Starting off with two ZNC EDM 250 units in 2015, T. Q. Machining, Inc. now proudly owns seven of these workhorse sinker Electric Discharge Machines. Their versatility, small footprint, and excellent price to performance ratio make them an obvious choice for a small aerospace machining business. TQ currently uses their Knuth sinker EDM machines for several purposes including repairing cooling holes in used turbine engine vanes and for removing trailing edges on new castings. The dimensions for a ZNC EDM 250 are approximately 55 inches in length by 58 inches in width by 83 inches in height. Equipped with a 40 Amp generator and given its potential 400mm3/min material removal rate, the easy- to-learn and operate ZNC EDM 250 can be utilized for a wide variety of EDM projects.
