Grinding Machines Get Redesigned

April 16, 2018
The WALTER grinding machines now offer 35% more space along with a the ability to grin tools up to 380 mm.

The redesigned WALTER HELITRONIC POWER 400 grinding machine and the HELITRONIC POWER DIAMOND 400 grinding and eroding machines offer 35% more workpiece space with the capability to grind tools up to 380 mm in length. They also feature remodeled machine beds with enhanced rigidity for greater vibration dampening for improved part surface finishes and to ensure greater precision. A new worm drive for the C axis, optional torque motor and pneumatically driven steadyrests and tailstocks from the HELITRONIC VISION series all serve to further improve grinding and eroding operations by reducing leaks and improving heat management for greater cleanliness.

 

Unlike previous models, the HELITRONIC POWER 400 and HELITRONIC POWER DIAMOND 400 can accommodate gantry-style loaders for up to 500 tools or robot loaders for up to 7,500 tools. Another previous HELITRONIC VISION exclusive, WALTER’s Robot Loader 25, is now available for the redesigned models as an automation solution for tools weighing more than 25 kg.

 

Like all WALTER’s Two-In-One machines, the new HELITRONIC POWER DIAMOND 400 utilizes Fine Pulse Technology. Likewise, both machines utilize the HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO grinding and eroding software.
