EDM Monitoring Control for Industry 4.0

The M800 EDM control included in Mitsubishi wire EDM machines from MC Machinery Systems Inc. (Wood Dale, IL) increases productivity and helps to keep track of production jobs. This control uses rotational and tilting functionality, while providing job monitoring and important information in a single view. Its 19 in touchscreen enables the user to swipe, pinch and tap to view, making it a much easier interface to interact with than previous models. In line with Industry 4.0 requirements, the processable data available with this control ensures transparency in all production stages. Its navigation interface provides smooth and easy job operation time for all operator expertise levels, allowing production jobs to be completed quickly and accurately.

The M800 control also enables the user to analyze machine profitability and see reserves to optimize processes and boost efficiency. Diagrams are available to depict operating costs and output, and all operating material statuses and maintenance cycles can be called up at a touch. Currently, the MV1200-S, MV1200-R, MV2400-S and MV2400-R Advance wire EDMs feature the M800 control. MC Machinery is working to incorporate this technology in their laser machines as well.
