WALTER now offers a completely new type of loading system for new machines of the types HELITRONIC MINI POWER, HELITRONIC DIAMOND EVOLUTION and HELITRONIC ESSENTIAL.. The new space-saving and cost-effective automation solution “Top loader” is integrated directly into the machine – therefore requiring no additional floor space and no restriction of the working envelope of the machine.
The “Top loader” is equipped with a swivelling arm with a single gripper and uses the standard WALTER robot pallets – one for the blanks and one for finished tools. Depending on the tool diameter, these pallets can be loaded with up to 500 tools. A tool change takes only 27 seconds. The set-up of the tool pallets is completed automatically through an electrical teaching routine (patent pending) for ease of use and simplicity of changeover.
