Innovative Tool Changer Enhances Manufacturing Efficiency


Saturday 3 January 2026, 9:01:21 AM


The manufacturing landscape is set for a transformation with the introduction of the ORBIT Tool Changer. Designed to tackle the pressing challenges of limited tool capacity and complex reconfiguration in robotic cells, this innovation promises increased efficiency and reduced downtimes.

The ORBIT Tool Changer allows punches and dies to be effortlessly swapped by operators without the need for specialized skills. This streamlined process eliminates manual operations, ensuring a seamless workflow and quicker response to new production setups.

At the heart of the smart station is a rotary table equipped with four bars, two facing the robot and two facing the operator. These bars can each hold up to two tools, enabling a wider range of tool availability and simplifying the changeover process. As a result, operations can reach a remarkable increase in cell setup efficiency by up to 100%.

The ORBIT Tool Changer’s benefits are manifold. By expanding tool capacity and optimizing processes, manufacturers can experience almost limitless operational capabilities. Additionally, operators with no specialized training can easily conduct punch and die replacements, turning complex reconfigurations into streamlined tasks.

Moreover, the system’s agility allows for rapid job switches, accommodating last-minute order changes and short runs without delay. This adaptability ensures that production can be aligned with customer demand, minimizing constraints and maximizing productivity.

Prima Power, a leader in manufacturing technologies, continues to innovate with solutions like ORBIT, maintaining its commitment to revolutionizing production flow. By integrating advanced technologies, the company supports its clients in overcoming industry challenges.

Manufacturers worldwide are poised to benefit from these advancements, making ORBIT a key tool in elevating production capabilities.
