Roughing. Heat treating. Grinding. Electrode manufacturing.EDMing. Benchwork. Sound familiar? Each step in this traditionalapproach to forging die production adds time — and money — to theprocess. But it doesn't have to be that way.
Through the use of an environmentally safe powder additive that is mixed with the dielectric fluid, Diffused Discharge Machining (DDM) technology improves electrical conductivity for more consistent discharging and spark diffusion.
Implementing an integrated tooling system proved to be this mold shop's first step toward automated operation of its electrical discharge machines and graphite mills. Today, the shop's robotic cells can run around the clock in an unattended mode.
