MAKINO INTRODUCES ULTRA HIGH ACCRAUCY RAM EDM EDAC1
AUBURN HILLS, MI—June 2006—Makino’s newest entry to the
micro-EDM world is the EDAC1. This next generation, micro EDM Ram machine
is capable of producing corner radii of 0.00019 inches (0.005 mm) and surface
finish quality of 0.000024 inches (0.6 micron) Ry.
Positional
and pitch accuracy of +/- 0.00004 inches (1.0 micron) is achieved with new
mechanical and electronic design that includes a full heat control system, with
thermal isolation and heat removal systems as standard equipment. This system
includes an integral Z-axis thermal stabilizer along with special engineered
placement of the heat generating components, such as the power generator.
The EDAC1
has X-,Y-, and Z-axis travels of 8.66 x 7 x 8.66 inches (220 mm x 180 mm x 220
mm), and a table size of 13.77 x 9.85 inches (350 mm x 250 mm). The new C-axis
head is designed to maintain indexing accuracy of +/- 2 arc-seconds.
The machine
size is 45.70 inches wide by 73.60 inches deep by 90.20 inches tall
(1,160 mm x 1,869 mm x 2,291 mm), and it weighs in at 6,835 pounds (3,100
kg). The maximum electrode weight is 11 pounds (5 kg) and the maximum
work piece weight is 110 pounds (50 kg).
Visit Booth
