CNC system upgrades offer performance boost
CNC control system functionality on all modern-day Walter Helitronic tool grinding/erosion machines can now be cost-effectively upgraded to achieve up to 60% reductions in program calculation times, depending on the complexity of the tools being processed.
Based on the use of the latest high-specification processors, the upgrades can be further enhanced with the additional specifically-developed Performance Boost software, according to Walter Ewag UK, a member of the United Grinding Group.
Applicable to Helitronics with Fanuc and HMC control systems of up to around 20 years of age, Walter’s new Performance Package service also dovetails with the benefits of the latest Tool Studio 3 software for the machines.
Tool Studio contains a host of grinding/erosion and probing routines, as well as Wizard technology, for highly-productive tool production and regrinding.
