REASON 1 :
Pricing
Cu-TRODE™ is competitively priced with both Graphite & Tellurium
Copper, and is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of Copper impregnated
graphite.
REASON
2
: Cleaner
Tired of dealing with Graphite dust along with Disposal of spent
electrodes? Cu-TRODE™ is not messy, dusty or migratory like
Graphite dust. Plus, the Cu-TRODE™ chips are worth money! |
REASON 3 :
Scrap Disposal
The Cu-TRODE™ chips and spent electrode can be sold as Number 2
copper to any recycler of non-ferrous metals.
REASON
4 :
Electrode Wear
With Cu-TRODE™, EDM electrode wear/consumption is reduced, in
some cases by as much as 60%, when compared to graphite.
REASON
5 :
Faster Burns
Typically EDM burn speeds, when compared to graphite,
|
are much faster with Cu-TRODE™ amounting to better machine
utilization.
REASON
6
: Liquid Effect
With Cu-TRODE™, cutting fluids, coolants & dielectric fluids
have NO adverse effect either while EDM'ing or re-machining
electrodes.
REASON
7
: Cutter Wear
Cu-TRODE™ does not present the cutting tool wear issues common when machining
Graphite. |
|
Typically, when EDMing either steel or copper alloy work pieces,
fewer electrodes are needed when using Cu-TRODE™. The benefit of
making fewer electrodes, both from raw material cost and reduced
machining time, makes Cu-TRODE™ the |
more profitable choice. This is a result of reduced electrode
wear during burning. With Cu-TRODE™, there is Less end wear and
Less corner wear. FEWER ELECTRODES means fewer tool changes,
meaning the machine is |
burning rather than making tool changes. FEWER ELECTRODES also
means fewer EDM holders committed to jobs. This all means cost
savings to your business operations. |
