Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from United Grinding (Walter). Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Walter Helitronic Vision 400 is a tool grinder with 5 axes (X, Y, Z, A, C), a 33 kW grinding spindle running at up to 10,000 RPM and travels of 500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z. It is not in the maker's current lineup. The listed figures have not been checked against a manufacturer page, so use them to shortlist a used machine and confirm each one on the machine itself.
The drive rows are what stand out. Rapid traverse is given as 50,000 mm/min (1,969 ipm) on all axes. The C axis is a torque drive with 360-degree continuous rotation, and the A axis is a torque motor with a maximum of 750 RPM. Direct rotary drives have no gear train to wear, but on an older machine their cooling and their measuring systems deserve a look during inspection.
Tool capacity runs from a minimum diameter of 3 mm (0.12 in) to a maximum of 315 mm (12.4 in), with a maximum tool length of 420 mm (16.5 in) and a maximum workpiece weight of 50 kg (110 lb). The grinding wheel can be up to 254 mm (10 in).
Installation is the heavy part. The machine measures 4,242 x 2,428 x 2,639 mm (167 x 95.6 x 103.9 in), weighs 7,000 kg (15,432 lb) and draws 35 kVA (400V/50Hz). A site with a different supply needs a transformer plan before the machine arrives. The control row names the C.O.R.E. platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed figures give a minimum tool diameter of 3 mm (0.12 in), a maximum tool diameter of 315 mm (12.4 in) and a maximum tool length of 420 mm (16.5 in). Maximum workpiece weight is 50 kg (110 lb), and the largest grinding wheel is 254 mm (10 in).
02
The C axis has a torque drive with 360-degree continuous rotation. The A axis has a torque motor with a maximum of 750 RPM. Rapid traverse is listed as 50,000 mm/min (1,969 ipm) on all axes, and the linear travels are 500 mm (19.7 in) in X, 350 mm (13.8 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z.
03
Space for 4,242 x 2,428 x 2,639 mm (167 x 95.6 x 103.9 in), a floor and lifting gear for 7,000 kg (15,432 lb), and a supply for 35 kVA (400V/50Hz). The Walter Helitronic Power, by comparison, is listed at 5300 kg (11684.5 lbs.).
04
It is not in the maker's current lineup, so it is a machine to look for used. The listed figures, including the 33 kW spindle power and the spindle speed of up to 10,000 RPM, could not be checked against a manufacturer page. Confirm them from the machine's own documentation.
