June 2016 Product Spotlight Slideshow: EDM
This month’s Modern Equipment Review Spotlight focuses on electric discharge machines, or EDMs.
Diebold’s 3Dpro edge finder from Bilz Tool accepts 3-mm over-travel in each direction to prevent breaking.
One highlight of the AgiesCharmilles Cut E 350 is its large-touchscreen human-machine interface (HMI) with Intelligent Collision Protection, built-in machining strategies and flexible job management.
The dual heads on this sinker EDM from Makino are individually controlled for improved productivity for large molds.
MC Machinery Systems’ EA12PS sinker EDM is equipped with the company’s Fuzzy-Pro 3 Plus on its Fuzzy-Logic control to improve work in no-flush machining.
The C600iB pictured here is one of several wire EDMs in the FANUC RoboCut α-CiB series from Methods Machine Tools, so called for its controller, which enables remote monitoring of as many as 32 such machines for consumables, efficiency, uptime and maintenance.
The slideshow below, based on our June 2016 issue’s Modern Equipment Review Spotlight, features wire and die-sinker EDMs as well as related equipment such as the Diebold 3Dpro waterproof 3D edge finder.
Click through the slideshow for details and see the links below for more information on each of these machines.
