Our May issue’s Modern Equipment Review Spotlight highlights electric discharge machines, or EDMs, and related equipment. One standout feature among this month’s curated selections is control features. The Fuzzy-Logic control on MC Machinery Systems’ EA12PS sinker EDM improves work in no-flush machining situations, for example. Methods Machine Tools’ RoboCut series of wire EDMs use a FANUC controller that enables remote monitoring of as many as 32 machines for vital metrics.
