« New wire guides available from Makino | Main | Wire EDM testing in progress...results s... »

Hey guys, I thought I'd let you all take a look at a new test cut piece that the EDM Applications Department in Auburn Hills came up with.  This part shows how well SurfaceWizard technology handles interrupted and variable thickness cuts without leaving lines at transition points.  With older technology, cutting across these kinds of details would leave anything from fine witness lines, to gouges that could be several thousandths of an inch deep.  The only visible line here is on the left side of the "K" in Makino.  Not only did SurfaceWizard allow cutting of this part without leaving severe witness lines, the technology also helps produce a straight, flat cut along the surface being worked.  This part came directly off of the machine, with no hand work or secondary operations to "polish up" the EDMed surface.  For more details on SurfaceWizard technology, contact me via phone or email, or call EDM Applications at our Die Mold Technology Center in Auburn Hills, MI at 248-232-6200.
