Robotic Demolition in Champaign

Champaign robotic demolition equips its teams with robots that can cut and demolish concrete, especially in areas of tight quarters and where air impurity control issues can endanger them.

Hand-held demolition can cause significant injury. The dust from demolition can be inhaled or swallowed causing disabling diseases of the blood vessels, nerves or joints. Hand-held heavy demolition tools cause injuries because they depend on large vibrations to cut or break down concrete.

Demolition robots resemble conventional jack hammers or cutters, except that are mounted on two-ton self-propelled track vehicles that are directed to place and anchor themselves on their internal outriggers at the demolition site. Most robots are small enough to fit standard door frames. Their size makes them ideal for work on road crews as well as interior demolition. They are controlled by radio Bluetooth, or cables by operators at a distance up to several hundred feet away. Most robots operate on high-capacity Lithium-Ion batteries so they are completely exhaust free and pose no chemical danger to the crews.

These robots operate with telescoping arms that can extend the reach of the cutters or hammers to accurately aim at the key demolition points. They are able to travel up inclines, even climb stairs to be positioned where they need to be. They come equipped with buckets, clam-shell buckets, beam grapples, scabblers, planers, hydraulic drills, cut-off saws, and rock splitters. Cameras can be installed on them. Workers can stand away from the noise, and dust. They do not need to handle heavy intensely vibrating machines. The control systems can resemble the cockpits or control systems of manually operated machines, but the worker hand-holds the controls like the controls of radio controlled models or cars.

The machines keep getting better and more powerful as the use of demolition robots matures. The machines are getting more powerful and more compact with every new iteration. The largest demolition robots weigh 11 tons and have a reach of more than 22 feet. These machines can be used in mining and tunneling as well as demolition.

Cobra Concrete Cutting Services has been the leading concrete sawing and drilling company in the Chicago area since for 17 years. The recent expansion into Champaign Robotic Demolition brings the state-of-the-art demolition potential to the central Illinois area of Urbana-Champaign. This expansion gives the company capacity to serve the contractors and developers throughout the state, Western Indiana, and the tri-state area. The company combines its technology in underground and concrete scan imaging with the use of advanced robotics to reduce the risk of injury.
