Our partnership with Mitsubishi allows us to offer cutting-edge Wire EDM, Sinker EDM, and EDM Hole Drilling solutions to our valued customers across Minnesota and beyond. Let’s explore the world of Mitsubishi Electric EDM Technology and see how these innovative machines can revolutionize your manufacturing processes.
Wire EDM: Precision Cutting for Complex Shapes
Mitsubishi Electric’s Wire EDM machines are at the forefront of precision cutting technology. We offer a range of models created to meet the diverse needs of our customers, from small job shops to large production facilities.
MV Series: Power and Precision Combined
The MV Series is Mitsubishi’s flagship line of Wire EDM machines, known for their outstanding speed and performance. These machines feature:
- Intuitive, user-friendly controls
- Internal designs that reduce wear and tear
- Minimized downtime and maintenance costs
One of our most popular models is the MV1200-R Advance Plus M800 Wire EDM. This machine works perfectly for applications requiring ±0.0001″ tolerance and can produce a 4Ra finish (optional). What sets it apart is its incredibly low cost of operation, making it an excellent investment for businesses looking to maximize their ROI.
Tubular Shaft Motor Technology
Mitsubishi’s Wire EDMs utilize advanced tubular shaft motor technology, which provides several benefits:
- Improved accuracy and surface finish
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Better energy efficiency
This technology, combined with Mitsubishi’s proprietary control systems, makes sure our customers can achieve the highest levels of precision and productivity.
Sinker EDM: Shaping the Future of Mold Making
Sinker EDM, known as ram EDM or die-sinking EDM, is a crucial technology for creating precise cavities and complex shapes. Mitsubishi Electric’s Sinker EDM machines are created to meet the most demanding requirements of modern manufacturing.
SG Series: AI-Powered Performance
The SG Series of Sinker EDMs incorporates Mitsubishi Electric’s AI technology (Maisart) and the M800 Series Control System. These advanced features allow for:
- Ultra-low electrode wear
- High productivity
- Optimized performance
- Reduced electrical consumption
- Accurate machining time estimation
For example, the SG12 Sinker EDM is a next-generation machine that leverages AI to balance ultra-low wear with high productivity. This makes it an ideal choice for manufacturers working with challenging materials or complex geometries.
Precision and Versatility
Sinker EDM technology excels in creating precise blind cavities through controlled electric sparks. Some key advantages include:
- Ability to machine complex shapes with custom-created electrodes
- No mechanical forces acting on the workpiece, ideal for delicate parts
- Tolerances as low as 0.0001 inches (0.00254 mm)
- Suitable for creating injection molds, dies, and intricate components
At Iron Machine Tool, we work closely with our customers to determine the best Sinker EDM solution for their specific applications, making sure they get the most value from their investment.
EDM Hole Drilling: Precision Meets Efficiency
Mitsubishi Electric’s EDM Hole Drilling machines offer a unique solution for creating small, precise holes in a wide range of materials. This technology is particularly valuable in industries such as aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and automotive.
Key Features of Mitsubishi EDM Hole Drilling Machines
- High-speed drilling capabilities
- Ability to create holes as small as 0.1 mm in diameter
- Suitable for drilling at acute angles to the surface
- Ideal for hard or heat-sensitive materials
The EDM hole drilling process uses a tubular electrode, typically made of brass or copper, to create holes through electrical discharge. This method allows for:
- Precise hole placement and sizing
- Minimal heat-affected zone
- Ability to drill through hardened materials
- Creation of deep holes with high aspect ratios
We offer a range of EDM Hole Drilling machines to suit various production needs, from small-scale prototyping to high-volume manufacturing.
