The WALTER HELITRONIC POWER REGRINDER 5-AXIS CNC grinding machine was built by the German company Walter Maschinenbau GmbH in 2001. The grinder is used in grinding tools and knives for wood and metal processing. The maximum diameter of the workpiece is 320 mm, and the maximum length is 350 mm (peripheral grinding) or 280 (face grinding). The machine is equipped with 5 control axis, ISO 50 spindle head and CNC HMC 500 control. The rotational speed of the spindle and grinding wheel can be adjusted from 0 to 9500 rpm. The total weight of the grinder is 4600 kg.
