Mitsubishi's Medical Area Highlights Waterjet and Wire EDM Technology
Share:
Medical manufacturing is a fast-growing, lucrative market sector. The accelerating pace of medical breakthroughs, miniaturization in medicine and baby boomers entering their 60s have combined to fuel strong demand for high-quality who are shops able to deliver precision parts at competitive prices.
The booth's medical area will feature an automated cell simulating the use of Waterjet and Wire EDM technology in the production parts process. Equipment to be demonstrated includes the MD+Cell Wire EDM with Mitsubishi Robot and Waterjet Suprema 4-axis Waterjet.
Mitsubishi's MD+PRO is ideal for 24/7 production work in medical manufacturing. This wire EDM machine combines the quality and reliability Mitsubishi is known for with the high speed and precision required by medical manufacturing. The machine comes standard with .006"~ .012" wire capable automatic threading, and is capable of a full servo B-axis indexing option, allowing for turn-n-burn application.
The 4-axis Waterjet Suprema's software features Intelligent Tapering Control, which corrects the natural tapering of the cut automatically. Through the CNC it inclines the water jet up to ± 6 degrees while pointing the jet towards the cutting direction. This process allows for the optimum cutting speed in a contour and accurate wall straightness.
