Electrode Set-up Wizard • Select mold component • New assembly created in a new folder
Electrodes Extraction • Working on the electrode instead of burning area • Electrodes may be extracted in more than one direction (different orientations). • Different burning directions may be defined (other then the +Z direction)
Electrodes Extraction • Easy editing of parameters - • Dragging the blank is possible for resize and relocate • Fold up menus of minor parameters
Blank Creation • Editing capabilities of blank heights using a “free parameter” • Marked Base option
Extension Faces Creation • A Single function for all extensions • Additional options within the extension (step, draft angle, filler face) • Automatic contour creation for the next operation. • Preview of the next extension.
Setting the EDM Parameters • Different parameters for rough and finish electrodes (4 levels) • Quantity field for each electrode type (rough or finish) • Total offset = Spark gap + Orbiting
Electrode Drafting • Powerful preference and templates tools • Electrodes and location can be excluded form the assembly drawing
Electrode Templates • Simple template creation • Can be applied when the electrode is extracted – a complete electrode can be created • Can be applied on existing electrodes or on a pre selected contour
Open application • The system can be customized to fit each client’s needs. • 4 functions can be customized: • Name generators • EDM Setup • Reports • Positioning table for drafting
