MC Machinery will be showcasing the Mitsubishi 3D printer, OPS Ingersoll and Roku-Roku milling machines, wire/sinker electrical discharge machines (EDMs) and automation equipment at the Internatioanl Manufacturing Trade Show (IMTS) during September 9-14.

Visit Booth 338129 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, during IMTS 2024 and experience an in-booth putting green for visitors to test out a machined/3D-printed golf putter.

MC Machinery’s featured machines at IMTS 2024 will include:

Sinker EDMs

With artificial intelligence (AI) adaptive control technology, the Mitsubishi SV12P and SG28 sinker EDMs optimize performance, improve productivity, reduce electrical consumption and accurately estimateThe Mitsubishi SV12P.

The SVP series features proprietary Mitsubishi technology that incorporates a state-of-the-art sensor to monitor the total amount of electrode contact area within the work piece, allowing the system to automatically change power conditions based on real-time measurement feedback. Along with producing the most efficient burn, this technology results in up to 40% less electrode wear and an up to 30% reduction in machining time.

At IMTS, the SV12P will be outfitted with Erowa Robot Compact 80 milling and sinker automation.

Also featured will be the OPS Ingersoll Gantry EAGLE 800 sinker EDM, which is especially geared toward large-part and molding applications. Along with low electrode wear and fast cycle times, the Gantry Eagle series has on-board components designed to reduce wear and tear, which in turn decreases maintenance and costly downtime. It also has a large, easy-to-access working area that requires less floor space than other sinker EDM models.

Wire EDMs

The MV1200-R Mitsubishi wire EDM features the latest machine construction, submerged threading, fiber optic machine communication and power supply technology. As MC Machinery’s best-selling wire EDM, the MV-R series is known to be dependable and easy to use, spurring increased productivity and efficiency. This machine will be shown with the Mitsubishi Electric six-axis robot automation system.

The MV2400-R Mitsubishi wire EDM is the perfect solution for a wide range of applications, featuring a larger tank capacity and low operational costs. The innovative MV-R series features improvements in machine construction, auto-threading, internal machine communication and power supply technology. It also highlights Mitsubishi’s dedication to high precision, with innovations including the highly dependable non-contact cylindrical drive system on the X, Y, U and V axis drives.

The MV4800-S Mitsubishi wire EDM is ideal for large part applications up to 20 inches high (standard), and 32 inches high (optional) and can perform submerged cutting up to 20 inches deep. With an annealing length of over 27 inches, this system is capable of threading through the workpiece both at the start point and through the gap.

The MX600 Oil Advance Plus wire EDM combines the ultimate in machine accuracy and surface finish, with wire capability down to 0.0008 inch (.02 mm) diameter. The MX600 features a nano-pulse power supply and DMX-S Super Digital Control sensor, specifically shaping each spark producing surface finishes down to 1.6µ Ra. This machine provides the perfect opportunity to advance micro-machining capabilities.

Precision milling

The Roku HC658II is the gold standard for hard milling and electrode manufacturing. This machine is a full-bridge style design for supreme accuracy and each way surface is meticulously hand scraped. The highly dependable 32,000 rpm spindle, combined with the best graphite protection in the industry, makes the Roku HC658II the perfect solution for high-precision manufacturing and mold industry customers.
