博客:我们对 EDM 行业的看法 - Erodex 英国公司销售经理 Andrew McFarlane

2022 年已经过去一半,因此我们认为现在是时候与 Erodex 英国销售经理 Andrew McFarlane 进行交流,了解他对 EDM 行业的最新看法,特别是 Erodex 如何帮助客户获得领先优势。

发布了多种新产品,与客户建立了合作伙伴关系,以帮助降低单件成本,甚至还推出了新网站,因此有很多事情要做。

在此,我们了解到 Andy 的五大最新动态:

1 - Fast Hole Tubing 推出新网站

www.fastholetubing.com专门提供用于快速钻孔的 100% 流量测试精密管材。

  • 按最高质量标准制造的黄铜和铜管
  • 100% 流量测试
  • 包装前进行清洁和干燥,以确保无氧化和堵塞。
  • 可提供外径超过 0.1 毫米/0.00391 英寸、长度达 900 毫米/35.433 英寸的任何尺寸
  • 已通过全球航空航天原始设备和机床制造商的认证。

2 - 使用 Betterbrass 提高性能,降低成本

Erodex stock an unbeatable range of EDM wire, enabling us to provide the perfect solution for your application. Using our experience and expert engineers, we work closely with you to ensure optimum performance is achieved.

Most recently, our customers have been hugely impressed with the performance of Betterbrass, a next generation special alloy brass wire from Bedra (Berkenhoff) Germany.

Customers are experiencing less downtime due to fewer wire breaks, better threading and reduced cycle time – sometimes up to 20% depending on the machine and the operator.

3 - Erodex 支持客户 "降低每个部件的成本

Erodex 一直在为航空航天和工业燃气轮机领域的客户提供支持,"降低单件成本 "计划的重点是 EDM 模具下沉。这包括与客户合作,利用 Erodex 工程师的专业知识提高 EDM 流程的效率、提高生产率、减少报废零件和缩短周期时间。

在降低成本非常重要的今天,我们知道我们可以帮助客户实现这一目标。

我们与客户合作,研究零件的数量、尺寸、机器以及公司希望实现的目标,并能够为每个客户确定和帮助实施定制的交钥匙解决方案,优化他们的端到端流程。迄今为止,这包括重新设计夹具、工具架以及就电极的重新设计提供建议。

这些解决方案使客户减少了生产零件所需的机器数量,缩短了设置时间,提高了 "首次正确率",并通过从铜到石墨的转换大大缩短了生产周期。

4 - 正确选择石墨也可降低能耗

在与客户的合作中,我们发现如果一家公司使用的是竞争对手的石墨等级,他们可能需要制作 2 到 3 个电极来沉孔,而如果改用 Poco,他们可以减少电极的制作数量,但仍然可以获得相同的沉孔数量。

如果一家公司可以减少 2-3 个小时的电极制作时间,他们将从降低加工成本中获益,从而降低该零件的能源和其他相关成本。在能源价格处于历史最高水平的时期,这种好处(虽然对提高生产率来说是次要的)得到了积极响应。

5 - 推出更多新产品

Erodex 将继续推出更多新产品,巩固我们在放电加工耗材领域的市场领先地位。

请关注我们的新产品更新,如线切割机床的夹紧导轨、用于工件夹持的启动包以及用于沉模机床的电极夹持。

“So far, we have held a workplace event to engage employees and introduce the initiatives. From this we gained expressions of interest in services offered by the organisations.
