AccuteX EDM, a Division of Absolute Machine Tools, Inc. recently introduced its DS-550CM Die Sinker EDM.

Contributing to its rigidity is a heavily ribbed, high-grade Meehanite casting. Premium grade components, such as precise drive system, linear bearings, class 5 pre-tensioned fine finish ballscrews, and high-resolution servo motors are used, along with roller type linear guideways, and optical scales.

Its X, Y, Z working capacity is 20 in. (50.8 cm) x 16 in. (40.6 cm) x 14 in. (35.5 cm). The work table size is 32 in. (81.2 cm) x 18 in. (45.7 cm) Maximum workpiece size is 47 in. (119.3 cm) x 27 in. (67.5 cm) x 17 in. (43.1 cm), and this machine can accommodate workpiece weights up to 2,970 lbs (1347 kg).

Options for the DS-550 for greater flexibility include a built-in C axis with 360-degree indexing, an automatic electrode changer, dielectric cooler, and custom tooling package.

Customers can perform 3-axis machining in six directions, multi-cavity, circular, square and any angle orbiting, internal/external spherical, and 45-degree corner machining. Further, the EDM can do 3-axis linear machining, 2-axis arc machining, and offers helical machining electrode compensation.

The Accutex control’s 15 in. (38.1 cm) industrial grade, LCD monitor is easy to read and in full color. Its software supports dialogue options for simple programming and operation.

AccuteX EDM is a division of Absolute Machine Tools and offers a complete line of wire and die sinker EDM equipment to manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada. AccuteX Technologies also offers machines delivering 6-axis control with 5-axis simultaneous interpolation for aerospace and medical-class operating performance.
