The reliability of the user-friendly wear-optimisation app – which works on all mobile devices in addition to Windows PCs and is also available via the Walter website for online use – is based on the use of zoom functionality for each form of wear, highlighting problem areas both graphically and with high-quality photos.
For each wear template, the user is provided with a description of the conditions under which the relevant wear type occurs and how it can be prevented or reduced.
The app provides recommendations such as ‘use a more wear-resistant cutting tool material’, ‘reduce the feed’, ‘reduce the cutting speed’, ‘increase the coolant pressure’ and ‘check the orientation’. Integrated e-mail functionality can also be used to provide direct feedback to Walter’s App developers.
