PECO 用 Sodick 电火花机床加工五百万件模型铁路轨道
Five million pieces of model railway track from one machine?!
PECO 位于东德文郡，依靠 Sodi-Tech EDM 供应的 Sodick 电火花（EDM）技术，加工从微型轨道连接件到复杂模具和冲压工具等零件，精度可达 3 微米。MTDCNC 的 Clinton Perry 与 PECO 的 Steve Woods、Sodi-Tech EDM 的 Conor Plaskitt 一起探访了这段始于 2005 年的合作关系。文中提到，相关机床已使用约 20 年，仍能持续生产出这一数量的零件，并在数十年后保持可靠性能。

“This machine’s been around 20 years, been able to produce that number of parts.” At PECO in East Devon, precision is everything. From tiny track connectors to complex mould and press tools, the company relies on Sodick EDM technology supplied by Sodi-Tech EDM to manufacture components with incredibly tight tolerances. MTDCNC’s Clinton Perry joins Steve Woods of PECO and Conor Plaskitt of Sodi-Tech EDM to explore how a partnership dating back to 2005 has helped PECO achieve precision down to three microns, with machines continuing to deliver reliable performance decades later.
