With “FINE PULSE TECHNOLOGY” WALTER introduces a new eroding concept that sets new standards in terms of surface and cutting edge quality and consequently the process reliability of PCD tools. Launched in October 2016, this new eroding concept will be installed as standard in all WALTER erosion machines.
For some time now we at WALTER have been constantly developing the existing eroding concept to meet the increasing demands made on PCD tools in terms of quality & service life, as well as price & production time. In particular, the generator has been recognised as a central element with potential and has therefore been completely redesigned. Improvements in eroding software and a variety of other factors based on the machine design were also optimised as part of the “FINE PULSE TECHNOLOGY” concept.
With super-fine finishing, an even more perfect surface quality and cutting edge can now be generated on a PCD tool – and with the same processing time as before. The difference to the other tools on the market can even be seen with the naked eye on the most common PCD types with 10 µm grain size. A tool produced with “FINE PULSE TECHNOLOGY” on a WALTER eroding machine shines on its free surface, similar to a polished (ground) tool. Even coarse-grained PCD types can now be fine finished with the new “FINE PULSE TECHNOLOGY” and a perfect surface quality can be produced. In some cases even entire steps in the production chain can now be omitted because the eroded tools no longer have to be re-sharpened or polished.
