    Sodick EDM Sinker help needed

    I am very new to this machine. I am running a program right now with titanium material and it is taking a little bit longer and I think I can speed it up. I was reading the manual but I am not clear on what I am reading. I want to be able to adjust the feedrate while it is running. I believe I can adjust the condition but I dont know which one. Is it the UP DN? Can someone please explain this to me on how to do this? Thanks in advance

    what model? control? You can increase the DN but that will leave the electrode in the pocket longer and will increase the chance of an arc. You can increase your ON time for the electrode to have more energy. Also what is your orbit pattern? Think pattern tend to burn faster do to more surface area contact with the electrode. Be careful with TI because that is one of the materials that will take longer to burn if you put to much heat in part. If you call the Chicago office in the morning they can give you a list of tweeks for TI. 847-310-9000
