Sodick Introduces EB300 Electron Beam Machine |

"Sodick's new EB300 produces high speed mirror-smooth finishes, even on large surfaces, in a very short time," said a company spokesperson. "The quality of any surface is determined by the processing method used to produce it. Until now, the best surface quality has been achieved through difficult and laborious polishing processes. Sodick's new EB300 machine offers a completely new alternative. Electron Beam Machining eliminates hand polishing without altering the part geometry. It is 100 times faster than the old hand polishing process. "In order to achieve its' outstanding mirror-smooth surfaces the EB300 uses a 2.35-inch wide electron beam (composed of Nitrogen and Argon gas), which is applied in extremely short repeating bursts under specially developed exposure conditions. Within a few minutes, mirror-smooth surfaces with tolerances in the picameter range can be produced. It can take a 2-inch wide sphere with a 23RMS EDM finish and reduce it down to a mirrored 4RMS finish within eight minutes. The EB300 opens up entirely new possibilities, for example, shaping the surfaces of die-cast components using EBM process. The EBM process can be applied to a depth of .400-inch, including vertical walls."
