EDM machines make environmental gains in the UK


Used by major EDM manufacturers in Europe, the water treatment system, E.KO Ioniser off ers a direct replacement for the deionising resin canisters on wire EDM machines. Available from Makrep EDM Solutions, the system’s benefits include better water quality, reduced downtime and no more need to dispose of contaminated resin which has a great environmental impact. The company is also sales and service agents for Oscarmax EDM


and Ireland, which


provides a new generation


of EDM sinkers to meet the UK market requirements. The company has a range of over 60 EDM sinkers and fast hole drilling machines to suit all customers’ budgets.

accommodate sheet sizes up to 4,000 x 2,000mm and secondary operations such as folding up to 4,000mm on one of two Bystronic CNC brake presses. The company believes it is the only sub-contractor to off er a


Investment replaces and refreshes


Created from the acquisition of CNC Vacuum Processes by the Magnetic Shields group, MSL Heat Treatment has built on the legacy of quality vacuum heat treatment and brazing. It has invested heavily to refurbish and replace vacuum furnaces to meet the demands of modern manufacturing. It has commissioned two vacuum furnaces with the latest control and data acquisition technology designed to meet NADCAP standards. The company has also committed to improving the quality management system, ISO9001:2015 and is working towards AS9100 RevD. It exclusively operates vacuum


furnaces to produce processes that are highly consistent, repeatable and clean, with minimal distortion and dimensional changes on treated parts. Vacuum brazing processes are also ideal for applications demanding these qualities. When designing complex assemblies it has many advantages over traditional joining techniques, says the company. As well as being able to join dissimilar metals in a controlled way with high joint strength and integrity, it is also useful for large batches of components or parts with many joints that can all be brazed at the same time, potentially lowering per- unit cost of the joining process.
