At the IMTS show, MC Machinery Systems will display its latest technology in additive machining, wire EDM, sinker EDM, press brake, laser and milling. "Located at booth N-6825 will be multiple demos with a focus on the newest MV Series machine, MV4800 Advance, and the first metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine on the North American market, the LUMEX Avance-25," said a company spokesperson.
MV4800 Advance
Celebrating more than 10,000 EDM installs this year, Mitsubishi EDM introduces the MV4800 Advance, the latest addition to the MV Series EDM family. This machine's new features are its cylindrical drive and its increased travel, making it suited for larger part production. The MV4800 Advance features an extensive travel of 31.5 inches x 23.6 inches x 20.0 inches, and can machine workpieces up to 53.1 inches x 43.3 inches x 20.0 inches. Submerged, it can cut 20 inches deep.
Highlights of this machine include a Digital Matrix Sensor (DMX-S) and V350-V generator, which shape each spark to improve surface finish, reduce vibration and minimize electrode wear. This allows for a lower wire speed, reducing wire cost by as much as 60 percent.
Another key feature is the intelligent auto-threading systems designed to anneal up to 27 inches of wire, reducing the curl ratio to less than 10 percent.
LUMEX Avance-25
"The LUMEX Avance-25 metal laser sintering hybrid milling machine is one of the only machines in the world which relies on one-machine, one-process manufacturing of complex molds and parts by fusing metal laser sintering (3D SLS) technology with high-speed milling technology. The machine enables production of complicated parts through total manufacturing using digital engineering and 3D data," said a company spokesperson.
"The machine achieves the highest accuracy in part fabrication because metal powders are melted and sintered via laser, while surfaces are precisely milled at high speeds," said a company spokesperson.
"Metal laser sintering and milling technologies working in concert will allow engineers to think outside the box and create unique ideas, potentially triggering a departure from conventional manufacturing," said the spokesperson.
