Furthermore, when machining deep and narrow grooves, Ona says that productivity can be increased by up to 50%, without any increase in electrode wear. In fact, it is claimed that electrodes can last up to five times longer, depending on the application.
The machines were launched at the recent BIEMH exhibition in Spain, where the Ona QX4 and the larger QX8 Modular were demonstrated. QX Modular machines allow customers to configure the machine to their exact specification. The largest QX Modular machine is the QX10, which features axis travels of 3,000 by 1,500 by 1,000 mm in X, Y and Z, respectively.
