Walter Ewag UK reports the “best ever EMO” after orders valued at more than Euros 30 million were placed at the show for Walter and Ewag tool grinders/eroders, and Walter tool measurement machines.
The record order intake for more than 100 machines does not include orders taken for the other United Grinding Group brands exhibited.
Included in the host of new developments and machines shown at EMO by Walter was the Helitronic Vision Diamond 400L two-in-one tool grinding and erosion machine – for PCD, carbide, HSS, ceramic, cermet and CBN tools from 3 mm to 315 mm diameter and up to 420 mm long – and the Heliset Plus manual measuring device which can help optimise the erosion (machining) times of complex tools by up to 30 per cent.
Ewag’s display included the new six-axis Ewag Compact Line grinder for grinding (including peripheral grinding) of inserts in tungsten carbide, cermet, ceramic, PCBN and PCD.
