On-machine probing for sinker EDM: touch the point and measure it in place.
- 2D and 3D inspection reports generated automatically
- Fast probe clamping, accuracy to plus or minus 0.002 mm
- Fits Mitsubishi, Makino, GF AgieCharmilles, Sodick, Hanbai, Taiyi and similar machines
Why probe on the machine
It replaces CMM checking for many jobs, which shortens the mould build cycle and raises machining throughput.
Rising labour cost in Chinese manufacturing, and particularly in mould making, has made output per operator and machining efficiency the limiting factors. Automated mould production is the practical answer.
Our EDM on-machine measuring package was developed with a Singapore university research group and has been applied successfully on Makino, AgieCharmilles, Mitsubishi, Sodick, Taiyi and Hanbai machines.
Benefits
- The workpiece stays on the machine, so re-clamping, re-alignment and edge finding are eliminated
- Probe results feed MES mould management, CNC automation, CMM automation and EDM automation directly
- Deviations are found before the part comes off the machine, so rework and scrap drop
