MV series wire EDM features noncontact cylindrical drive technology, an improved power supply, auto-threading, and deeper submerged-wire threading capabilities. Cylindrical linear drive technology creates a noncontact design using the full 360° of magnetic flux. The design deliv- ers no wear, no cog- ging (inherent in flat plate systems), and no backlash for better energy-efficiency, accuracy, and speed. Built with a one-piece T-shaped base cast- ing, the new MV series Wire EDMs feature
directly mounted X and Y-axis ways and drives, providing a rigid and thermally stable platform and driving the table and column independently. Also on display are the new MC Milling line and the four-axis Mitsubishi Waterjet DX44. MC Machinery Systems Inc. Ph: 630-616-5920 Web site: www.mitsubishi-world.com
Waterjet Cutting Technology Waterjets are becoming a standard machine tool in a wide variety of industries because of their accuracy and the nearly unlimited range of materials they can cut without chang- ing the material’s mechanical properties. Materials include composites, laminates, aluminum, and titanium. The latest technology will be dem- onstrated. Advanced
Mach 4 waterjet combines the HyperJet pump with 45% more cutting pressure than standard systems and Dynamic XD, high-precision flat stock and 3-D cutting technology. The HyperJet pump is rated at 94,000 psi (6481 bar). HyperPres- sure systems cut up to 50% faster while using less abrasive than conventional waterjets.
