The EDNC6 machine provides similar high performance as the EDAF-Series, but with larger X/Y/Z strokes and larger work tank. The standard configuration EDNC6 utilizes a three-sided programmable rise-and-fall work tank that positions below the table level and accommodates work piece sizes up to 39”...

The EDBV3 (Electrical Discharge Blade and Vane) machine has been specifically designed for the demanding EDM Drilling requirements for blade and vane machining found in the aerospace and power generation industries. 

Learn how Makino M-codes, control parameters and programming formats can work together to take out significant chunks of a part’s cycle time. In a fast paced review of your machine’s capabilities, we will analyze how parallel processing and special functions allow you to perform tool changes,...

This webinar will examine various application examples of very tight tolerances, geometric feature blends and very accurate tooling matches - between different tools - on long cycle time, complex, 3D die and mold parts. Topics that will be discussed include the machine tool technology incorporated in...

Discover a highly precise, and highly effective way of producing ultra fine holes utilizing the EDM process. This technology webinar will introduce an innovative, and highly accurate approach to producing ultra small holes below 0.100mm diameter. We will also illustrate comparisons with laser and conventional...

The recast layer and Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) left on workpiece surfaces by the EDM process can be a problem in aerospace applications. Advancements in machine tool and generator design, along with spark generation technology, can reduce or eliminate both recast and HAZ. This Webinar will address these...

Any manufacturing advantage could be the winning margin on a die/mold project. Since tool length measurement is a necessary and repetitive task, saving just a little time (and effort) can return major benefits and provide a true economic edge. Tool length measurement can provide a means of reducing labor...

Broken tool detection can be very beneficial – insuring that the tool is functional - and preventing potentially dangerous, and costly, machine “accidents” part quality issues and lost production. However, broken tool detection – if not implemented correctly - could also increase...

The EDBV8 (Electrical Discharge Blade and Vane) machine expands on the X/Y/Z stroke capacities of the smaller EDBV3, and has been designed with a focus on EDM Drilling of turbine engine components.
