WALTER has strengthened its tool grinding portfolio with the HELITRONIC MINI PLUS, a highly flexible solution designed for the production and resharpening of tools in the small and medium diameter range. Engineered for individual configurability, the machine can be deployed as a cost-effective entry-level system or expanded into a fully automated high-end solution, depending on customer requirements.
At the core of the HELITRONIC MINI PLUS is WALTER’s modern CORE architecture, delivering intuitive operation, simplified networking, and seamless integration into digital production environments. A wide range of optional features further enhance productivity, including an automatic grinding wheel changer and an optional torque boost that can increase material removal rates by up to 60 percent.
The machine also offers exceptional flexibility in automation. Customers can opt for a compact top loader integrated directly into the work area, capable of handling up to 500 tools, or a high-capacity robot loader designed for volumes of up to 7,500 tools—making the system suitable for both batch production and high-volume manufacturing.
Completing the solution is the globally proven HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO, which enables simple and reliable programming of even complex tool geometries. Together, these capabilities make the HELITRONIC MINI PLUS a powerful, future-ready grinding solution for precision tool manufacturers.
