The "Laser Contour Check" (LCC) option offers an intelligent measuring system integrated directly into the WALTER tool grinding and eroding machine for high-precision, non-contact measurement of various tool parameters on cylindrical cutting tools. The laser operation takes place during the process and initiates compensation fully automatically in the HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO in the event of deviations. Optimized program sequences for cleaning and compensation can be programmed and adapted by the operator. With our LCC option, you are ready for unmanned production. You can find more information, including a demonstrative video, here.
The TOOL VISION SYSTEM, which is permanently installed in the robot cell, detects the alignment of the tool or blank without contact, e.g. if it has PCD plates soldered to the face, PCD veins or cooling channels. The detection is automated and takes place in non-productive time. This saves a significant amount of time compared to the manual measuring method, eliminates errors caused by the human factor and avoids damage to the tool due to the non-contact process. The TOOL VISION SYSTEM can be used for tools in the diameter range from 1.7 mm to 32 mm.
Our various software options help you to increase the efficiency of your tool production! For example, you can benefit from shorter grinding times with our Feedrate Optimizer, unmanned control and correction of diameter and core diameter with IMS+ or simple generation of a measuring program from the HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO with the Wheel Data Connector.
