Walter announces the new Helicheck Nano

The world’s first automated measuring machine for ‘micro’ and ‘nano’ tools as small as 0.1 mm diameter.

Available from Walter Ewag UK – the Warwick-based source of Walter tool measuring machines as well as Walter and Ewag tool and insert grinding/erosion/laser processing machines – the Helicheck Nano has been developed to measure the small diameter tooling increasingly being demanded to meet the trend towards miniaturisation in electronics, micromechanics and medical technology.

Walter says that the comprehensive measurement of tools with diameters of less than 1 mm is usually fraught with problems and that even the use of microscopy sees human operation posing the greatest risk of error.
