Large-capacity die-sinking - New EDM machine - the first of its type in Europe - cuts 'sparking' time from four weeks to one

摘要

The first Sodick AG100L CNC die-sink EDM in Europe has been installed by at the Sutton Coldfield premises of WH Smith and Sons (Tools) Ltd, where it is 'sparking' large tools such as automotive radiator grille cavities in about a week (100-150hr); previously, this could take four weeks, using smaller-capacity machines.
