Watch High Energy Applied Technology (HEAT) Makino demonstrates the latest techniques and technologies in High Energy Applied Technology (HEAT). HEAT smokes the Wire EDM competition in poor flushing conditions, cutting parts 35% to 50% faster while holding tolerances of form and straightness to .0002" with one roughing pass.

This is a great little chart here that shows not only do we gain that speed but we also have a tolerance that's over two hundred millimeters, we are looking at five microns. So not only does our cutting speed increase but also we are maintaining this with superior accuracy.

This is another chart that compares us directly to our customer's fasters or, excuse me our competitor's fastest cutting speed. So you can see where we are compared to our competitors. We don't name our competitors, as you can see it's A B C and D. We just took a snapshot of their technology that they provide the customers and then compare it to our HEAT technology.

This is a traditional comparison. Steel a hundred and fifty millimeters thick, which is about six inches. You can see the shape that we were trying to hold and our nozzles were detached, meaning that they were not directly on the piece by about eight millimeters above and below. So you can see in the traditional sense we are at about nineteen hours and fifty-two minutes and we had about one thousandths taper. Where we've cut that with utilizing our HEAT technology down to about ten hours and nine minutes and our straightness went to four microns, which is about a tenth and a half per side and you're looking at a fifty percent speed increase. So it's truly you know some huge gains as a result of our HEAT technology.
