AccuteX EDM AU-300 Featured in Modern Machine Shop Magazine |
 | | AccuteX EDM AU-300 |
AccuteX EDM's AU-300 wire EDM was highlighted in the February 2011 publication of Modern Machine Shop magazine! The feature article, titled "Wire Rethreader Hits the Mark," discusses how the rethreading system on the AU-300 helps a U.S. manufacturer of firearms finish the opening of a critical pistol component.
The article states that, besides routine maintenance, the wire rethreading system on the AU-300 has not caused downtime or otherwise interfered with production of this critical component.
The flexibility of the AU-300 is just one of the many advantages mentioned in the article. Changing the programmed wire path is often all that is necessary to switch to another job. The AccuteX machine also has additional capacity in reserve. For example, if higher order level require it, the plain brass wire could be replaced with a premium, faster-cutting wire to increase output. A redesigned fixture that enables stacking more parts is also an option, as is adding automation. Click here to read the entire article on Modern Machine Shop's website. To learn more about the AccuteX line of CNC wire EDM machines, please contact OptiPro by calling 585-265-0160 or contact the OptiPro machine tool salesmen located in your area. | |
