The Exeron 316 Sinker EDM features heavy-ribbed and welded construction for added strength and stability. Digital AC servo direct drives and glass scales provide maximum travel and control dynamics in all axes. The ability to raise and lower the tank, when filled, provides greater access to the workpiece while saving time by not having to fill and empty the tank.

The Exeron 316 Sinker EDM machines are available exclusively through YCM Technology as part of the YCM Alliance, which includes YCM Machine Tools (milling, turning and wire EDM), TriMill Machine Tools (gantry-type portal milling), Exeron (sinker EDM and ultra-high-speed milling) and KMC (head changing milling).

The promise of running a wire EDM for long stretches without much operator attention is enticing, but many shops never manage to pull this off. Here are tips to make it happen, as offered by Mark Cicchetti, EDM technical director for Absolute Machine Tool’s Accutex EDM product line.
