Walter AG expands the range of special tools Walter Xpresses for the taladrado and mandrinado in interchangeable plate with a service of fast delivery. The final user benefits of a big saving of time and of costs because of the areas of design, the calculations of costs and the creation of data of production are assumed by a system of sophisticated configuration totally automatic.

“Are continuously developing Walter Xpresses and find us with the increase of the demand of the special tools” says Heiner Schelling, manager of Methods and Systems GCC of Walter. ”After having the tools of hard metal for the taladrado and milling in two weeks, was only question of time until they included the first tools of plaquitas interchangeable in our service of fast delivery”.

The expansion of Walter Xpresses covers all the taladrado and mandrinado of precision until three different steps. The solutions in the taladrado base in the successful range of product Xtra•tec Point Drill and Xtra•tec insert drill. The tools with seat of fixed plate, cartridges and cartridges of precision are available for the operations of mandrinado and mandrinado of precision.

Term of delivery of four weeks

The term of delivery of this complex solution of tools is of four weeks. “This short term is possible thanks to the internal processing automated as it already has been the case of the tools of hard metal. In the first place, the users contact with our technicians-commercial or with the department of local Engineering of Walter on his query of mechanised. The team of local Engineering comprises the needs of the customer and afterwards imputes the different data inside the field of parameters of Walter Xpresses. In addition to the data of the piece of work, these also include specifications of materials, with different options for the suitable tool, options of degrees of plates, etc. The system, therefore, designs and calculates the tool wished in the lower time together with a wide documentation of data and the corresponding drawings. From here, the customer receives his offer in 24 hours”. At the same time that sucede all this, go creating all the data of the material, the program of manufacture CNC and all the data that require internally for the manufacture of the tool. This means that the manufacture can begin immediately after cursar the request. To answer to the terms offered, “always have of a wide provision of prime matter to ensure us that they do not produce necks of bottle in the manufacture”.

Without this type of processing, the customers face up to two terms, ones for the offer and another for the manufacture/delivers. With the special tools reduces the change of tools and also the cycles of production of the customer. The terms of short delivery also allow to the customer reduce his existences of rotation of tools and, therefore, also reduces his inventory. “When it require a replacement, the customer knows that they do not go to have to expect more than four weeks”.

“With the integration of the tools of taladrado and mandrinado in interchangeable plate, have stepped important in the development of Walter Xpresses and can take advantage of this system for the introduction of tools of interchangeable plate in a future including the escuadrado with the new range of product Blaxx. But also we go to expand even more the others marks. One of the next steps is to include Walter Prototyp tools of threaded.”
