Original Abstract Submitted
A method and system for using a remote cutter to make cuts, for example in a pipe liner. An automated cutting path is computed for a cutting tool as a function of shape and position data relating to an opening of the branch conduit into the main pipe. The cutting tool is moved along the computed cutting path to cut the liner for reestablishing fluid communication between a branch conduit extending from a host pipe and the lined main pipe.
