GRAPHITE / EDM / ELECTRODES

Other equipment manufacturers may tell you that working with graphite is the same as any other substrate. The reality is that processes like redressing graphite ram EDM dies and machining electrodes produces an abrasive dust that can be damaging to CNC machines and reduce their efficiency. That’s why DATRON has engineered machine features specifically for your unique application and environment.

The linear guide ways and precision ground ball screws are covered and feature positive airflow as well as an automatic greasing system that forces any debris out of the machines’ working parts. A 60,000 RPM spindle is pressurized to prevent any dust from entering the bearings. The enclosure is designed for optimized airflow and can easily be fitted with a dust collector or your existing dust collection system to keep airborne dust in check. Plus, our products’ compact design, together with the 208V-7 Amps power requirement, allows it to be placed right next to your ram EDM machine.

Graphite CNC: DATRON M7GR

A compact machining system made just for graphite.
This compact machining system is the same as the DATRON M7 except with an added protection kit for machining abrasive materials. Covered linear guidances and ballscrews with positive air flow ensures that no abrasive or harmful materials can get into the motion mechanics of the machine. Sealed housing for all motion control electronics and motors also protects against contamination of the machine control system. The full enclosure complete with safety lock is equipped with a connection to an air flow system for dust extraction. This machining system is ideal for machining materials such as graphite, glass-fiber composites, ceramics or any hazardous or abrasive material.

Applications:
 Graphite EDM electrodes
 Embossing and hot stamping dies
 Steel and brass stamps
 Roll dies
 Moldmaking
 Micro drilling
