With the launch of its new website, Walter has provided a new virtual tool titled Product Code Search, an online search function for Walter tools which uses the name or order number of the tools as the search criteria.
Users planning machining tasks can call up all of the available tool drawings and 3D models (simulation data) for a tool using the website www.walter-tools.com. Searches can be conducted by entering the name of the tool, which is found either in the catalog, on the packaging label or on the order documents. They can also enter the 7-digit order number found on the packaging label. The drawings can then be transferred to CAD programs where the 3D models are used to simulate the machining process or to program the machine.
The new Product Code Search tool is available worldwide in nine languages. Users who work with STEP models can also use it to save time and money. It also makes tool management more efficient.
"Our customers can now make tool management more efficient by putting together tool documentation by themselves very easily," explains Werner Strobel, Product Manager for Turning at Walter. "The new Product Code Search provides them not only with data, but also allows them to order tools immediately online."
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
The RM5 stainless steel roughing geometry from Walter USA LLC features guided twin-channel coolant targeted at the chip. This provides maximum cooling and enhanced tool life for machining ISO M stainless steels and ISO S high-temperature alloys, according to the company.
The aim of the Perform drill line is to offer customers the same outstanding Walter quality they have come to expect, but without having to pay for a level of performance that offers them no benefits at all. The DC150 Perform affords significant advantages primarily where users need to machine…
The new M2131 Sky·tec Ramping Cutter from Walter reportedly brings new, higher levels of process reliability to the machining of nonferrous metals such as the aluminum wrought alloys or aluminum lithium alloys often used in aircraft structural components. The cutter allows shorter machining time…
Walter says its double-sided ISO indexable inserts with RP7 geometry provide maximum process reliability in rough turning by combining a ground contact surface with an optimized profile that has a tailored protective chamfer to guard against fracturing. The RP7 benefits from a new design that…
Walter has announced the addition of the M4256, M4257 and M4258 high-performance helical milling cutters to its M4000 family. The M4000 program offers the advantages of a system insert concept that allows one insert style to be used in a variety of tools, permitting a wide array of milling…
The WDN10 from Walter, a high-performance and wear-resistant polycrystalline diamond (PCD) insert delivers outstanding hardness, a low coefficient of friction and minimum heat distortion. This helps result in maximum productivity and cost efficiency in the high-speed machining of nonferrous…
Walter has introduced the Walter BLAXX M3016, a heavy-duty milling cutter with the ruggedness and power needed to make heavy cuts seem easy. The M3016 tackles ISO material groups P, M and K, and difficult applications such as machining frames made from cast iron for large molds, or housings for…
Walter has introduced the Tiger·tec Silver grade WSM45X, creating an indexable inserts with high-temperature resistance, improved wear resistance, outstanding toughness, and exceptional hardness. These key features of inserts in the new Tiger·tec Silver grade WSM45X can boost performance by up to…
What if your tools could talk to you, providing you with timely information about their status and the conditions they were encountering, as well as tips that enhance your specific application? With Walter’s new wear-optimization app, they can.
Walter has introduced the Walter Titex DB133 Supreme, a solid-carbide microdrill that reportedly delivers tight tolerances, high-quality surface finishes, superior process reliability and longer tool life. The difference for the DB133 Supreme begins with the use of grades WJ30EL and WJ30ER,…
