Walter Ewag UK (www.ewag.com) has reported its “best-ever EMO”, after orders worth more than 30 million euros were placed at the show for its tool grinders, eroders and tool measurement machines.

Furthermore, the record order intake for more than 100 machines does not include orders taken for the other United Grinding Group brands exhibited.

Among the host of new developments and machines on the Walter Ewag stand were the Helitronic Vision Diamond 400L two-in-one tool grinding and erosion machine — for PCD, carbide, HSS, ceramic, cermet and CBN tools from 3mm to 315mm in diameter and up to 420mm long — and the Heliset Plus manual measuring device, which can help to ‘optimise’ the machining times of complex tools by up to 30%.

The display also included the new six-axis Ewag Compact Line machine for grinding inserts in tungsten carbide, cermet, ceramic, PCBN and PCD.
