Walter’s Top Loader loading systemOffering an unrivalled level of cost-effective grinding of tools of up to 125mm diameter, 235mm long and weighing up to 12kg, the new Helitronic G 200 is the latest addition to Walter’s range of tool grinding and erosion machines.
Making its public debut at the
GrindingHub 2022 exhibition, taking place from May 17-20 in Stuttgart, the machine is available in the UK from Warwickshire-based
Walter Ewag UK Ltd. The compact machine occupies a footprint of less than 2.3m
2 and features Walter’s characteristic ergonomic design as well as quality build principles.
With a maximum grinding wheel diameter of 150mm, the Helitronic G 200 features a low-vibration solid mineral cast bed and is of C-frame construction that offers high damping capabilities and temperature stability, resulting in maximum precision in grinding. The X, Y and Z linear axes mirror Walter’s renowned quality standards, and the rotating A and C axes have torque motors for maximised usage with minimal service.
The machine’s flexibility is enhanced with the use of Walter’s Top Loader loading system which obviates extra space requirements — and provides easy access — by being integrated into the working envelope. Suitable for tools of 3 to 16mm diameter, Top Loader can accommodate 500 tools of 3mm diameter, for example, on its Walter-standard robot pallets.
Available with a swivelling, multi-function touch panel having a 21.5in monitor, the Helitronic G 200 also uses Walter’s globally-proven Helitronic Tool Studio grinding software for ease of programming.
