Titan man I watch all these videos and all I can think of is how far CNC technology has come since I wrote my first program on a teletype for a Bridgeport Series 1 or maybe Series 2 CNC machine back in high school (yeah, that's right it was an old tape reader, sue me I'm a dinosaur). I attended a Vo-Tech school to become a Toolmaker which led me to a job making insert holders for Kennametal tools, mainly the deep grooving tools that were used back in the '90s. I miss the machine shop so damned much.
I would like to purchase that part you made, I think my daughter would be amazed. She is autistic, only with certain social issues, but she likes these kinds of things.
And here I thought this technology was surpassed by some newer since it has been around some decades now. But this is quite incredible. Even if it takes some more process after the cut or what ever. Just to make a cut so thin that it almost disappears is just incredible.
What most of these seamless EDM videos forget to mention is you still have to surface grind all around after it is assembled to achive the results shown. These kind of "I'll show you how... " videos where you proceed to just promo a machine and show the easiest part of the process are so annoying... Beautiful but annoying. Still, nice work, nice machine(s), but at least mention the other necessary steps!
PCD takes a special high power circuit that's an option on this machine. The diamonds increase the resistance of the binder material quite a bit, so the EDM needs more voltage behind the cut to bridge over the sintered diamonds.
Can you share the file on the academy please? I want to make my own on my MV1200S. I assume there was a little surface grinding to finish this off? Awesome machines
I have Query & Help reqd. One of our Testing system has failed Mechanically. Can we have rotary table around fixed table manufactured using this system. Both table should be cylindrical in shape with provision for mounting different fixtures. 4 probes will be mounted at 90degree to measure ID of job[mounted on outer rotary table] on Center Non-Rotary table. This i wanted to implement for wheel id measurement. Since every change in micron changes inner circumference. Also it can help in testing center offset of job. Also wanted to know can this fixed table with rotary table placed in oil bath to reduce friction & increase life along with repeatability. I am testing system software developer working on software of such system. Hence searching for solution. Job will be clamped at bolt holes of job through dowel pins mounted on fixture which is mounted on this rotary cylindrical table. Thanks in advance. Precision u showed is minimum expected from testing system to verify component.
They have to grind the holding tab off where the part was attached till the end where you did the cut off and broke them loose. Then grind the top and bottom after it was assembled so the grind pattern is all the same direction.
There are a lot of mold making and stamping die applications that make great use of the precision of these machines. Mold inserts, slides, stamping punches, dies, collapsible cores, just to name a few!
To cut a tall piece of material like that, how much tension is on the wire? Seems like it would need to be quite rigid. It's got to be at least blue pill level. What it the tallest piece that can be cut? Those machines are absolutely unbelievable. Like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
The wire never touches the work piece. The only deflection would be from the myriad tiny explosions. But they really are tiny. Also, with rough cut and 4 finish cuts as per this video, the bubbles have plenty of room to go sideways.
I live in Pakistan and here in Pakistan we do not have this fancy machines widely available I am a new learner in fact I have never ever use any kind of Machines not even manual please tell me where to start and how to learn them
0:17 "its completely seamless " and yet in the pounch-in on the fottage you can see seam's xD probably cause of camera angle but still ( if the seams was less/smaller then the wave lenght of visible light it might be seamless but i dought it's easy to make parts with less then 380 nm or 19/1270000 inch ( im metric so i dont know how to write in inch ) seam size. but thermal problem when assembleing parts what that close tolerance is probabbly pretty hard xD
@@strangereyes9594 you wouldnt be able to well its that cold. since the holes have shrinked to much and gram onto the other part's. it have to be at the same temp ( plus minus 0.1 C /0.17F ) of when you made the puzzle
@@flikflak24 You are right, I should have clarified it a bit better. Assembling it by putting one part in the fridge and/or heating the other part up, depending on which has the pin and which the hole. Of course, you have to redesign the parts accordingly.
@@strangereyes9594 i still like to see two parts being put togeather with interlocking features ( like the puzzle in the video )with less then 380 nanometer of space between them. just to seem if the seam really disapere at any angle in the visible spectrum of light
@@flikflak24 It won't, with the correct angle of light humans can see a nm scratch on optical surfaces. For a prospective, cloudy optics are around 20nm Ra and clear optics are 2nm Ra. Chromatic aberration, astigmatism and such are form errors, again on the nm scale. The surface would have to be good enough for x-ray optics.
That kind of precision is one of the things that moves this world forward. Wow!
These machines have been around since the 70's
jingdiao mills can also hold the same tolerance as a wire edm but with full 5 axis and a more mirror finish ( though it may take a bit linger )
Nice, but can you peel a banana with a 5-Axis mill?
😂 thats it
That would be interesting to see 😂
I sure can as long as you don't mind banana pudding.
Only if its realy ripe 😂
i wanan see if thet can emd errod the peal of a banana with it
You forgot to show all the steps that follow EDM machining to get seamless surfaces once parts are combined.
You guys absolutely nailed the music in this edit. This is pretty insane.
Просто волшебно 👍 , до чего дошёл прогресс - идеальнае обработка металла

Damn I want one of those. Amazed at the things that can be done with EDM, 3D printing, micro and all the other cool stuff you cats do.
Just a thought... What if you make an ACTUAL jigsaw puzzle? So once you finish it just looks like a blank sheet of sheet metal
I would like to purchase that part you made, I think my daughter would be amazed. She is autistic, only with certain social issues, but she likes these kinds of things.
I want one too, it'd be so expensive.
Was invented by two soviet scientists, B. Lazarenko and N. Lazarenko
Harold Stark, Victor Harding, and Jack Beaver who are Americans also made one at around the same time
Sick puzzle and very cool that it falls back into its place under its own weight and gravity of course 👍
And here I thought this technology was surpassed by some newer since it has been around some decades now. But this is quite incredible. Even if it takes some more process after the cut or what ever. Just to make a cut so thin that it almost disappears is just incredible.

thats something i would consider buying.

I GOTTA QUESTION!!!!
Does it cut all steel equally? Any difference between AR400 and 1045?
great, waiting for more videos from WEDM !
I would buy this little puzzle in a second!
Awesome ...Sliding need tolerance 0.005-0.010mm
Tomorrow you can try with PCD Diamond Material. How many times to cut to produce a smooth surface ?
for reference, final polishing of jewelry facets is usually with 1 micron or finer (0.5 or 0.2) abrasives
@@DavidGao micron is 0.001 mm
PCD takes a special high power circuit that's an option on this machine. The diamonds increase the resistance of the binder material quite a bit, so the EDM needs more voltage behind the cut to bridge over the sintered diamonds.
Absolutely amazing. Where can we buy these puzzles? They would make nice conversation pieces
Id like to purchase the block puzzle. Awesome job!
Can you share the file on the academy please? I want to make my own on my MV1200S. I assume there was a little surface grinding to finish this off? Awesome machines
How do you get rid of the line on the side where the parts are cut off?
Wich is the best CNC model? Hass, Siemens, FANUC, etc.?
You mean the Steeringsoftware they are all very good its only your taste which one you like better
@Appli72 thank you!
Heidenhain for milling and FANUC for turning
@luke2026 thank you!
Mazac is what we've used for decades.
First! This new Sodick EDM is absolutely insane!
Simply awesome
What’s the thinnest thickness of a feeler gauge that can be made?!!!!!! Micron or micro- radian??????

Also if above is possible. Then I would also require Master plates.
when you break off the pieces, you wiggle it to release but you do it very close the the EDM-wire. Doesnt this risk damaging it?
Im pretty sure I saw this machine self thread.
Wire break is not a problem.
No additional grinding on the top surface?
Possibly before or after
They have to grind the holding tab off where the part was attached till the end where you did the cut off and broke them loose. Then grind the top and bottom after it was assembled so the grind pattern is all the same direction.
What do the practical applications of zero tolerance machining with EDM look like?
There are a lot of mold making and stamping die applications that make great use of the precision of these machines. Mold inserts, slides, stamping punches, dies, collapsible cores, just to name a few!
this is awesome
What is the diameter of the wire and what is the overburn ?
Standard wire diameter on Sodick wire edm machines is .01", the kerf is on average .012"-.013" from overburn.
So cool!
To cut a tall piece of material like that, how much tension is on the wire? Seems like it would need to be quite rigid. It's got to be at least blue pill level.
What it the tallest piece that can be cut?
Those machines are absolutely unbelievable. Like 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
The wire never touches the work piece. The only deflection would be from the myriad tiny explosions. But they really are tiny.

Just. Sick... 😮!!
I want a cnc puzzle!
where buy puzzle thing.
Must have.
Can you sell those puzzles. I wan one!
@@baggerf14 I want one to
Web search "wire edm jigsaw puzzle"
Are we ever going to get an ultra precise yoyo to see ho fast it will spin?
So I'm guessing the gap between the parts is about .00005 am I close on my guess.???
I live in Pakistan and here in Pakistan we do not have this fancy machines widely available I am a new learner in fact I have never ever use any kind of Machines not even manual please tell me where to start and how to learn them
Otherworldly technology.
If u cut a puch ..how about the outside..the last edge... there's have a step... what you do
I want one!
Can I buy one of these little puzzles 😂😂
Was doing this back in the late 80's/early 90's so nothing new here.
I will always think this is the most fascinating invention by human beings in our shop. EDM that is of course. Not you Trevor 👋
Haha well of course, because I was invented by god, not humans 😉😂
🤣
If you ever get tired of that piece send it my way please :)
Did that shit just autofeed the wire through both heads?
you should make a 25 piece puzzle, but each connection is only different by .002".
Already seen this a mil@ion times
What would this retail for? I can think of someone who would love one for xmas. Can you do it for $50?
Lol no
Maybe Facebook marketplace will have some for around that price check there
A very quick search has them on Etsy at £104.

Imagine having a puzzle like that you can only disassemble when putting it into a fridge. THAT would be zero tolerance machining.

So no ringing
Still the interface looks like something from the 90's
I think they’re more worried about the functionality of the software.
Po co zmieniać coś, co jest dobre...?
Software looks like they are stuck in the 90s.
Peel a raw egg with this! 🙃
Y’all are missing a huge opportunity by not selling these 😂
😯
Man, now I need an EDM puzzle desk fidget 🥹
Man that is slick as that banana peel @dayofmone mentioned.
