EDM Technology Methods Machine Tools recently introduced the Current
Model RT6050-5AT EDM drilling machine. “The machine features a multi-axis Siemens 840D CNC controller for greater expandability and industrial level security. Software and hardware upgrades to the controller and EDM power supply improve drilling speed and stability, while reducing electrode usage and improving metallurgical recast issues,” said Bond. “In addition, the RT6050-5AT is designed with an extend- ed traveling bridge X-axis. Depending on application require- ments, the machine can be equipped with either a fi xed or tilting EDM drilling head, and the machine table is designed to accept various sizes of rotary tables.
“New power supply technologies enable drilling with less side-wear at the tip of the electrode. This results in more consistent hole depth and diameter, faster drilling speeds and more holes per electrode. In an effort to reduce cycle time, automatic electrode changers have also been upgraded to shorten electrode change time and optimize electrode usage, leading to fewer overall electrode changes,” said Bond.

New servo controls with advanced gap sensing improve drilling stability and reduce electrode fl exing, especially when using longer, small diameter electrodes. In addition, new TRACE functions further the ability to optimize depth control by providing a graphical method to fi ne-tune depth sensing when drilling into small pockets.

Wire EDM Designed for Ease of Use, Low Cost of Operation Advances in wire EDM technology focus on programming and software is designed for ease of use, as well as accuracy and quality of fi nish. Such is the case with two new large scale wire EDM machines from Makino Inc. (Auburn Hills, MI). The U3 and U6 wire EDMs feature new HyperCut tech- nology and Hyper-i control that make is easy for even novice operators to program and produce the most complex parts in competitive cycle times and high degrees of accuracy and fi nish, regardless of the condition or application. Both machines are scaled for large payloads and travels and cost-effective machining. The U3 will accommodate a maximum workpiece size of 770 × 590 × 220 mm with a payload of 1322 lb (600 kg). The U6 holds sizes up to 1000 × 800 × 400 mm with a maximum payload of 3307 lb (1500 kg). The U3 and U6 feature an innovative design in which the entire bed casting is used as the dielectric reservoir. This design approach reduces fl oor-space require- ments over previous models and elimi- nates the need for additional external fl uid tanks. ME
