EDM—Burning with Innovation
Automation, accuracy and custom solutions among the needs addressed at IMTS

lynn Fletcher, President—Americas, GF Machining Solutions (Lincolnshire, IL) sees two trends among his EDM customers: “The first is an increased requirement for automation, and we’re very committed to finding automated
solutions,” he said. “You will see evidence of that in our IMTS booth. We’ll be linking a high-speed milling machine with an EDM machine, with robot loading in between. There will be a flexible manufacturing cell as well, with machines linked with automation. There’s also the new Cut 2000 machine with the automatic wire-changing capability—a variation on the automation theme.”
