Sinker EDM Complements Mold and Die, General Parts Machining Applications

YCM Technology (USA) Inc. announces the latest in its lineup of application-based machining solutions, the exeron 316 sinker EDM machine. The new release complements an array of comprehensive machining solutions developed for mold and die and general parts machining associated with medical equipment, automotive, aerospace, defense and energy applications.

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 machine, offered through the YCM Alliance, boasts high-precision, single-digit micron tolerances, and what is said to be one of the largest work envelopes in its class. Supporting parts up to 17,000 lbs on a 68.9" × 53.1" table, and a travel of (X) 59.1" × (Y) 46.5" × (Z) 31.5", the sinker EDM is efficient, flexible and reliable.

The exeron 316 Sinker EDM is also built to last with heavy ribbed and welded construction for added strength and stability. Digital AC servo direct drives and glass scales are said to 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, since users don’t need to fill and empty the tank.

The YCM Alliance program is solution-focused; like-minded machine tool brands, dealers and solution matter experts work together to supply application-based systems designed to help customers improve processes, quality, and overall machining productivity. Participating YCM Alliance partners subscribe to a common assessment process designed to better understand each customer’s unique requirements, challenges and goals. The result is a comprehensive solution that takes into consideration process, machine types, configuration, special layout, financing, cost justification and return on investment (ROI).
