Seventy years ago, the invention of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) revolutionized worldwide manufacturing. AGIE and Charmilles pioneered this technology and remain world market leaders today under the umbrella of GF Machining Solutions, a company that is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
Michael Koch has been promoted to senior laser applications manager at MC Machinery Systems in Elk Grove Village, IL. Koch joined MC Machinery in 2011 as a waterjet installer. Since then, he has held positions in the installation, service and sales departments, primarily helping customers with specific applications, manufacturing issues and process improvements.
With the perfect balance of precision and productivity in mind, GF Machining Solutions launched the first model of its new CUT F Series of wire electrical discharge machines (EDMs) yesterday. The launch coincided with the grand opening of the company’s Medical Center of Competence. As the first of its kind, the new center provides manufacturers supplying the medical industry with comprehensive applications support along with world-class production technologies, one of which is EDM.
