Keep your eye out for the next edition of Manufacturing News (SE, SW, Midwest and NE). Intricate EDM, a shop using HEAT on their SP43, is featured on the cover.
They're acheiving amazing results with this new technology!
The general accuracy rating for HEAT at 4.0” tall is:
Accuracy: ±0.0002” (±5µm)
Straightness: 0.0002” (5µm) total – T.I.R.
The general accuracy rating for HEAT at 4.0” (152mm) tall is:
Accuracy:±0.0003” (±7µm) Straightness:0.0005” (12µm) total – T.I.R.
HEAT has been developed for 1 and 2 pass machining. This available process and technology will meet or exceed conventional systems results for both accuracy and straightness. A large majority of job tolerances will be meet or exceeded with this available technology.
