What if you could find a wire machine that could deliver cycle times up to 50 percent faster without losing any of the high-precision accuracy so crucial to the mold? Look no further. The latest addition to Makino's award-winning U-Series of wire EDM machines relies on advanced generator technology...
Producing fine finishes on EDMed surfaces has long been a goal, especially for mold and die shops that operate ram-type electrical discharge machines. Lately, there has been renewed interest in using additives in the dielectric oil to achieve ultra fine finishes with graphite electrodes without excessive...
The UPJ-2 meets the needs of the micro-miniature machining markets that require micrometer and nanometer level machining technologies.
Form Grinding wanted a better way to create the carbide inserts it used for cold extrusion forming in steel dies. The grinding wheel process they used to dimensionalize the carbide was slow and inefficient, and working with carbide on a grinding wheel is an untidy process. Plus it was costly, as the...
In response to these dwindling lead times, Moldmakers evaluated its processes and realized an equipment upgrade would let them take on additional projects that had extremely short lead times. At the heart of the upgrade was a pair of Makino EDNC65 RAM EDM machines.
