Wire EDM (electrical discharge machining) has been configured with the wire in a vertical orientation for decades, so the appearance of a wire machine that orients the wire horizontally is truly a novel development. Wire EDM (electrical discharge machining) has...
In an effort to improve processes and drive out operational costs, the truck transmission plant of Eaton Corporation in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, needed some updated equipment. Transmission cases were being machined on 10 stand-alone CNC machines with each machine dedicated to one operation and...
The Ideal Hard Milling Machine for Complex Applications The F5 Pro 6 vertical machining center is designed to provide stiffness and rigidity for chatter-free cutting, agility expected from a hard milling machine and accuracies for tight-tolerance blends and matches typical of complex, 3-D contoured...
New EDM technology can improve cycle time reduction and enhance cost savings. OFFLINE PROGRAMMING FOR COMPETITIVE SOLUTIONS Bill Paul and Yoshiharu Yoshioka There are two issues with EDM operations in the U.S. that hamper production and cost efficiency....
The iQ300 is the ideal precision micro milling machine for manufacturers of LED tooling, optic surface finishes and other high-tolerance machining applications. The machine delivers wide ranging capabilities from sub-micron machining accuracy and repeatability up to macro-scale machining applications.
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. AUTOMATED...
The same higher-level precision and surface finish capability as the U32j, but with larger travels.
The U53j Wire EDM offers the same higher level precision and surface finish capability as the U32j, but with larger travels.
The Challenge With nearly 60 years of experience in the fineblanking market, Feintool is well known for fineblanked parts production, fineblanking presses, and technical expertise in supporting customers with the research and development and prototyping of fineblanking tools. Due to the intense...
Makino's EDNC65S RAM EDM combines rugged construction, simple programming and advanced design and performance features. The result is an EDM that machines 30 percent faster than manual EDM machines, while utilizing Makino's High-Quality Surface Finish (HQSF) technology to achieve superior speeds...
The UPJ-2 meets the needs of the micro-miniature machining markets that require micrometer and nanometer level machining technologies. REVOLUTIONARY, ULTRA-PRECISION, FINE WIRE MACHINE: UPJ-2 The ultra-high accuracy UPJ-2 from Makino is the world’s only...
