Creating Tool Performance A member of the UNITED GRINDING Group MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE For WALTER HELICHECK CNC tool measuring machines Grinding Eroding Laser Measuring Software Customer Case Walter Maschinenbau GmbH WALTER has produced tool grinding machines since 1953. With the introduction to the market of the HELITRONIC series for the complete machining of rotationally symmetrical tools, WALTER became the leader of the world market. Today, our product range is supplemented by fully automated CNC measuring machines in the HELICHECK series for contact- less complete measurement of tools and production parts. Walter Maschinenbau GmbH is part of the UNITED GRINDING Group within Körber AG which has significant financial strength and well-tested processes. Together with our sister company, Ewag AG, we consider ourselves to be a supplier of systems and solutions for the complete machining of tools and can offer a wide range of products, including grinding, rotary eroding, laser machining, measurement, and software. Our customer focus and our global sales and service network of company- owned locations and employees have been appreciated by our customers for decades.

From now on, you can forget mechanical Automatic positioning of the tool tip. Automatic detection of the tool shape based on movements of axes and operator-induced the coordinates. deviations when measuring tools and detecting profiles. Precise measurement results prevent rejects, and you can set or readjust your grinding machines perfectly. The ease of operation means that no cost-intensive training courses are required, and you can assign your employees flexibly. Benefit from cost savings due to rapid and reliable measurement.
