Magnetic Filters Cut Down EDM Machine Problems

EDM machines offer precision accuracy, however, the process can be challenging. It is vital that the machine's systems are equally efficient, especially it's fluid management and filter efficiency. This is where magnetic filters come in as it is capable of filtering fine-particles and micron-sized particles from dielectric fluids in EDM machines which makes sure that the fluid is clean and protected from contamination.

New user interface for effective collision avoidance

Intelligent software algorithms are essential for real-time collision avoidance, but they are only half the story. The other half is a well-designed user interface that enables operators to drive the software effectively. In their latest cooperation Module Works, technology providers for digital manufacturing solutions, and the Chiron Group, CNC machine tool manufacturers, put operator experience at the center of a new GUI for the Module Works Collision Avoidance System (CAS).
