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...
