Built for gen- eral precision machining applications, both electrical discharge machines (EDM) provide accurate and reliable performance for standard die/mold components or contract manufacturing with a space-saving design for shop floors of any size. The EDGE-Series sinker EDMs feature an integral rise-and-fall work tank designed with excellent unob- structed access to the work zone for setups, which greatly improves visibil- ity to monitor the machining processes. The machines include an eight-station automatic tool-changer (ATC) to ex- tend unattended operation, and fully support robotic automation. Features include the SuperSpark4 which dynamically optimizes the power discharge levels and jump cycles. Intelligent Expert System (IES) has advanced adaptive power to auto- matically stabilize EDM processes and enhance accuracy. The MGH6 control features a 15-inch touch-screen control system and simplified programming using the Makino Program Generator (MPG) function. 2D Quick Image QI-C Se- ries with Motorized Stage —Mitutoyo America Mitutoyo America Corporation announced the release of the Quick Image CNC (QI-C), the latest addition in the Quick Image Series of 2D vision measuring systems. The Quick Image series of telecen- tric lens-based 2D video inspection systems has expanded the lineup to include three new models with a mov- ing stage. Combined with the mov- ing stage, the QIPAK software now includes an image stitching function. The small footprint and ergonomic design are well suited for a variety of inspection tasks, both in the lab and on the shop floor. For larger workpieces, the combi- nation of the moving stage and image stitching allows for entire coverage of the measuring envelope, creating a single stitched image on which edge
