Quality Wire EDM Inc. has introduced a tooling-on-demand program called QW Elite. This program was designed from the ground up with the ease and convince of the end user in mind. The QW Elite tooling-on-demand program ensures to be the most comprehensive and efficient program in the industry for managers, toolmakers, buyers and the like to keep their production tooling up and running.
The QW Elite program starts by enrolling your company at www.QWMFG.com/Elite. From there you will select a set of details that will be put under contract with Quality Wire EDM. The company recommends starting with your most important and mission critical wear items. Once the list of details is established, the material specified will be procured and production will begin. While these details move through production your company will be assigned a custom password protected URL at www.QWMFG.com. This is where your company’s own, one-off web store will be located. From here you will get to see an actual photograph along with any and all corresponding information about every detail under contract, in addition to a buy now button.
When it comes time to order, you can order direct from your custom webstore 24/7. All QW Elite orders ship via UPS next day shipping at no additional charge. To help in supply chain continuity and maintain traceability, you will be able to have individual login accounts for every buyer, along with the ability to attach PO numbers and buyers notes, giving the purchaser maximum flexibility. All orders also ship with mill, heat treat and conformance certifications, no need to ask, no additional fee.
If you are like most companies, manpower is one of your hottest commodities and there is simply not enough to go around. The QW Elite program will enable you to leverage your supply chain, by allowing you to no longer be forced into having experienced employees work on tooling maintenance and repair. Additionally, with your tools ready, waiting to be sipped, and only a click away the QW Elite program promises to cut down on unscheduled overtime when a machine comes offline unexpectedly.
The benefits to the QW Elite program do not stop at one-day shipping on your custom tools ordered via your own webstore 24/7. All QW Elite members receive discounts on emergency repairs for tools not under contract in addition to discounts on all new tool builds from Quality Wire EDM.
Related Glossary Terms
- 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.
- milling machine ( mill)
milling machine ( mill)
Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters; a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes; and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps; vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. All take one of three basic forms: vertical, horizontal or convertible horizontal/vertical. Vertical machines may be knee-type (the table is mounted on a knee that can be elevated) or bed-type (the table is securely supported and only moves horizontally). In general, horizontal machines are bigger and more powerful, while vertical machines are lighter but more versatile and easier to set up and operate.
- web
web
On a rotating tool, the portion of the tool body that joins the lands. Web is thicker at the shank end, relative to the point end, providing maximum torsional strength.
- wire EDM
wire EDM
Process similar to ram electrical-discharge machining except a small-diameter copper or brass wire is used as a traveling electrode. Usually used in conjunction with a CNC and only works when a part is to be cut completely through. A common analogy is wire electrical-discharge machining is like an ultraprecise, electrical, contour-sawing operation.
