IMTS Product Focus 76 MoldMaking Technology —— AUGUST 2016 Small Sinker EDM Enables Multiple Machine Setup Belmont's MX-220 Drop Tank, part of the company's Maxicut ZNC series of sinker EDMs, features a compact footprint of 56" x 104" and a paint-to-paint design that enables mul- tiple machine setup. The machine is built with a fixed table, with no X-Y motion, and utilizes die-set fixturing. Z-axis travel is 5.9" and is supplemented by a back slide with 7.8" of additional travel for flexibility. Available open height is 17.7". The EDM is equipped with one-button cycle-start operation, after which it automatically executes the production cycle. The work tank raises and fills, the electrode auto-zeros on the workpiece, and the machine EDMs to a programmed depth. At the end of the cycle, the Z axis retracts and the tank drains, ready for the operator to load the next part. The machine uses an auxiliary fast-fill pump in addition to the flush pump to promote increased production and reduced fill time. Cycle time to fill the tank is 30 sec., with 4 sec. to drain the work tank. A linear glass scale can interface with such ancillary devices as rotary and tilt/rotary tables, indexers, and workpiece handling systems.
