EDM Drilling Machine for Perforated Dies
February 1, 2016
Current EDM's RT1800 EDM drilling machine is built for perforated dies and similar applications. This model features a Siemens 840D control and 57 peak amp (0.004" - 0.256" diameter electrodes) power supply. XYZ travels are 72" x 12" x 16" and table capacity is 2,500 lbs. An optional 120" X-axis travel is available.
Current EDM recently upgraded the Siemens 840D control to handle tough EDM drilling applications. Features include expandable memory, program 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 RT1800 can be configured with a 24-station tool changer. Teach pendant software capability enables programming and operation from the pendant.
Power supply and software upgrades enable drilling with less side wear at the tip of the electrode, resulting in more consistent depth, diameter and faster drilling speeds. The automatic electrode changer has been upgraded to speed electrode exchanges and optimize electrode usage. The enhanced programmable servo control, with advanced gap sensing, is designed to improve drilling stability and reduce electrode flexing, especially when using long, small diameter electrodes.
