Customers continually demand shorter production cycle times, higher quality and lower prices. These pressures force companies to improve and rationalize development and production. We can show significant economic advantages with the use of an advanced CNC machine to manufacture graphite electrodes for Electric Discharge Machining (EDM). The PREMIUM 4030µ Graphite is based on a unique, highly advanced, reconfigurable CNC machine which has been optimised for milling graphite electrodes. There are many significant economic advantages from using graphite to fabricate electrodes, but high accuracy is essential. To meet the accuracy requirements of the production process of electrodes path breaking technology issues were considered in the machine concept: HSC (high speed cutting) milling technology (solid machine base, most modern linear motor technology, fastest control technology), dust removal and clamping technology, measuring technique.
