Robotic Cutting

MaxLiner’s small diameter robotic cutting solutions — powered by Dancutter systems — are designed for precision cutting, grinding, and milling inside pipelines.

These systems are primarily used to reopen lateral connections after CIPP lining, remove intrusions like concrete or roots, and clear obstructions without excavation, delivering accurate, controlled results even through bends and complex pipe geometries. With features like integrated cameras, 360° rotation, and high flexibility, they allow operators to perform reinstatement and cleaning tasks quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption.
