Walter-Ewag releases entry-level Laser Line Precision

Walter Ewag’s Laser Line Precision has been designed as a cost-effective and accurate entry-level machine for processing all commercially available diamond cutting materials, including CBN, PKD and CVC-D.

The machine can accommodate rotationally symmetrical tools of up to 200 mm diameter and up to 250 mm long, as well as indexable inserts with inscribed diameters from 3 mm and circumscribed diameters up to 50 mm.

Laser Line Precision uses modern short-pulse fibre laser technology in the green wavelength range (532 nm), with the resulting flue gas and vapourised material being suctioned away to a filter system. Incorporating the patented ‘Laser Touch Machining’ process, the result is excellent surface quality, says the company, even on tools with complex or delicate geometries. Indeed, any type of cutting contour, clearance and 3D chipbreaker geometry machining can be produced in a single clamping operation. As an option, a 6-axis robot to support automated operation can also be supplied.
