One wire EDM featured will be the FA20S Advance that sports Mitsubishi’s new M700 control. The Windows-based system, with 15-in. LCD touchscreen, provides a simple menu configuration that allows for easy navigation. And according to Mitsubishi, the FA20S uses the world’s first 3D adaptive EDM adaptive control, which can analyze 3D data and recognize shape characteristics to virtually eliminate transition lines in stepped workpiece areas.
