How much does the United Grinding Walter Helitronic Vision cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from United Grinding Group. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Walter Helitronic Vision is a tool grinding machine with 5 simultaneous CNC axes for rotary tools of 3 – 320 mm (0.12 – 12.6 in) in diameter and up to 320 mm (12.6 in) in length. The model is not in the maker's current lineup. Nobody has been able to check the listed figures against a manufacturer page, so read them as a starting point for inspecting a used machine.
A diameter range that starts at 3 mm and ends at 320 mm covers small shank tools and large disc-shaped cutters on the same machine. Workpiece weight is up to 50 kg (110 lb), and the table ties that figure to a collet chuck, so a heavy cutter body held another way needs its own answer from the seller. Wheel speed is listed as up to 60 m/s. That is a surface speed, not an rpm, and the table gives neither spindle speed nor spindle power.
Grinding accuracy is stated as runout < 2 µm and diameter tolerance ± 2 µm. On a machine with years behind it, those are values to confirm with a ground and measured test tool.
Both automation items are optional: a robot loader interface and a 7-station wheel changer. The first is an interface, not a loader, so find out whether a robot was ever fitted. The programming software named in the table is HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO. Machine weight is approx. 5,500 kg (12,100 lb), close to the 5300 kg (11684.5 lbs.) of the Walter Helitronic Power.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Tool diameter range of 3 – 320 mm (0.12 – 12.6 in) on a single machine
- 5 simultaneous CNC axes for helical and profiled tool geometry
- Listed grinding accuracy of runout < 2 µm and diameter tolerance ± 2 µm
- Wheel speed of up to 60 m/s
- A 7-station wheel changer and a robot loader interface are both available as options
Limitations
- The wheel changer and the robot loader interface are optional, so a used machine may have neither
- Tool length stops at 320 mm (12.6 in)
- The 50 kg (110 lb) workpiece weight applies in a collet chuck; no figure is given for other clamping
- Not in the maker's current lineup, and the listed figures carry no travels, spindle power or spindle speed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a tool diameter range of 3 – 320 mm (0.12 – 12.6 in) and a maximum tool length of 320 mm (12.6 in). Workpiece weight is up to 50 kg (110 lb) in a collet chuck.
02
No. The table marks both items as optional: a robot loader interface and a 7-station wheel changer. On a used machine, check which of the two were ordered, and remember that the interface on its own does not mean a robot is present.
03
Grinding accuracy is listed as runout < 2 µm and diameter tolerance ± 2 µm. The figures could not be checked against a manufacturer page and the model is not in the maker's current lineup, so ask for a test tool to be ground and measured.
04
Machine weight is listed as approx. 5,500 kg (12,100 lb). For comparison, the Walter Helitronic Power is listed at 5300 kg (11684.5 lbs.). The table gives no footprint, so get the dimensions from the seller before planning the move.
