Vision technology tailored to ram EDM allows shops to measure a part as it remains fixtured on a spark-erosion machine.

Mitsubishi Brings Manufacturing to America
Beginning in early 2009, MC Machinery Systems will manufacture all machines in the Mitsubishi Waterjet line in the United States. The company says its new waterjet facility in Wixom, Michigan, will help control costs, allowing the machines to be priced more competitively. Additionally, the company says that facility’s close proximity to its corporate headquarters in Chicago will ensure better quality control and enable faster upgrades and modifications to machine design.

Room To Grow
This wire EDM job shop in Wisconsin acquired a submerged cutting wire machine that lets it handle larger, taller workpieces than just about any other job shop in the country. The new machine has a “column-up” option that adds a riser block between the X-axis saddle and the Z-axis column casting to give it exceptionally tall cutting capacity. The machine was installed in November 2007.

A Highly Complementary Combo
Wire EDM and abrasive waterjet go together well, especially for cutting aluminum.
