Walter launches automation service to deliver robotic systems to metalworking businesses

Walter Surface Technologies, Windsor, Conn., a member of the A3 – Association for Advancing Automation, has partnered with a large network of North American system integrators and end-of-arm tool manufacturers that specialize in robotic systems and material removal operations to craft a fast and thorough automatization process for industrial manufacturers.

The process comprises a readiness assessment, the evaluation of requirements and objectives, the selection of the right technology, and the design of the new system, as well as its testing and integration, performance review, training, and ongoing maintenance.

The partnerships with PushCorp, ATI Automation, and Effecto (formerly Applied Robotics) enable Walter to better support end users from the quoting and conceptualization stage to installation and optimization of the system.

Walter’s abrasives, tooling, and antispatter products can be adapted and tailored to a variety of robotic applications that include heavy grinding, deburring, drilling, and finishing on carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other materials.
