Wire EDM adds competitive gain
With EDM wire cutting, especially with the Agie cut Evolution and Agie tron Innovation machines, Christian Dunkel ocquired a decisive competitive advantage in jig and fixture manufacture.
The seminars, delivered by Mikron product specialist, Steve Burrows, are aimed at UK precision engineering companies (OEMs, First/Second Tier suppliers and subcontractors) operating in highly-competitive global sectors and markets - aerospace, medical, power generation, oil/gas, motor sport etc - and are intended to demonstrate the significant commercial and technical benefits that can be achieved by embracing these advanced milling technologies.
Said Burrows: "There is a plethora of information in the marketplace about the latest developments in milling.
Unfortunately some of this information is both inaccessible and misleading - and in some instances it is totally wrong." He continued: "Our seminars are in-depth, practical and are intended to put the record straight.
The focus is to explain and quantify the benefits of, and pinpoint the differences between, HSM and HPM and 5-axis machining - and to highlight the type of applications best suited for each of these technologies." Burrows added: "Irrespective of whether your manufacturing goals today (and tomorrow) are to further improve part accuracies; achieve superior surface finishes, reduce time spent on job setups; reduce part cycle times; achieve greater process reliability - you will find that our seminars will help you 'see the wood from the trees'.".
