Makino's newly developed Titanium booster technology
FW: Ti Booster technology
Makino has recently developed Titanium booster technology for Makino sinkers at the request of a major aerospace manufacturer.  In order to use it, the EDM machine must have a generator booster that provides an additional 60 amps to the existing standard generator.  What's new is the technology, or machining conditions, that provide the burn parameters for the machining - On time, Off time, Servo, Amperage, etc.  The new technology is currently for high speed roughing only, and provides material removal rates of about 2 grams per minute.  This is about 70-80% faster than previous technologies.  Makino is currently developing finish settings for this new technology that are expected to be able to achieve finishes down to less than 2 micronRa, or 75 microinchRa.  This technology will be available for most Makino sinker EDMs. We'll be broadcasting an online seminar on our Titanium booster technology this Thursday, January 22, 2009. If you'd like to attend and learn more about these advancements in titanium machining, you can register for free here. Thanks for reading everybody, hope to see you at this weeks seminar!
