patent applications per year produced wire-cut EDM machines If you’ve got grand designs, you need someone strong you can count on. Since 1970, a growing number of European companies have therefore been ­ urning to high-performance EDM machines from world market t leader ­ itsubishi Electric. M Only by producing components in-house is it possible to tailor them perfectly to the intended task. Mitsubishi Electric resorts to its own c ­ ontrols, semiconductors, motors and other items, which are adapted in detail to all requirements. The only thing you notice is that it works – and often for many...

ODS OPTICAL DRIVE SYSTEM The speed of light ... ... for communication by fibre optics. The Tubular Shaft Drive with its highly responsive control fully exploits the benefits of high communication speed. No heat, no maintenance and no contact – just extra precision for good. At Mitsubishi Electric, this is known as “Changes for the Better”. Continued on page 11 PFC PRECISE FINISH CIRCUIT Extra precision and speed thanks to the generator that not only thinks, but also thinks ahead. If you want to achieve better surface quality with fewer r ­ ecuts, you need the right blend of mutually adapted technologies....

Ingenious drive positioning If you want extra-smooth axis movements, you have to position the drives right in the centre of the moving weight – so that the superior Tubular Shaft Drive can exploit its full potential. Glass scales right next to the work space are an assurance of maximum precision right from the start. Tons of solidity cast in steel. Solid machine body The specially selected Meehanite casting ensures durability that can be measured in decades and copes with high workpiece weights day after day. The rugged machine bed takes even the severest punishment in its stride – unlike many...

The Tubular Shaft Motor converts energy directly into motion, without contact, without maintenance and above all without loss of precision – long-term. Combined with the 400 % faster fibre-optic-­ ased b control, this superior technology can truly show what it is capable of. The 12-year genuine manufacturer warranty on positioning accuracy is a guarantee of top-level durability. Your company’s technological edge has a name: Tubular Shaft Motor – from world market leader Mitsubishi Electric.

Intercepting the waste – fully automatically. We call it COREHOLD®. During rough machining, a controllable bridge is created to hold the waste m ­ aterial – the waste ­ aterial cannot fall. This m m ­ eans that many features can be rough-­ achined m and, after removal of the waste material, recut – fully automatically and unmanned, overnight and at weekends. Lower costs, higher profits. Better s htnes straig PFC PRECISE FINISH CIRCUIT Getting a grip on radii and corners On small inner and outer corners and complicated geometries, Corner Master 3 comes to your aid. You merely define your priorities,...

Twice-as-fast spark detection The high-speed digital control works up to twice as fast as traditional machines. This prevents wire breakage and increases machining speed noticeably at the same time. Greater speed and accuracy – and you save more. PFC PRECISE FINISH CIRCUIT Response time is decisive An EDM machine that reacts with greater speed and precision achieves better surface quality faster. The new V350 generator has a significantly higher effective sampling rate. The voltage is built up faster and with greater precision thanks to reduced capacitance loss. Thanks to faster voltage build-up,...

atic Autom ing hread wire t ficult for dif ieces workp Vastly superior. The wire threader for maximum dependability. Automatic wire threading – equipped for any ­situation Wire break point insertion, jet stream on or off, even with difficult applications. The innovative flow analysis for the jet stream makes your work easier. The entire process has been improved to permit toleration of an up to 10 % rate of spooling-related curl. Round diamond guide Maximum precision and durability ensure the best results in the long run – inclusive of maintenance-­ friendliness due to a small number of parts...

Intuitive operation In dialogue with the machine Produce NC data the easy way. Machining tech- nologies are assigned intuitively and with menu guidance. Optimise the parameters of the machi- ning technologies and store these as an ME-Pack. NATURAL USER The complete machine documents inclusive of maintenance instructions are always available, and the right help is quickly found. Comprehensibility is aided by photos and 3D depiction. Import 3D data in Parasolid® format and create 3D shapes with the integrated 3D CAD/CAM. By using them, you can generate NC data with the as- sociated machining parameters....

If time is of the essence or you want the machines to take some of the work off your shoulders. Set-up of- ten takes too long; from now on, you can save this time.
