Brian Pfluger, Makino EDM product line manager, discusses a new process optimization feature available for the Hyper-i control for wire EDM machines. The wire EDM Plane Find 3D function enables users to establish a level workpiece plane for non-level machining surfaces. This video demonstrates how the data is collected and calculated to find that plane using an indicator that locates the top of the Z-axis plane to then adjust the UV axis wire to be perpendicular with the workpiece. This is just one of several intuitive functions available on the Hyper-i control that boosts productivity, enhances part quality and reduces wire consumption.
