GF AgieCharmilles says its FO350 MS sinker EDM offers innovations in precision, speed and productivity for even the smallest die and mold applications. To achieve superior quality and efficiency, FO350 MS utilizes MicroTEC discharge circuitry, which enables EDM power to be modulated, with the flexibility necessary to maximize material removal, while allowing a reduced electrode undersize of less than or equal to 0.002". This allows for higher machining outputs, while maintaining the geometry of the electrodes due to an extremely low wear rate. Additionally, an increase in Z-axis motion speed and acceleration allow the FO350 MS to improve performance by approximately 30 percent for medium to deep rib machining. FO350 MS also includes a double thermo stabilization system to prevent the impact of temperature variations. Pulsed air, circulating in the cabin, is cooled in real time according to the temperature of the dielectric, by a double differential temperature probe. The whole of the main frame and the X, Y and Z axes are thermostabilized in the same way as the whole of the machine. Circulation of the dielectric is integrated into the worktable, which prevents the risk of thermal shocks when filling the tank. Additionally, FO350 MS features GF AgieCharmilles' DPControl, which is designed to suggest ideal electrode undersize and rationalize the number of electrodes necessary for effective machining. The system allows direct access to measurements performed on a preset station and allows for organization of jobs according to the users priorities. DPControl also enables close monitoring with the automated production features of Expert Systems, and all information related to machining status can be transmitted directly to the operator via SMS.
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.
