Sarix unveils SX30-pm micro-EDM hole drill

Sarix says that the release of its new SX30-pm micro-EDM hole drill allows customers to boost productivity at an affordable price. Designed to push the boundaries of what is possible, the SX30-pm combines high micro-drilling speed with extreme accuracy.

Imagine producing zero-deviation, precision, wire-cut free holes in a fraction of existing cycle times, whether working with tough aerospace-grade materials, medical devices or complex watch components. Sarix says that the SX30-pm’s advanced technology ensures superior results, helping users to increase throughput, reduce downtime and stay ahead of the competition.

Offering high-speed micro drilling, the SX30-pm is suitable for jobs ranging from 3.0 mm down to 100 µm. The machine delivers a high depth aspect ratio for extreme deep-hole drilling. It has travel of 300 x 300 x 400 x 400 in the X, Y, Z and W axis respectively, supported by a positioning precision of 0.01 mm (resolution 0.1 µm). An option is available offering positioning position of ±0.003 mm. The machine features automatic axis co-ordinate positioning and depth control.

The new SX-HMI interface streamlines programming and editing tasks with intuitive operating apps. Furthermore, the SX-Pulsar generator employs the latest Sarix ‘Micro-Pulse Shape’ EDM technologies for faster, deeper and more precise holes than conventional machines, reports the company.

Additional features include an automatic electrode re-feeding spindle and continuous production with the high-pressure flushing of dielectric oil or deionised water. An optional SX-MDH micro deep-hole drilling device is available for producing 0.10 mm deep holes in 15 mm carbide (Sarix patented).
