The use of EDM can be processed faster and with high accuracy. Automation equipment is also its unique highlight, but how to realize the automation of EDM?
There are several ways? Let me introduce you.
- 1. Automatic tool change device. The acquisition of a simple tool changer requires only increased cost, but it can continue until all electrodes on the turntable are used.
- 2. Although the cost of purchasing EDM is slightly higher, the return is higher. The ordinary one can only carry 10-20 chucks, while the EDM machine can operate about 50 chucks. The ordinary number comes from the design of the equipment, while the latter is different.
- 3. The electric spark can automatically change the guiding device. However, if two or more different types of electrodes are required to process the workpiece, this automation is particularly important, because different types of electrodes require different guide rails to match different diameter sizes. More importantly, the work that the operator needs to do can now be done through the tool converter, which can free the operator to do more valuable and high-value-added work, making the entire process more valuable. The important thing here is not that more time is needed, because this system can make workers more efficient.
The design of EDM is numerically controlled or computer controlled, and the operation is very simple. Some processing plants are still shy to talk about automation, or because of fear of the technology itself, others worry that if two machine tools are turned off at the same time, the whole process is likely to be interrupted.
This kind of downtime is a hidden danger for many factories, especially those that want to keep up with the demands of customers in the current industry and supply them in time. However, we will avoid this form of shutdown, and there is no need to turn to a process engineer or engineering company to automate the process, and you only need to cooperate with the EDM machine tool or machine supplier to adjust a set of programs based on the operation of the EDM machine tool.
