Just received this email:
We just installed a new Makino SP43 with HEAT and held operator training at a customer in the South. This customer also has a competitor's machine.
Both machines were setup with .012" hard brass wire. Openings were cut on the left side of the blank. The left side was 2.000" thick verses 1.5" average thickness on the right side, so this cut was ideal for the HEAT technology because of the varying thickness.
Initial cuts are showing a marked time improvement - faster by 20+ percent than the competitor's machine. More to come later this week after the customer gets going on a test run.
