Makino has introduced the HS-Rib high-speed Zaxis technology for improved speed, lower electrode wear, and more uniform finishes in large sinker EDM processes.
According to the company, it has a jump rate that is four times faster and Z-axis acceleration rate 30 times faster than previous technologies. This capability produces a more efficient hydraulic effect during machine processing, which helps evacuate debris from the spark gap, even in deep-rib features, the company states.
The jump rate of this system is 20 m/minute with 1.5-G acceleration. Z-axis strokes are from 500 to 800 mm, and programming of orbital machining patterns has no amperage limitations.
