Development of a Pavement Cutting Robot System

A pavement cutting robot system was constructed on a trial basis to automate pavement cutting when a road is to be cut and recovered. The system consists of the robot itself, the control panel, and a cooling water supply and recovery unit. All the units are electrically power driven and a small-size high-frequency motor is used to provide power for the cutter. The results of performance tests have proven that the work can be accomplished safely while ensuring the necessary cutting accuracy.
