Compact 5-Axis EDM Drilling Machine
July 1, 2015
Current EDM's Compact Model CT400-5A EDM drilling machine is a production EDM drill for use in the general metalworking, medical and aero engine and power-gen industries. The new model features a choice of either the Siemens M control or the Siemens 840D control. Depending on the application, a 25 peak amp (0.0012"~0.080" dia. electrodes) or 57 peak amp (0.004"~0.256" dia. electrodes) power supply is available. XYZ travels are 15.75" x 12" x 16" with a table capacity of 1,000 lbs.
Current EDM recently upgraded the Siemens 840D control to handle tough EDM drilling applications. Features include expandable memory, programmable power settings and referencing cycles to simplify complex applications. Multi-level program lock-out security protects programs and process data from unwanted changes. Enhanced break-through detection programs are designed to ensure accurate and consistent depth control. Precision ball screws, high-torque Siemens motors and absolute encoders are used to provide precise positioning. The CT400-5A is configured with NIKKEN SW105 AB tables and a 24-station tool changer can be added. Teach pendant software capability enables programming and operation from the pendant.
According to the company, new power supply modifications and software upgrades enable drilling with less side wear at the tip of the electrode, resulting in more consistent depth and diameter and faster drilling speeds. The automatic electrode changer has been upgraded to speed electrode exchanges and optimize electrode usage.
The newly enhanced programmable servo control, with advanced gap sensing, is engineered to improve drilling stability and reduce electrode flexing, especially when using long, small diameter electrodes.
