What is Electrochemical Milling?

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a unique fabrication technology that leverages the principles of electrolysis for material removal processes. Unlike conventional machining methods, ECM is non-contact, using an electrolyte fluid and a cathode tool to remove material from a workpiece anode. This method’s distinct advantage is that it does not produce heat – eliminating thermal damage

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
