EDM Provides Accuracy for Micromachining

From Mitsubishi EDM/Laser
 

 

Accuracy is a term we hear so often in the EDM industry, it begins to lose its meaning after a while. But if you are Advanced EDM Automation, and you're doing micro-machining, accuracy is crucial, and it's determined by less than .0001". When you are producing medical components, and individual pieces are so miniscule that 45,000 can fit into the palm of your hand, you don't use the term accurate loosely. That's why Norm Turoff, President of Advanced EDM Automation, relies on Mitsubishi for the most accurate, consistently manufactured machines on the market.

Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, Advanced EDM Automation covers 22,000 sq. ft., employs 45 full-time people and runs three shifts, six days per week. Turoff knows the advantage of excellent employee/employer relationships. He prides himself on the long-term relationships Advanced EDM Automation shares with many of its employees. "We are very employee satisfaction oriented. We have very little turnover," he goes on. He knows his company's reputation reflects the character and quality that start internally.
