Software Simulates Automation On Stand-Alone Mitsubishi Lasers
 DiamondMine automation software, which is designed exclusively for Mitsubishi Laser by Ncell Automation, is said to increase overall efficiency by giving shop owners real-time production feedback on their stand-alone lasers. The software standard provides snapshots of operations and processes in real-time so owners and shop floor operators can monitor and adjust machine performance and proactively remove non-value-added processes.

Mitsubishi EDM Partners With Community College
Aspiring engineers, designers, toolmakers and other students at Oakland Community College (Auburn Hills, Michigan) will have the opportunity to train on the latest Mitsubishi wire and CNC sinker EDM machines. Through a new partnership with Mitsubishi EDM, the college’s Advanced Technology Center will integrate the company’s EDM technology into its Robotics/Automated System curriculum.

Waterjet Features Easy-To-Operate CNC
Mitsubishi Waterjet’s DX series is equipped with the Mitsubishi 700 series CNC, which is said to provide advanced programming capabilities for high-precision machining and improved productivity. The unit is controlled on a 15" waterproof screen, with improved graphics and NC designed to simplify operation.

Automated Cell Combines Wire EDM, Waterjet Technologies
Mitsubishi’s MD+CELL combines the MD+PROII wire EDM with a Suprema DX44 waterjet for high speed and precision in one automated unit, minimizing operator intervention and maximizing unattended run time. The MD+CELL employs a Mitsubishi MELFA six-axis robot to transfer rough-cut pieces from the waterjet to EDM machine for finishing.

EDMs, Waterjets For Precision Machining
The FA10S Advance wire EDM features an M700 series Mitsubishi control. The Windows-based system with 15" LCD touchscreen display provides a simple menu configuration for easy navigation, the company says. The machine features 3D adaptive EDM control, which can analyze 3D data and recognize shape characteristics virtually eliminate transition lines in stepped workpiece areas.

Uniform Control For All Product Lines
The Mitsubishi 700 series CNC is said to deliver advanced programming capabilities for high-precision machining and high productivity. All of the company’s product lines now incorporate this control, which is designed to allow greater compatibility between machines and to reduce the learning curve for machinists transitioning to new technologies. The unit is controlled on a 15" LCD touchscreen display.

Laser Technology Reduces Rise/Fall Time Of Square Wave Pulse
Mitsubishi Laser’s LVP LUSII offers performance-enhancing features such as 40CF-R resonator technology, which reduces rise time/fall time of square wave pulse. This is said to provide more consistent beam power during the cutting process and deliver a more consistent edge quality. Additionally, the uniform low-cur

Big EDM Seals The Deal
Submerged cutting of large workpieces such as honeycomb seals for jet engines calls for a larger capacity wire cut machine.

New Version Of EDM For Medical Components, Small Parts

Under One Roof
In bringing multiple manufacturing processes in-house, this medical shop parallels its customers' efforts to be one-stop sources for hospital equipment.

Meeting Production Requirements For Medical
You might think that medical manufacturing always calls for complicated machine tools with lots of high-tech features for applications where no expense can be spared. This is not true. Medical manufacturing is often about economical production, where affordability, reliability and compactness are key values.

Running EDM Economically
Many shops are taking a closer look at the cost of operating a machine tool. How much energy does it consume? Does it create excessive heat, making the shop air conditioning work harder? Does it stretch the life of cutting tools and consumables?

EDM And Automation: Not "Oil And Water" Any Longer
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) was developed in the 1940's, used sparingly for burning out broken taps and dies until the 1970's, then utilized for single part operations, moldmaking and punch-die production in small lots until about ten years ago. This is when the first CNC versions emerged from several manufacturers, including Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi was said to lead primarily because they were the only EDM builder who also built their own machine controllers (through a sister division of the company). Today, CNC and manual machines are still produced, with several thousand units sold each year.

As a manufacturer of high volume, precision custom metal stampings for the automotive, computer, farm implement and household appliance markets, this company maintains a substantial in house die making department, empowered by EDM.

Anti-Electrolysis Developments In Wire EDM
Originally, wire EDM had two things going against it. It was slow, and often it left an undesirable surface finish. In the last few years, wire EDM builders have fixed the speed problem. Now they're well on their way to fixing thesurface finish problem.
