Brief Introduction of Japanese Mold EDM Equipment

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a processing method that converts electrical energy into thermal energy to melt metal. It is discharged into the gap of several micrometers between the workpiece and the tool (electrode) and gently scrapes the metal under heat and impact exceeding 6000°C. B...

How to Improve Aluminum Profile Extrusion Output Through Temperature Control

In aluminum profile extrusion production, if there is no unscheduled downtime, the maximum output is mainly determined by the extrusion speed, and the latter is constrained by four factors, three of which are fixed while one is variable. The first factor is the extrusion force of the press. A pre...
