EDM Automation

Automation is transforming EDM manufacturing, allowing customers to boost throughput while optimizing resources. On our production floor, we’ve seen firsthand how high-end automation solutions for metalworking, like OPS Ingersoll 5-Axis systems and Roku-Roku high-speed vertical milling machines, streamline electrode production and replacement. Pair these with robots, and you’ve got a lights-out operation running smoothly—loading, cutting, and unloading workpieces automatically in rapid succession.

For Wire EDM, automated solutions take it further, ensuring performance meets even the most demanding client needs. Whether it’s linear or rotary changers with multiple positions, the right machine automation solutions minimize downtime while handling large or heavy electrodes with precision. The result? Efficient, autonomous machines that maximize hours of uninterrupted production, slashing costs and enhancing process optimization.

Single Machine Automation Solutions

Automated EDM transforms production through flexible, customizable designs that adapt to any machine. Our off-the-shelf part loaders offer a quick, easy path to automated palletization, proving machine automation solutions work for all machinery and automation needs.

Dual Machine Automation Solutions

Automated EDM systems keep machines supplied through fast, flexible palletization options that are fitted for any operation. These solutions work seamlessly with graphite/hard milling, sinker EDMs, and wire EDMs, cutting changeover times by 60% while handling both production batches and precision parts.

Flexible Robots

Machine automation solutions deliver game-changing benefits for fine-detail work, where dynamic, customizable robotics transform precision automation. These solutions excel in complex EDM applications we've tested, maintaining micron-level accuracy even during extended production runs.

Linear Systems

Advanced EDM automation delivers fully automated, end-to-end solutions that revolutionize your production package. We've seen these systems work wonders in optimizing every area of the part selection process, finding smarter ways to handle components that used to bottleneck operations.
