Mitsubishi Demos Technology that Keeps Die/Mold Makers Globally Competitive


The domestic die/mold industry is now facing a global market, making this traditionally competitive business even tougher. Die/mold makers must focus on targeting niche markets and developing specialized products, materials, processes and customer knowledge in order to survive in today's market - and compete on value instead of cost.

The booth's die/mold area will feature automated combinations of wire and sinker EDM machines designed specifically to maximize flexibility and efficiency for die/mold makers. Equipment to be demonstrated includes an automated EA12V Sinker EDM and HC-658 Roku-Roku, FA10PS and FA10S Wire EDM and a CNC EDM Drill.

The EA12V Sinker has a space-saving footprint and a multi-position work tank, allowing the operator to set up while circulating the dielectric fluid. The E.S.P.E.R. II software can easily create programs for measuring, power settings for burning, and orbital paths for finishing.

Roku-Roku's HC-658 High-Speed Vertical Machining Center provides a multi-purpose design unsurpassed for the high-speed machining of mold steels and graphite electrodes. Its one-piece box style cast base and mono-block column and crossbeam support provides excellence in quality and rigidity.
