Manufacturing technology

MC Machinery’s featured machines at IMTS 2022 include: Sinker EDMs – With artificial intelligence (AI) adaptive control technology, the SV12P and SG12 sinker EDMs optimize performance, improve productivity, reduce electrical consumption, and take the guesswork out of estimating machining time. The AI technology makes logical use of condition-monitoring data. The new machines can diagnose real-time problems within the burn and directly modify specific parameters allowing machine operators to produce quality results in complex cavities and shapes. It reduces overall electrode wear and costs because the AI technology analyzes current sensor data to determine optimal conditions.

The Gantry Eagle 800 sinker EDM is best in class for large-part and molding applications, featuring low electrode wear and fast cycle times. The series has on-board components designed to reduce wear and tear, decreasing maintenance and costly downtime. It has a large, easy-to-access working area requiring less floor space than other sinker EDM models.

Wire EDMs – The MV1200-R wire EDM features the latest machine construction, submerged threading, fiber optic machine communication, and power supply technology. The MV-R series is dependable and easy to use, spurring increased productivity and efficiency.

The MV2400-R wire EDM is for a wide range of applications, featuring a larger tank capacity and low operational costs. The MV-R series features improvements in machine construction, auto-threading, internal machine communication, and power supply technology. It includes a reliable non-contact cylindrical drive system on the X, Y, U, and V axis drives.

The MV4800-S wire EDM is ideal for large part applications up to 20" high (standard), and 32" (optional) and can perform submerged cutting up to 20" deep. With an annealing length of over 27", this system is capable of threading through the workpiece both at the start point and through the gap.

The MX600 Oil Advance Plus wire EDM combines machine accuracy and surface finish with wire capability down to 0.0008" (0.02mm) Dia. It features a nano-pulse power supply and DMX-S super digital control sensor, specifically shaping each spark producing surface finishes down to 1.6µ" Ra. The machine advances micro-machining capabilities.

Precision milling – The Roku HC658II is a full-bridge style design for accuracy, and each surface is hand scraped. The 32,000rpm spindle makes it ideal for high-precision manufacturing and mold industry customers.

The ANDROID II linear drive milling machine is designed for hard steel and carbide machining with accuracies within ±1µm. It boosts productivity on high-precision jobs, simultaneously delivering accuracy, quality, precision, and speed with a 60,000rpm spindle.

The Ingersoll Eagle V550 graphite machining center has a compact design and features high-speed, high-precision five-axis machining for small graphite electrodes and mold/die components.

Public beta of Mastercam 2023

Morph, parallel, along curve, and project curve are no longer individual toolpaths in Mastercam 2023. The unified toolpath allows access to cut patterns when you add appropriate curves. To create a toolpath that morphs between two surfaces, select Unified from the multi-axis toolpaths, and then set the cut pattern to two surfaces with the morph style.

The dynamic OptiRough and area roughing toolpaths can now be aware of undercut stock conditions, resulting in improvement to the toolpath motion, including less air cutting.

Mastercam 2023 introduces a new toolpath to the turning suite for the mill-turn product. B-Axis contour turning is a finishing toolpath allowing for rotation of the B-axis while the tool is cutting. The toolpath features a top-down workflow and provides users with automatic or manual motion control. Automatic mode produces safe toolpath motion that keeps inserts in contact with the contour. Manual mode offers full control over the B-axis angles along the contour.
