Walter Enables Automatic Detection and Alignment of Tools and Blanks

Walter Enables Automatic Detection and Alignment of Tools and Blanks For correct pre-positioning prior to machining, WALTER now offers a new TOOL VISION SYSTEM for all its tool grinding / eroding machines with robot loader. This Walter Automatic Detection system detects contact free, the orientation of the tool or blank, with e.g. brazed PCD plates on the front, sintered PCD veins or with cooling channels. The detecting is done automatically and during idle time. This means significant timesaving compared to the manual measurement method, eliminates human errors and avoids damage to the tool due to the non-contact method.

The WALTER TOOL VISION SYSTEM is permanently installed in the robot cell and available with two lenses. The one lens for tool diameter from 1.7 mm to 12 mm, the other lens for tool diameter from 6 mm to 32 mm.
