Ask the Expert: MV Series Max Angle Check
In this Ask the Expert video, MC Machinery’s wire EDM applications expert Trent Langellier shares insight on how to perform taper and four-axis cutting on Mitsubishi MV Series wire EDMs using the max angle check. When doing taper and four-axis cutting on the wire EDM, there is a certain point, if the angle gets steep enough, where certain components need to be changed out such as the flush cups and the diamond guides. Also, you might need to use soft wire instead of hard wire. In a two-axis taper program, typically you will know what the angle is. But if you are doing this program with isometric corner radii, the angle will get steeper. Also, when doing four-axis programming, ...
