sustainable urban regeneration.

💫 The recently established Loop Construction Technology, part of the Loop Group, builds upon 28 years of specialised experience in robotics and automation. Projects such as this demonstrate how we deliver advanced manufacturing systems into the UK construction industry.

⚡ LoopCLEAN Auto is no code robotic laser cleaning.

💻 Using Loop Technology's RealPATH solution, the system scans the part to be cleaned and generates precise robotic programs automatically. Capturing real-world surface contours via point cloud topology, it creates optimized robot paths, incorporating advanced algorithms for singularity avoidance, collision detection, and reach analysis.

👷‍♂️ This “no-code” approach eliminates the need for CAD models, manual offline programming, or complex reverse engineering. The result is a seamless, automated laser cleaning process that follows complex geometries with a new level of speed and efficiency.
