Faster EDM machining. (In Gear).Who: Makino (Mason, OH) What: EDNC65S RAM EDM (Engineering Data Management) An information system that maintains the details of all engineering data while the product is in the design and concept phase. This includes geometry and changes to geometry. See PLM. EDM - Electronic Data Management Why you should care: Makino says that the advanced design and construction of this machine results in machining times that are 40 to 50% faster than standard EDM competitors. Pertinent Data: The EDNC65S has a drop tank design that allows for faster and easier setups while reducing the machine's footprint and increasing strength. The machine utilizes Makino's High Quality Surface Finish (HQSF) technology which mixes a proprietary powder additive with the dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not fluid to improve electrical conductivity Not to be confused with electrical conductance, a measure of an object's or circuit's ability to conduct an electric current between two points, which is dependent on the electrical conductivity and the geometric dimensions of the conducting object. for a more consistent spark discharge. This technology enhances energy transfer which shortens process time and allows for a larger spark gap Spark gap The region between two electrodes in which a disruptive electrical spark may take place. The gap should be taken to mean the electrodes as well as the intervening space. Such devices may have many uses. . More Info: Enter 2. |
