Why Robotic Machining?
Flexibility. We’ve built hundreds of robotic milling/ trimming/ sculpting systems, but it’s rare for us to build two systems that are identical. Why? We don’t have two identical customers. Every one of our customers has vastly different needs. Using a robot as a machining platform allows us have unlimited freedom in terms of how our systems are configured.
It’s very common for us to revisit a system configuration years after it was deployed. We’re able to adapt to the ever-changing environments our customers are facing. Visit our News page to see what we mean.
Size. Our S/M/L systems have reaches of 4’/8’/10’ respectively. Our RMC10 is a perfect solution for our customers doing smaller components. Many of these customers find that it’s relatively easy to move this “robot-in-a-box to another location in their facility.
Just like Goldilocks, many of our customers find our medium-sized platform, the RMC50, to be “just right”, offering the ideal blend of size and rigidity.
Working with extremely large pieces? We can add a linear rail to our RMC120 that extends the reach of the robotic arm. We have customers who are using a 60 foot rail! We can also be nimble and upsize the spindle to be able to perform heavier machining.
Price. Buying an off-the-shelf 5-axis machine can easily carry a cost factor of 2-3X the price of our base systems. Using a robot to perform machining tasks provides a much more cost-effective solution, allowing our customers to see a faster ROI, especially when you factor customization into the equation.
Evolution. Approximately 75% of our customers are already doing some sort of CNC machining. For these companies, performing machining tasks with a robot feels “natural”. Our background is in CNC machining, with an emphasis on CAD/ CAM technologies. Most of our customers can continue using a CAM system they’re already familiar with, thus shortening the amount of time it takes to become operational. We didn’t reinvent the wheel when we designed our systems, we just gave the wheel some fantastic super powers!
Simplicity. For those of you who have had little to no previous experience with CNC, we’ve designed our systems with you in mind. Because we’re also experts in CAD/CAM, we’re able to guide you towards a system that doesn’t require a PhD to operate. Our customers are shocked when we tell them they’ll only need a day of operational training!
Robotic Machining Application Types
Foam, Clay, Ice Sculpting and Carving
Bring your vision to life. Scalable systems that allow you to tackle much larger projects.

Wood Applications
Our systems excel at some niche applications including curved stairways, custom millwork, log home building, Mass Timber fabrication.
Robotic Trimming
Maybe you’ve never even considered the use of a robot for Trim operations. Learn about increased flexibility and productivity.
Plasma/ Waterjet Cutting
2D, 3D, 5-axis cutting, by integrating external axis to boost efficiency.
Testimonials
“Robotic Solutions and the people there are the pinnacle of CNC automation. They offer seamless integration and training for their solution, and possibly have the best customer service across any field I have ever had the privilege of working with. I personally had no experience in the robotics field prior to using an RSI robot, and within weeks of working with them I was running a large 6 axis robot adding an entirely new level of work to our company manufacturing process.
Our robot has allowed us to take work we would never have stepped near prior. The addition of our foam milling robotic arm has helped us grow our footprint and presence in our existing field and allowed us to enter new ones. I cannot say enough good things about this company and the product they offer and passionately support.”
Jake F, Industrial Artist, Marketing company
“Tom Bentley is a pioneer in robotic foam milling. I sincerely recommend RSI to anyone looking to add 7 axis CNC milling to their production. The versatility of a KUKA based milling solution is unparalleled. The way they have incorporated Hotwire to the automation of foam sculptures and props is a massive efficiency upgrade. I chose RSI as a vendor many years ago and continue to work with them now. A family business helping to keep America’s manufacturing capacity growing. Highly recommend.”
