EDM AND HSC – SYNERGY IN TOOL AND MOLD MAKING
A drastic change has taken place in tool and mold making. In practically no other area are the traces of globalization as obvious as in this branch of industry. Many wage-intensive jobs have been transferred to Eastern Europe and Asia and new technologies have been introduced. Purposefully utilizing the key technologies, electrical discharge machining and milling, is therefore equally relevant for manufacturers and users of such machines.
NEW DIE SINKING AND WIRE EDM MACHINES
FORM 2000 AND 3000. This die sinking EDM series from GF AgieCharmilles redefines precision and performance boundaries in die sinking EDM. FORM 2000 and 3000 are specially geared towards the requirements of exacting manufacturers, who produce everything from micro-electronic parts and complex telecommunications components to connector assemblies requiring extreme precision and multiple cavities.
FORM 20 AND 30. GF AgieCharmilles takes a great interest in ensuring the success of its customers and this is emphasized by the introduction of the new FORM 20 and FORM 30 die sinking EDM machine series. The main focus is on production efficiency, reliability and user-friendliness.
CUT 20. The new wire EDM machine gives priority to machining speed and cost effectiveness and offers a standard level of accuracy and surface quality for applications, for which production costs are frequently a more important criterion than extreme precision.
NEW MIKRON HPM MILLING MACHINE SERIES
MIKRON HPM 600, 900 UND 1200. The newly developed, three-axis machining centers are, due to their strong and robust construction, particularly well suited to machining in the HPC (High Performance Cutting) field and stand out due to their less than 2-second tool change.
PIECE BY PIECE MACHINED PRECISION
For over 25 years, Oberdorfer Maschinenfabrik AG has developed, produced and assembled prototypes, devices, parts, components and finished appliances. The company from Toggenburg is a professional partner for CNC-manufactured turning workpieces made from all materials as well as for cubic workpieces in small, medium to large series production, which OMB produces ready-to-install on the most up-to-date CNC machining centers. For implementation of demanding projects, it has an innovative design department and a highly-productive jig and prototype manufacturing department.
EDM CELL FREES UP TIME
The production range of Gebr. Bräm AG encompasses prototype manufacturing, production of single and series production parts as well as cutting dies, molds, devices and special purpose machines, for which the Swiss company uses EDM cells as the key technology for precision.
NEW DEFINITION OF CRANKSETS THROUGH INNOVATION
The company Campagnolo S.r.l. develops, produces and sells top-of-the-range components for racing bicycles. It is represented in over 30 countries by five branch offices and nine agencies. About 400 people are employed at the headquarters in Vicenza. Since March 2003 the group also includes the company Campagnolo Sportswear S.r.l., which designs, develops, manufactures and markets technical sportswear bearing the Campagnolo trademark for cyclists.
DIE SINKING AND WIRE CUTTING EDM MANUFACTURING CELLS
Magnetfabrik Schramberg is one of the leading manufacturers in Europe of permanent magnets and sub-assemblies used in motorcars, in household appliances and in measuring, control, adjustment and motive-power engineering applications. The company, based in the Black Forest, promotes integrated solutions that include in-house tool-making using cost-lowering automated EDM.
COINED FOR YOU
The ambiguity is intentional. On the one hand, GF AgieCharmilles has produced this coin especially for customers and, on the other hand, our customers receive an enduring symbol of the key technologies of EDM and high-speed milling, which were used to produce the zinc die casting mold for this coin.
CUSTOMER SERVICES ENABLES CUSTOMERS’ SUCCESS
GF AgieCharmilles Customer Services is accelerating its effort to make its customers more successful than their competitors by introducing a range of enhanced services and products, all designed to increase customers’ productivity and knowledge, as well as the lives of their GF AgieCharmilles machines.
