HELITRONIC RAPTOR is an ideal entry-level model for efficient grinding and regrinding of rotationally symmetrical tools, while maintaining a compact footprint in production. The machine is developed to provide a good balance between performance, precision and surface efficiency.
The machine can handle tool diameters from 3 to 320 mm, a tool length including End Face Operation of up to 280 mm and a tool weight of up to 50 kg. This makes HELITRONIC RAPTOR a flexible option for businesses working with many different types of tools and dimensions.
The HELITRONIC RAPTOR is built with the WALTER gantry design, where high weight and very rigid construction transform the high dynamics of the digital drives into very low vibration and high precision grinding. This creates stable conditions for accurate machining even in demanding applications.
The tool grinder has three linear axes, X, Y and Z, equipped with ball screws. The maximum feed rate is 15 m/min, which contributes to an efficient and smooth machining process.
The machine is also equipped with rotating A and C axes with worm gears. The A axis has a speed of 60 rpm, which provides stable and controlled movement when grinding different tool geometries.
In addition, the HELITRONIC RAPTOR has an 11.5 kW belt-driven spindle with two spindle ends. The spindle can carry up to six grinding wheels, and the different grinding wheel packages are linked to the respective spindle together with the associated measurement data. This provides good flexibility and supports efficient switching between different machining operations.
This makes HELITRONIC RAPTOR a strong choice for companies looking for a reliable, compact and cost-effective tool grinder for both grinding and regrinding.
