Hi Nicklas, I have a large Makino wire EDM with a working envelope of 1200x900x300mm with UV axes for tapered cutting. I also am looking to update the machine but have other projects in front of it. One neat feature of my wire machine is edge finding and locating the center of a hole if re-positioning material. Realigning the coordinate system based on a new position or rotation of the material would be nice by locating the center of a pair of holes. My Makino supports some of this already but it is a 1980 reel to reel mag tape machine and the controller is not too practical today.
Is yours a ram or wire machine? If wire, have you worked out movement history to back a wire out of the material?
