Meeting the Needs of Electrode Professionals
GoraTech understands that the design and manufacture of EDM electrodes is one of the most specialized and delicate functions in the manufacturing process. Considered one of the most painful, time-consuming challenges facing moldmakers, electrode creation is not for amateurs – this high-precision task leaves no room for second-best results.
To handle ever-increasing quality demands, and ever-tighter budget and time constraints, GoraTech delivers end-to-end electrode solutions. From design through production, from documentation to burning, GoraTech offers higher productivity, faster delivery, and the right balance of automation and manual control.
DESIGN – start earlier, finish faster
GoraTech solutions are designed for concurrent engineering. Electrode design can be performed in parallel to the splitting of mold core and cavity, and multiple users can work on the same project – expediting the mold design process.
GUIDANCE – for experts and beginners alike
Electrode design requires so many – complex – steps, that even the most experienced users can benefit from the smart guides included in GoraTech's solution. Wizards take the user, step by step, through all design stages, including: selecting electrode areas, extracting surfaces, selecting blank, base and holder, creating boundaries, determining burn locations and creating drawings.
AUTOMATION – tedious processes become time savers
GoraTech leverages long-standing electrode expertise to cut down some of the most tedious and time-consuming processes involved in electrode design. GoraTech electrode solutions speed up processes with advanced automation, while keeping complete control in the experienced hands of the user in order to manage all machining and burning processes. In order to maintain flexibility, the system allows definition of both general and machine-specific parameters, electrodes and burning locations.
KNOWLEDGE – build, maintain, re-use
