Let your EDM machines do the production

we‘ll take care of the measurement.

Do you still clamp electrodes and workpieces and align them manually? Do you achieve a maximum of 1000 erosion hours per year and thus tie down a specialist completely?

Eroding, manual alignments and measurement on an EDM machine means longer machine downtime, long setup times, inaccurate results and inefficient processes.

Manual presetting and measurement on the CMM

ZEISS DuraMax vs. EDM machine – a direct comparison

Manual offset measurement on the EDM machine

The offset of electrodes and workpieces often is still measured directly on the EDM machine. But this method poses problems. While the EDM machine is measuring the offset, it is not producing any parts.

Because this measurement on the EDM machine takes a lot of time, the productivity of the machine decreases drastically. The accuracy of the measurement is less precise in direct comparison to a coordinate measuring machine. The quality of the workpiece thus decreases.

A ZEISS solution for your production that pays off

Manual measurement on a coordinate measuring machine already pays off with your first EDM machine: shorter setup times, considerably longer machine running times, increasing throughput and the generation of quality data increase your overall productivity.

The offset data are transferred directly to the EDM machine.
The CMM thus enables the EDM machine to achieve a much higher degree of utilization while at the same time decreasing production and investment costs.
