A follow-up to the entry dated Friday, October 20, "Email from an Application Engineer"
The engineer who sent the original email notified me of the following.
The user initially saw a 35% reduction in machining time over the conventional wire EDM processes. The job originally took 9hrs 36min, and now is running at 6hrs 36min using HEAT.
This same customer started using special HEAT wire from EDM Sales & Supplies on this job, and has been able to further reduce the machining time on this job to just 4hrs 39min - a 52 percent decrease in total machining time!
While HEAT doesn't require special wire, the HEAT wire will improve even further your speed in poor flushing conditions.
For a time-sensitve project or a job shop enviornment, these kind of savings are invaluable! For more info on EDM Sales and Supply, visit their website edmsave.com.
