Irregular-Shape Drilling of Spherical and Curved Automotive Parts

For multi-cavity fine hole drilling on materials such as hard alloy steels to powder metallurgy materials, the Ocean Tech River 600 5-axis CNC EDM drill from Methods Machine Tools significantly reduces wear, with shorter burn times and reduced energy consumption.

Posted: December 5, 2018

Using patented break-thru detection and CAM software with TCP for accurate, easy program generation for complex 5-axis workpieces, the Ocean Tech River 600 5-axis CNC EDM drill from Methods Machine Tools performs multi-cavity programmable fine hole drilling from 0.004 in to 0.25 in on materials such as hard alloy steels to powder metallurgy materials.

Methods Machine Tools, Inc. (Sudbury, MA) offers the mid-size River 600 5-axis CNC EDM drill from Ocean Technologies Ltd. Inc. (Wufeng, Taiwan) that is ideal for irregular-shape drilling of automotive parts. It provides multi-cavity programmable drilling, patented break-thru detection and Ocean CAM software that utilizes TCP for accurate and easy program generation for complex 5-axis workpieces. This high quality, cost effective EDM Drill uses a proprietary HP1+ Power Supply for significantly reduced wear and shorter burn times, while reducing energy consumption. It can drill fine holes from 0.004 in to 0.25 in, even in spherical and curved workpieces, on materials such as hard alloy steels to powder metallurgy materials. E-Learning software allows new operators to easily run the machine or seasoned operators to review processes on the fly.
