Helicheck 3D Measuring Machine

With the new Helicheck 3D machine, Walter, a member of the United Grinding Group, introduces a CNC measuring machine for the complete digitization of tools and production parts, resulting in a 3D model that can be saved, processed, analyzed and measured.

With a new method, tools can be scanned and digitized quickly and easily, according to the company. Vertical, horizontal and freely selectable cutting planes at any position can be laid on the 3D model with the 3D Tool Analyzer software developed for this application. These are then automatically analyzed and the corresponding parameters are available for the user. Because measurements are carried out on the virtual model, this can also be done offline on a separate workstation.

To complement the Helicheck 3D machine, Walter also introduced a new software 3D matcher, which makes it possible to perform a color-coded comparison of two 3D models within the proven graphical user interface. After the "match" of both models, the operator gets an instant evaluation of the quality of the products and any deviations from the desired values.
