Loading system offers reduced tool-loading time

United Grinding has released a new automated loading system for use with its Walter Helitronic Mini Power, Helitronic Diamond Evolution, and Helitronic Essential machines.

 The Walter Top Loader is a space-saving automation system that enhances overall productivity by reducing the tool-loading time during grinding operations. Tool changeover takes 27 seconds.

 Equipped with a swiveling arm with a single gripper, this system uses two standard Walter robot pallets: one for blanks and one for finished tools. Setup of the tool pallets is completed automatically through a patent-pending electrical teaching routing, and depending on the tool diameter, these pallets can be loaded with up to 500 tools.

 Because the loader is integrated into the machines, no additional floor space is required. Furthermore, the loading system’s integrated design does not restrict the working envelope of the machine.
