Plassteze's Sinker EDM Machine is engineered for toolrooms that cannot afford rework — delivering mirror-grade 0.01 Ra surface finishes directly off the machine, with a rated machining speed of up to 750 mm³/min that cuts cycle time without compromising dimensional accuracy. Built on an industrial Linux OS with power-off memory protection, it keeps unattended overnight and multi-shift machining runs safe from data loss and copyright-licensing interruptions. For die and mould manufacturers running high-cavity, high-value tooling, this is a machine designed to hold tolerance run after run, not just on the first part off the table.

Key Technical Features

• High Gloss Mirror Circuit (0.01 Ra Surface Finish): A dedicated finishing circuit that achieves a mirror-grade surface (Ra, or roughness average, measured in micrometres) directly during spark erosion, reducing or eliminating manual polishing on cosmetic and sealing surfaces.
• Max Machining Speed of 750 mm³/min: Material removal rate determines how fast a cavity or core can be roughed out before finishing passes begin — a higher mm³/min rating shortens total cycle time on deep or complex cavities.
• 5-Axis Linkage with Multi-Machine Networking: Enables simultaneous multi-directional electrode movement for complex 3D cavity geometries, while networking support allows one operator to monitor and queue jobs across several machines.
• Power-Off Memory Protection: Retains the exact machining state through a power interruption and resumes from that point rather than restarting the program, protecting long unattended finishing cycles from costly rework.
• Industrial Linux OS with Remote Assistance: A stable, licensing-restriction free operating environment paired with one-touch remote support calling.
• ERP Management and ATC Robot Support: Native integration with automatic tool changer robotics and production ERP systems for lights-out or semi-automated manufacturing cells.
• C-Axis EDM Automation with Double-Head Configuration: Supports more complex electrode orientations and higher throughput on multi-cavity dies.

Industrial Applications

• Die & Mould Manufacturing: High-cavity injection moulds and progressive stamping dies requiring deep, geometrically complex cavities with mirror-finish cores.
• High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) Tooling: Dies subject to thermal cycling and erosion, where surface finish quality directly affects casting release and part quality.
• Automotive Component Tooling: Stamping dies and injection mould tooling for interior trim, connectors, and precision housings.
• Aerospace Component Machining: Precision cavities and fixtures on hardened, difficult-to-machine tool steels.
• Electronics & Connector Tooling: Fine-detail mould cavities for connectors, switchgear, and small precision components.
• Medical Device Tooling: Cavities requiring tight tolerance and a clean, low-roughness surface finish suitable for regulated production environments.
