Moon Tool & Die featured in EDM Today

Hi everyone. We wanted to let you know that one of Makino's EDM customers, Moon Tool and Die in Meadville, PA, was recently featured as the cover story for the Jan/Feb issue of EDM Today magazine. Moon Tool has several Makino machines, including a SP43 wire EDM, a U32j wire EDM, an EDGE2S Sinker EDM, and a S56 machining center. On the wire EDMs they use all three Makino wire guides--split V guides for general work, split C guides for high taper applications, and PICO Precision guides on the U32j for reliable threading of small holes in a tight matrix. One job they do on the U32j, as described in the EDM Today article, has 2500 start holes that are 0.015" diameter with center to center distances of 0.0395". They were able to run this job unattended using 0.006" diameter wire, without missing a thread. For more details, check out their article at www.edmtodaymagazine.com. If you would like more information on these different wire guide systems, you can check out my "Choosing a Wire Guide System" webinar at www.makino.com/library.
