            <description>

ROBOFORM 350 and 550 utilize GammaTEC to meet quality, finish, and time requirements in modification manufacturing portion of design process. Maintaining surface quality of molds, use of GammaTEC results in minimal electrode wear, avoiding need for hand polishing. This technology shortens discharge ignition time, resulting in increased frequency of erosive discharges; accelerates EDM-Process; and produces homogeneous diffusion of spark energy.
