Advanced Robotic Technology (A.R.T) came from humble beginnings to become what it is now-an international supplier of quality and state of the art Router and Plasma CNC profile machines. A.R.T came into existence in April of 1998 under the house of one of the directors. This is a far cry from what it is now; employing 30 people A.R.T is developing machines with up-to-the-minute cutting technology locally and internationally. Having to move to larger purpose built premises to handle the increased workload, A.R.T had one of its first 20 metre Routers in production before the roof was on. It is this dedication to efficient production customer satisfaction that has kept A.R.T at the top of its game. A.R.T is a world leader in CNC technology today. A.R.T's machines have enabled manufacturers to make huge increases in their productivity. Manufactures ranging from ship and boat builders, cabinet makers, sheet metal workers, steel fabrication, plastic engineering as well as others, have been able to benefit from these products.

What sets A.R.T machinery apart? A.R.T prides itself in producing highly sophisticated control systems that are able to perform the most complex tasks, while keeping the user controls as simple as possible. All basic functions can be accessed through a remote control styled pendant. The operator has to simply follow three basic steps and he can be producing product almost instantly. As his skills increase, he is able to access more complex functions through the intuitive touch screen interface. A multilevel password system allows the administrator to control which functions an operator is able to access.

Because A.R.T deals directly with the customer, we're able to maintain constant communication with the end user. Customer feedback is one of the vital links that keep A.R.T in front of the crowd. Many of the features that are included in our current line of machinery have origins dating back to customer suggestions.

Another aspect of A.R.T philosophy is open architecture. Operators are able to take designs from all popular cad programs, including trade specific software such as cabinet making programs, sheet metal and ducting packages and ship designing software. These drawings can be quickly and accurately converted to cutting programs using extremely advanced optimization software.

Over the last several years, A.R.T has been producing extremely large scale profile cutting machines able to process aluminium up to 20m long by 2.8m wide by 50mm in thickness. This has been of major interest to the ship building industry because many modern craft are now constructed from aluminium. Every component of the ship is designed on a cad system down to alignment marks, part numbers, rebates and fold lines. The A.R.T profile Cutter (tangential ink head) is able to produce finished components directly from sheet or plate material allowing fabricators to assemble the ship like a giant jigsaw puzzle. All edges are clean and ready for welding.

The cabinet making industry has also benefited from A.R.T's experience. Nested based manufacturing, also known as NBM is sweeping the industry. Using NBM, the operator can load a sheet of material on to the profile cutter and after a couple of minutes remove finished panels ready for edge banding. ART nested based routers have rapid automatic tool changing, multi drill heads, automatic vacuum zone selection for rapid cell cycle work, and integrated dust extraction systems.
