The reliability of the user-friendly wear-optimisation App – which works on all mobile devices in addition to Windows PCs and is also available via the Walter website for online use – is based on the use of zoom functionality for each form of wear, highlighting problem areas both graphically and with high-quality photos.
For each wear template, the user is provided with a description of the conditions under which the relevant wear type occurs and how it can be prevented or reduced.
The App provides recommendations such as ‘Use a more wear-resistant cutting tool material’, ‘Reduce the feed’, ‘Reduce the cutting speed’, ‘Increase the coolant pressure’ and ‘Check the orientation’. By implementing these recommendations, users will be able to reduce wear and therefore increase tool service life and costs.
Integrated email functionality can be used to provide direct feedback to Walter’s App developers.
