CNC system upgrade for Walter Helitronic tool grinders

CNC system functionality on all modern Walter Helitronic tool grinding/erosion machines can now be cost-effectively upgraded to achieve up to 60% reductions in program calculation times, depending on the complexity of the tools being processed.

Based on the use of high-specification processers, the upgrades can be further enhanced with the additional specifically developed Performance Boost software. Applicable to Helitronic machines with Fanuc and HMC control systems up to around 20 years old, Walter’s Performance Package service also dovetails with the benefits of the latest Tool Studio 3 software.

Tool Studio contains a host of grinding/erosion and probing routines, as well as wizard technology, for productive tool manufacture and regrinding.
