AccuteX EDM recently introduced its rigid "DS-550CM" Die Sinker EDM. Its X,Y, Z working capacity is 20" x 16" x 14" The work table size is 32" x 18" Maximum workpiece size is 47" x 27" x 17", and this machine can accommodate workpiece weights up to 2,970 lbs.
Accutex designed the EDM using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure high accuracy machining. Further contributing to its rigidity is a heavily ribbed, high-grade Meehanite casting. Premium grade components, such as precise drive system, linear bearings, class 5 pre-tensioned fine finish ballscrews, and high resolution servo motors are used, along with roller type linear guideways, and optical scales.
Options for the DS-550 for greater flexibility include a built-in C axis with 360-degree indexing, an automatic electrode changer, dielectric cooler, and custom tooling package. Customers can perform 3-axis machining in 6 directions, multi-cavity, circular, square and any angle orbiting, internal/external spherical, and 45-degree corner machining. Further, the EDM can do 3-axis linear machining, 2-axis arc machining, and offers helical machining electrode compensation.
The Accutex control's 15" industrial grade, LCD monitor is easy to read and in full color. Its software supports dialogue options for simple, straight-forward programming and operation.

- electrical-discharge machining ( EDM)
electrical-discharge machining ( EDM)
Process that vaporizes conductive materials by controlled application of pulsed electrical current that flows between a workpiece and electrode (tool) in a dielectric fluid. Permits machining shapes to tight accuracies without the internal stresses conventional machining often generates. Useful in diemaking.
