Criterion Tool Unveils Cutting-Edge Mitsubishi MV1200 EDM Wire Machine

It’s all about innovation on the work floor of Criterion Tool, Inc. A brand new Mitsubishi MV1200 EDM precision machine is making its new home and settling in amongst precision technicians at Criterion Tool. With weeks of installation and continuous testing to ensure optimal performance and laser-precision accuracy, it’s now ready to get to work. 

The addition of this heavy-hitter will allow Criterion Tool continued dedication to producing highly intricate machined parts and the ability to continue to deliver quality products at the request of dedicated customers. The MV1200 is incredibly reliable with its non-contact Cylindrical Drive System on the X & Y axis drives. It features a 19-inch cell-phone like touchscreen which provides a seamless interaction with its userface. 

New software allows technicians with a setup checklist and enhanced maintenance screens for quality control and to help keep track of operations. Brand new common shape macros provide a reduction in programming time by as much as 88%, allowing Criterion Tool the flexibility to complete larger manufacturing projects faster.
