Slijptechniek North may, with the purchase of a QWD750 erodeermachine Vollmer, now grinding accuracies of thousandths of a millimeter. “Unique in the Netherlands.” The machine is specially designed for editing of diamond tools for example the automotive and mass production. In neighboring countries is eroding by a brass wire is already widely used. In the Netherlands, nobody dared step. “There is definitely a market demand for such delicate work. Compared to disk erode the finish much better. It’s grinding contour loss, “explains director Erik Vos.
Draaderodeermachine
This company takes this step is not very surprising. Vos indicated that his company follows experimental techniques with extra interest. “We initially had no intention of purchasing a draaderodeermachine. At the 100-year anniversary of the German manufacturer Vollmer went straight to my colleagues, however, to this new grinder. The technique was so interesting that we immediately set to work are gone. ” The machine now runs several weeks to complete satisfaction.
Unprecedented accuracy
The draaderodeermachine has five CNC-controlled asss. The machine is made of cast iron with polymer concrete built. The erodeergenerator Vollmer was specially developed to meet the highest requirements. “The controls are simple. Everything is supported by a graphical display. There is little need to be entered. The client sends a drawing. The DXF file is transmitted via the automatic measurement and grinding work is actually done one on one. The deviation in the axial and radial length of the tool is only 0.005 millimeters. That is incredibly accurate. ”
The machine has 16 km of erodeerdraad. “It enables us about eighty hours grinding. Then replace the wire. ” During grinding, the green-colored liquid dielectric chemical used to prevent electrical conductivity. For coarse grinding continues Slijptechniek North with a erodeermachine discs.
Curious
Since purchasing the company from Stadskanaal draaderodeermachine has already received several requests. “Everyone appears very curious. From the moment the machine is in our workshop, there are requests from customers. The good news is that even repetitive tasks among them. ”
Grinder Factory IJmuiden acted as middleman “when purchasing the machine. “Vollmer is the only manufacturer that can make such machines. It is for a company like North Slijptechniek a very big step was to draaderodeermachine to purchase. The investment is heavy and I think other companies are therefore reluctant. However, often one start. I am convinced that there is a crossover point, and that a few years more companies will soon have a draaderodeermachine “explains director Theo van Geldrop of grinder factory in IJmuiden. According to Van Geldrop wire EDM is also interesting for wood and metals, where accuracy is required.
More draaderodeermachines
Erik Vos does not exclude Slijptechniek North in the future draaderodeermachine a purchase. “Obviously this depends on the customer demand, but it’s not inconceivable that this will soon turn draaderodeermachines more.”
