Standard of high quality molybdenum wire cut edm
Molybdenum wire cut machine is a machine cuts conductive materials by the electric spark between mo-wire and work-piece.It’s widely used in mould machining,processing metal,etc.
Users of wedm all want to buy a high performance and low cost wire cutting machine.They can decide which wire cut edm to buy after visiting the mechanical and mould exhibition,introduction of their friends in the same field,and inspect the wire edm in the manufacture’s workshop.but many users still feel that the performance of machine is not satisfied and price is not real.The reasons are two:A.Supplier salesman tend to exaggerate during sales resulting in high customer expectations,After using,they find that is not real;B.Customers only inspect the work-pieces quality and technical indicators of limit supplier offered,and not put forward their own acceptance requirements.As users,are not the wire cut industry practitioners after all.Few have enough special expertise to tell.
I’ll introduce the wire edm users several standards for the wire cutting machine.there are general several :brand,equipment,appearance,technical indicators.First,many famous brands are not depending on high quality and complete services,but using various of marketing,exhibition,video and making up stories by internet in china.Such enterprises have no core technology,but get many fake certifications from fake trade associations.A lot of customers all over the world do not know these.So the brand has a low weight in this criterion.Second,configuration is important.A quality wire cut edm often has good configurations including work-table ball screw,linear guide-way,code of casting,and electronic components of high frequency power supply and driving power.that are the keys for quality of wire edm machines.Third,Appearance.One side the machine looks nice,the other side that good design of appearance can keep wire edm machine clean and tidy.
In the end ,Technical indicators is the most core.including three indicators: processing speed,surface roughness and working accuracy.The customers want to buy wire cutting machines, must try your material on the supplier’s machines.If you need the cutting efficiency,you can process five to ten pieces constantly not one piece ,and calculate the average machining efficiency.Surface roughness is affected by many factors:pulse power supply,tracking,guide pulley,wire drum,and working-fluid etc.The test method is simple,use your own material to cut octagon and square on supplier’s machine.and you can machine it multiply,or machine it with different currents and parameters.Then you can get multiple cutting roughness work-piece,and check whether the roughness is even on a single piece.If you process the plastic molds,you can directly process a large area work-piece on supplier’s machine,though it needs more time to cut.That makes it easy to test the performance of the wire cut edm.
Two testing methods to accuracy for wire cutting machine.I. Cr12 quenched steel,60mm thickness,is processed 15 circle shape pieces diameter 15mm continuously,and we use the micrometer to measure the precision of the pieces;II. Processing nine located holes along the 300 to 400mm square tracking on the metal material.Three times processing to every hole.After doing that,the accuracy of each hole and position accuracy of holes are measured with a CMM.According the standard of wire cut edm machine GB2008,each hole’s accuracy is less than 0.01mm,and the max.position accuracy of hole is less than 0.023mm.
The above several testing methods are our company’s experience of wire cutting machine for many years.And the major users to share.These are the testing methods before buying.But a wire cut edm with good reputation still needs a good service after sale.In china,those good brands companies have produced high quality machines and offered fine services to customers.
