Introduction

At Oscar EDM, we are thrilled to introduce our new series of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) units—the EX Series. Aimed at manufacturers who demand precision and innovation, the EX Series is set to redefine the standards of die-sinker EDM by incorporating a robust Windows operating system. This article will explore what die-sinker EDM is, the transition from DOS to Windows in our new series, and how these changes benefit manufacturers in practical terms.

Understanding Die Sinker EDM

Die-sinker EDM, also known as conventional EDM or cavity type EDM, is a process where an electrode replicates its shape onto a workpiece. It is primarily used for making molds or complex cavities in hardened materials. This method involves an electrode forming the negative shape of the cavity and gradually sinking into the workpiece, hence the name "die-sinker". It's ideal for intricate designs or hard-to-machine materials, making it a favorite in the aerospace, automotive, and tool-making industries.

Transition from DOS to Windows in the EX Series

Traditionally, EDM machines, including our previous models, operated on DOS platforms known for their simplicity and reliability. However, as technology has evolved, the need for more intuitive and feature-rich operating systems has become evident. Our new EX Series has embraced this change by integrating the Windows 10 operating system with an industrial CPU i3 (or above) 64-bit. Here’s a comparative look at DOS and Windows to understand why this shift is a significant leap forward:

Features of the EX Series

The EX Series isn't just about software upgrades; it’s about transforming how manufacturers interact with EDM machines:

• Advanced Control: The 21.5" multi-touch screen and color touch-screen on the remote controller enhance user convenience, allowing more precise control and easier navigation.
• Enhanced Monitoring: Equipped with digital voltmeters and current meters, the EX Series makes it easy to monitor machine status, ensuring optimal operation.
• Complex Machining Capability: With up to 6 axes control and a rotary table, the EX Series is perfect for tackling complex machining jobs that require precision and flexibility.
• Eco-Friendly Features: The ECO stand-by mode and UV fire sensor add to the machine’s safety and energy efficiency, aligning with modern environmental standards.
• Automated Convenience: Features like the auto door for models EX500-EX1060 streamline operations, reducing manual labor and enhancing workflow.

Conclusion

With the launch of the EX Series, Oscar EDM sets a new benchmark for the die-sinker EDM market. The transition from DOS to a more robust Windows platform not only enhances the usability and functionality of EDM machines but also ensures that manufacturers can achieve more with less effort. We invite manufacturers and industry stakeholders to experience the future of die-sinker EDM with our EX Series, where precision meets innovation.
