What Causes Hot Runner Leaks?
Most systems don’t leak because of poor design, but instead because they are operated outside of their designed operating window. […]
General Cleaning Importance in wire EDM
Good cleaning habits and care of a wire EDM machine is highly recommended. Regular and systematic cleaning of the machine also can extend the life of some consumable items. Care should be taken when selecting a cleaner. […]
Long interval items vary in wire EDM
1) Machine Filters: Replacement of the main water filters will be required and should be performed as needed (most machines will typically generate an alarm when the filters are depleted). Replacement intervals are purely dictated by the type of work, workpiece material and thickness, and applications being performed. […]
Short interval items vary in occurrence in wire EDM
1) Automatic Wire Threading System: The automatic wire threading (AWT) system performs the threading of the wire via a water jet column. It is the single most important automated feature on a wire EDM machine. […]
EDM’s Effect on Surface Finish and Integrity
Surface finish and integrity are two different facets of the cavity quality, but both play an important part in the characteristics of the mold. Much as the machine parameters affect the integrity of the sub-layers of the cavity, […]
Workpiece Characteristics in EDM process
The spark intensity is not the only determining factor affecting the surface integrity. This also is dependent on the thermal conductivity of the work metal. High thermally conductive metals will usually have a smaller white layer and less microcracking than a lower conductive material. […]
We need design consultant in mold design
Today’s marketplace demands short schedules and innovative designs that push the envelope on existing manufacturing techniques. […]
Design consultants Know What Each Side Wants
Remember that on some projects a design consultant may prefer to pre-select a moldmaker or molder in order to meet a tight schedule or to ensure they have specific technical skills. […]
Design consultant Shows What You Can do
When you or your reps call on design consultants, make sure you bring examples that highlight what differentiates you. Be upfront about typical leadtimes and costs. […]
Design consultant Offers Design Review
Even experienced designers like to run tricky tooling details by moldmakers long before the project will be quoted. Mold-makers don’t really have a lot of time to study an entire design, […]
