Aerospace
- Machining in the aerospace industry inevitably involves high-tech solutions and innovations. After all, the only way to stand a chance against the competition is to be able to machine newer, highly stable and lightweight – i.e. fuel-saving – materials with ultimate precision and process reliability. Thanks to the Engineering Kompetenz of Walter, you can rest assured that innovative approaches can also be turned into competitive solutions. This is because Walter offers you the most comprehensive range of machining tools for metal and composite materials available anywhere in the world, all from a single source. Flexible machining solutions that set new standards in the industry – for milling, holemaking, threading and turning.
Car & engine
- There will be another 600 million cars on the roads by 2035, taking the world total to around 1.8 billion. The growing number of cars also results in increasing requirements: For materials, electromobility and fuel consumption. Manufacturers and suppliers must redesign their concepts faster and faster in order to keep pace with these shifts. Process optimisation at the component level is just as important to this end as intelligent tool management. As one of the leading manufacturers of precision tools for metal cutting and an expert partner to many automotive suppliers, Walter combines economical tool solutions and reliable service under one roof.
Energy
- Cleaner, more precise and more efficient: The requirements placed on the energy industry are constantly increasing, which in turn poses greater challenges for the manufacturers of systems and components for energy production. New technologies require new tools and machining processes. The same applies to new materials and complex component geometries. "Energy components" are also extremely expensive due to their often enormous size and long machining times, while they frequently call for complex special solutions. Walter tool solutions are synonymous with maximum precision and process reliability. Turning, holemaking, milling or threading – even, or especially, in the energy industry. Benefit from our Engineering Kompetenz.
Lightweight construction materials
-
Lightweight construction materials offer virtually endless potential: From automotive construction to general mechanical engineering through to the aerospace sector. They save weight, fuel and energy. As versatile as these lightweight materials are, machining them can be a very complex task. That makes it all the more important to have a partner at your side on whom you can count for any challenge
Partnership in lightweight construction machining has a name – Walter FMT
With Walter FMT, we are expanding our expertise in machining lightweight construction materials made from aluminium with a range of tailor-made tools and services – reliable, customer-oriented and competent.
Special solutions
- In our "Industry Solutions" department, we test the use of customised special tools in conjunction with optimised production processes. If it is worthwhile to use special tools in your production process, we will develop a component-specific machining concept for you, which will provide measurable increases in productivity within an incredibly short time frame. You can put your trust in Walter's Engineering Kompetenz when it comes to industry-specific technologies too, such as interpolation turning. We work together with you to come up with solutions that are perfectly tailored to your applications and requirements.

With our competence brands Walter, Walter Titex and Walter Prototyp, we are able to develop special tools of all kinds. We are the people to speak to when you need specific tools for specific machining tasks.
Milling
- Machining very large cast parts such as turbine housings
is a real challenge. Highly fluctuating profile measurements, major
differences in diameter or considerable imbalances are just a few of the
parameters which demonstrate that Walter special tools are the right tools
for the job.
We develop special side and face mills for our customers, with diameters of over 2 metres. The uniqueness of the machining task is matched by the uniqueness of the special tool. For example, the degree of accuracy required for the profiles of the turbine blades and turbine shafts used in steam turbines is extremely high. We will provide you with insert finishing end mills for finishing blade roots and attachment grooves in turbine shafts: with these mills, you will be able to achieve a degree of profile accuracy of +/- 0.01 mm. The Walter Prototyp ConeFit™ system is one of the most successful modular tooling systems for milling.
Turning
- Limited resources, growth and innovation in mechanical
engineering constantly present cutting tool manufacturing and Turning with
new challenges. In particular, interrupted cuts, precision moulds, different
materials and thin-walled components require specific cutting materials,
particular geometries and tailored machining strategies and processes.
We would like to give our customers an advantage in day-to-day competition: to do this, we opt for solutions such as specific combination tools for turning, which improve both quality and cost-effectiveness. In addition, tailored machining processes and combination tools with multiple cutting edges save on tool changing and minimise chip to chip time.
As a user, this means that, as a result of optimally adapted processes and tools, you reduce unit costs, decrease processing time and, because of the saving on tool spaces you now have on your turning centre, you can insert complementary tools.
Holemaking
- Drilling solutions from the Walter and Walter Titex
competence brands take machining to a new level of productivity in hole
machining. With these tools, Walter's customers lower their unit costs and
boost their competitiveness.
The Walter Xpress Service can also develop complex special solutions within an incredibly short time for customised orders.
Threading
- The direct and most reliable route to creating a
cost-effective machining concept often involves the use of a special tool;
this is also true for the production of threads. Our experts develop
customised, cost-effective special tools for threading in all metal
materials.
Our Walter Prototyp thread former is used for non-cutting thread production without birdnesting nor chip-related problems. We also develop and design for specific thread types, depending on customer requirements.
Walter Xpress
- Using special tools, you can combine more than one machining step in just one tool.
Do you have a particular machining task? Even before you start work, Walter will determine an approach to the solution that will optimise your process.
For example, where you previously needed a solid drill and chamfering tool, you can now work much more efficiently by carrying out both operations using a single tool that combines both machining operations. The benefit for you: Your process becomes significantly more streamlined.
More integrated operations means more efficiency
Performing more than one operation with one tool – that is the logical conclusion of our all-encompassing understanding of how processes work. Our objective is to organise your processes in a way that is demonstrably more efficient.
