Available from GF Machining Solutions, the AgiesCharmilles Form 20 EDM features Intelligent Power Generator (IPG) technology that gives it low energy consumption levels (3.7 kW/hr. at full power). With every machine pulse, the 70-A generator continuously optimizes the EDM process and dramatically reduces electrode wear, providing very uniform surface finishes. The machine reliably generates surface finishes of 0.1 micron Ra and radii down to 0.0007", the company says.
Additionally, the FORM 20 features the company’s AC Form human-machine interface (HMI) that provides a flexible control developed for a die-sinking EDM which is said to be easy to use. Combined with full spark generator technology, AC Form HMI enables operators of all experience levels to achieve good results.
