Belmont Equipment & Technologies’ exclusive Maxicut Series ZNC EDM sinker machines have been a proven provider for the industry, including moldmaking, aerospace and production applications, the company reports.
The MX-236CW ZNC EDM Sinker features Windows control and a compact machine design. The EDM generator attached to the machine body, and an oil reservoir in the base of the machine, reduces floor space and eliminate cables on the floor. The system uses Belmont’s On-Board Technology which provides EDM settings that are selected through a user-friendly technology database.
This sinker has a footprint of 92" wide × 93" depth, with X, Y, and Z travels of 15.7" × 11.8" × 7.2", respectively. The available open height is 19.6," and a maximum workpiece weight is 2,200 lbs.
Belmont says the MX-236CW has several useful features, such as a programmable Z-axis which enables the operator to automatically control depth and generator settings from roughing to finishing cycles. Conversational G- and M-Code programing simplifies programming and makes functions easier to learn.
Additional notable attributes include a linear glass scale with 1-micron resolution and the ability to interface with ancillary devices, such as rotary tables, indexers and workpiece handling systems. Optional features include Belmont’s Adaptive Logic control which constantly guards against arcing and shorting of the electrode under poor cutting conditions.
