EX Series CNC EDM Die Sinkers for Mold Making and Precision Component Manufacturing

The Accutex EX Series CNC EDM die sinkers are designed for high-accuracy machining of complex molds, multi-cavity tooling, and precision components in aerospace, medical, and mold & die industries. These machines support X, Y, Z, and C-axis machining with 3-axis point-to-point capability, making them ideal for sub-gates, vent holes, and intricate geometries.

Standard XYZ orbiting ensures stable burn conditions, while C-axis helical machining — programmable through the conversational interface — enables machining in Z/C, X/C, and Y/C planes for advanced geometry control and process flexibility.

The EX Series delivers performance and capability comparable to high-end EDM platforms from Makino and Sodick, providing a cost-effective solution without compromising accuracy or surface finish.

Production Line Automation & Integration using Accutex’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Accutex’s Manufacturing Execution System, or MES is the latest in advanced smart technology and AI.  MES not only monitors every aspect of the production process including recording and displaying real-time data on just about anything you can think of, but can also manage things such as multi electrodes, workpieces and machines.  Data produced during machine monitoring includes utilization rates, status, and machining processes including milling.  MES can also manage customized tools and design projects, measurements and counts necessary in mass-production processes and warehouse management.

MES incorporates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to record and track real-time data for managing tools and program details.  For instance, tools tagged with RFID can be inserted in random positions.  Using a robot, RFID tags can be scanned and sorted according to scheduled operations and priorities within the program increasing efficiencies and removing potential errors.
