UNITED GRINDING Introduces WALTER VISION LASER Machine
MIAMISBURG, Ohio, June 2025 – UNITED GRINDING Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of grinding, eroding, laser and measuring machines, has released the latest offering in its WALTER tool making and measuring line: the VISION LASER.
This new product offers innovative laser technology suited for a range of applications for brazed tools. The machine design is based on the tried and true HELITRONIC VISION platform, known for its reliability across decades.
The laser technology used offers industry-proven reliability for the precise and efficient laser processing of tools with high quality requirements
Versatility in application
The VISION LASER offers all options for processing, including PCD, CVD, MKD and carbide. Its industrial laser system allows for a range of applications, chip- and crack-free cutting edges, machining of complex geometries and operation without consumables.
More beneficial than wire erosion
Until now, wire erosion has been the standard in the production of brazed PCD tools. This comes with notable disadvantages, including the consumption of materials such as wires and coolant, plus the risk of grain breakage and limitations in the production of complex geometries.
But with the VISION LASER, production is done in just one clamp, cutting speed is high, materials are processed seamlessly and optimal surface finish is achieved.
Familiar software
On top of these benefits, the software—GTR ProfDia Laser—is similar to GTR ProfDia Erosion. This widely-used wire EDM software gives GTR-experienced users an easy transition into the operation of the VISION LASER.
The VISION LASER fits perfectly into the UNITED GRINDING portfolio: it’s a machine that fills a need, sporting myriad productivity improvements while bringing peace of mind with its reliability and longevity.
