Wire EDM Series Features Design, Engineering Improvements
Mitsibushi EDM’s MV series EDM line features non-contact cylindrical drive technology, an improved power supply, auto-threading, deeper submerged-wire threading capabilities and more.
Other design improvements that are said to reduce overall operating costs include less-expensive power fed design, larger wire drive rollers with more usable surface, reduced electrode wear for lower cost, optical drive plus LSM for reduced electrical consumption, and a “sleep mode” function that turns pumps off at night and restarts them in the morning to simultaneously save energy and prepare the machine for operation.
