TESTING GUIDE FOR PLASMA™ HYBRID-COATED EDM WIRE

Tech Talk: Outlined below are suggestions when testing PLASMA™ Hybrid Coated EDM Wire...or any high performance product.

These steps outlined below are a guide.

All applications are different. Results will vary. We invite customers to see what results they observe/notice.

 1) Put the wire on and do nothing. The machine should sense the gap opening and show a modest increase due to the "coating".  

2) Next increase the "on time". Let the machine stabilize. Decrease the "off time". Let the machine stabilize.

3) Repeat step two until the wire breaks. Then back off to the previous setting where it was stable.

4) Back off on the wire feed rate. Ex. If the wire was coming off the spool at 10 meters per minute through the gap, back off to 9 per minute and so on till the wire breaks. Then go back to the previous setting.

The idea is to push the wire to reveal all benefits.

Overall benefit: Ideally the customers will see an increase in cutting speed and less wire consumed.
