Flexible planning for the diverse taks of robot production plants – today and tomorrow

Save time and money through the adaptability, flexibility and compatibility of our tool changing systems – benefit from our global experience in the automotive industry!

Robot-controlled manufacturing processes, such as those used in the body shop production of the automotive industry, have changed considerably in recent years. Line production, in which each robot had a specific task, has evolved into flexible cell production. Various assembly technologies and handling applications are performed by only one robot.
To make this possible, tool changers from WALTHER-PRÄZISION are the first choice for global automobile manufacturers. Also foundries, beverage producers, brickworks, tire manufacturers and many other industrial companies with demanding production environment prefer WALTHER systems to make their own production more flexible, cost-effective and efficient.
