USED 2019 WALTER HELICHECK PRO

Walter HELICHECK PRO Fully Automated High Precision CNC Measuring and Inspection (2019)

The Walter HELICHECK PRO is a fully automated, 3-axis CNC optical measuring machine engineered for the complete, non-contact inspection of complex, rotationally symmetrical cutting tools and workpieces. Built on a massive, vibration-damping granite base, it utilizes a protected stationary camera system to achieve certified micron-level accuracy. It functions as a primary quality assurance asset in modern tool production, regrinding, and automated smart factories.

Core Capabilities & Features

• Automated Parameter Checking: Fully automated measurement profiles capture tool diameter, rake angle, clearance angles, core diameter, pitch, spiral angle, chamfer width, and dish angle in a single setup.
• 3D Sensor Option: An optional 3D scanning sensor generates point-cloud models directly on the machine, enabling CAD/CAM geometry comparisons, surface flatness/parallelism analysis, and reverse engineering.
• Integrated Robot Loading: Supports automated batch inspections and lights-out manufacturing when configured with an external robotic loader.
• Pre-Inspection Stations: Robotic automation setups often integrate ultrasonic cleaning and high-pressure air drying to remove oil and debris before the tool enters the measurement enclosure.
• In-Line Laser Marking: Process data can be dynamically etched onto the tool shank immediately after inspection via integrated laser units.
• C.O.R.E. Operating System: Modern units feature United Grinding's integrated hardware and software architecture for streamlined touch operation and connectivity.
