AD series

AD series is a CAD/CAM system that automatically detects the parts and choose the best machining selecting from wire-cut edm , die-sinking edm and milling for each parts. The system is scalable depending on your needs and budgets where you can select wire-cut edm CAM , die-sinking edm CAM and/or milling CAM.

(1) The Electrode Design CAD detects the parts of the work where die-sinking edm machining is needed and produces slightly shrinked electrode models considering orbit controls on the actual machine.

(2) The Wire-cut EDM CAM detects the parts of the work where wire cutting is applicable and produces NC program with the newest machining technologies.

(3) The Milling CAM produces NC program for high quality electrode machining using excellent contour line path.

(4) The Die-sinking EDM CAM produces E.S.P.E.R program for die-sinking edm machining from electrode and work models.

(AD series is a product of Mitsubishi Electric Mechatronics Software Corporation.)

The Electrode Design CAD detects the parts of the work where die-sinking edm machining is needed and produces slightly shrinked electrode models for the detected parts considering orbit controls patterns done on the actual machine.

The above operation can be done in almost half of the time on the usual 3D CAD.

The Wire-cut EDM CAM detects the parts of the work from 3D model data where wire cutting is applicable and automatically produces NC program.

It reduces CAM process time to the half of the conventional CAM process style such as manually selecting machining lines on the 2D drawing derived from the 3D model.

AD series produces machining path from the tool position directly calculated from the 3D model data without approximation. It will leads to the better machining quality compared with the path calculated from the approximated facets model,which is often seen on the other CAM systems.

These functions greatly reduce the programming time manually done before.
- Usage of shifted electrode, multiple electrodes
- Producing NC program for setting up on the machine, which will lead to the far higher availability of the machine.
- Machining simulation based on the machine control software.

And the combination with the Electrode Design CAD realizes the higher efficiency of the processes from electrode design to sinker EDM machining.
