The Engineering Technology Group (ETG) recently hosted an EDM workshop for manufacturers with a keen interest in this innovative technology. ETG Ireland kicked off its ‘Decade of Innovation’ workshop series in January with an EDM Applications event hosted by Scott Elsmere, ETG’s product manager and expert on Mitsubishi EDM and OPS-Ingersoll machines.

ETG’s workshop was a huge success with a high turnout of customers from across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Elsmere covered a range of topics with support from live demonstrations on a Mitsubishi MV1200R EDM machine, followed by an interactive Q&A session. From understanding the EDM process and material types, improving part straightness, achieving better taper accuracy, modifications for coated wires, and key parameters in spark erosion – the event was informative and action-packed.

The EDM workshop provided an opportunity for toolmakers and manufacturers from across the country to network and share their knowledge, learn new tips and tricks, and gain a deeper understanding of ETG Ireland and the company’s wide and diverse support services. Many attendees said they would highly recommend the workshop to others. One attendee said: “I’ve been performing wire EDM for over 20 years, and I have learnt new things at the ETG event that I can take back to the workplace.”

ETG Ireland will continue with a Mastercam 2024 workshop scheduled soon. Anyone requiring more information on the upcoming schedule of events should contact ETG Ireland.
