Available from Walter Ewag UK, a member of the United Grinding Group, for all ‘two-in-one’ Walter Helitronic Power Diamond and Diamond Evolution tool grinding and erosion machines, the new Tool Studio Erosion Wizard-enabled software provides users with a quick and easy route to the selection and real-time simulation of PCD drill, mill and reamer production, and incorporates both grinding and eroding operations
After selecting tool size and geometry, then grinding wheel and electrode ‘package’, the system offers a simulation mode where parameters can be quickly and easily changed before tool production starts. The functionality also includes automatic collision control, and geometry and parameter selection for individual teeth.
The new software complements similar Tool Studio functionality for the wide range of tooling that can be produced/reground on the Walter range of Helitronic tool grinders. This ‘What you see is what you grind’ system has, in effect, now been expanded and enhanced to a ‘What you can grind, you can also erode’ package.
