About wbt automation
wbt automation is a manufacturer specialising in robotics and automation technology, headquartered in Gosheim, Baden-Württemberg. The company develops and manufactures flexible automation solutions based on a modular kit system, in particular mobile robot cells with cobots and industrial robots as well as fixed robot cells for connection to CNC machine tools. The portfolio includes the MRC flexworker, MRC flextray, RC flextray XL, MRC flextower and RC flextower systems, the vise handling system RC flexVise and the automated blasting and matting system RC flexblast for applications such as medical technology. The solutions are aimed at companies in CNC manufacturing, mechanical engineering and the manufacturing industry that want to address skilled labour shortages, reduce production costs and increase spindle hours. The load capacities of the robots used range from 5 kg to 35 kg depending on the system; the cells cover lot sizes from small order quantities through to series production.
