Whether for tool production or regrinding – as a cost-effective ‘basic’ machine or as a fully automated model – the new Walter Helitronic Mini Plus tool grinder can satisfy any need for the effective and efficient production of tools from 1 to 16 mm diameter, machining even complex geometries in a single clamping. Re-grinding capacity is up to 125 mm diameter.

Available from Walter Ewag UK, the basic machine version is configurable with a wide range of efficiency options and various loading systems, extending to a fully-equipped ‘high-end’ tool grinder capable of all current and future applications in the small and medium tool diameter range.

The basis for the flexibility of the Helitronic Mini Plus is Walter’s proprietary gantry design, where the economical production of geometries in a single set-up is guaranteed by a HSK belt spindle with two spindle ends for up to six grinding wheels (as standard). In addition, the C.O.R.E. (Customer-Oriented REvolution) hardware and software architecture embraces the digital age by offering intuitive operation that facilitates machine set-up, operation, networking and maintenance.

Options available for the machine include an automatic grinding wheel changer for up to six wheel holders (maximum diameter 152.4 mm), including coolant supply, to ensure a safe wheel set change and maximum flexibility. In addition, for machines so equipped, a ‘torque increase’ option raises torque and removal rates by up to 60% for extra productivity.

For automated use, users can choose a top loader or robot loader, with three equipment packages.
