H&R Mfg. And Supply, Inc., an industry leader in workholding, manufactures custom designed and standard products for all workholding needs. H&R has expanded its product offering recently by adding many heavy duty products such as its new low-profile, extra heavy-duty boring mill jaws. H&R has also expanded its manufacturing capabilities. Even in a down economy, H&R is looking to expand by recently adding a new Accutex 6-axis Capablewire EDMmachine aswell as a new 40 taper Johnford CNCmill. Since this is the first EDM machine for H&R, they wanted a flexible and highly-optioned machine to suit current and future needs. TheAccutexAU-300-I EDM Machine was their choice. It has a table workspace of 13.8” X, 9.8” Y and 8.7” in Z height. H&R also bought the PEPS EDM wire cut software CAD-CAM system for this machine. “TheAccutex EDMhasmany bonus features including a flushing operation where the machined part doesn’t have to be submerged to bemachined,” said a company spokesperson. “The Accutex EDM also has an automatic wire threading operation which will allow H&R to return to the cutting operation faster than most traditional machines. H&R is looking to expand its own process through better accuracy aswell as provide customers with complex part machining capabilities that will hold 0.00004 inches. The true 5-axis machine capability will allow us to do many odd shapes and angles with a one-time cut rather than the traditional straight line 3-axis thatmany othermachines provide.” For more information contact: Derek Hivnor H&RManufacturing & Supply Inc. 12400 Rose Road Willis, TX 77378 936-856-5529 Fax: 936-856-8550 dlhivnor@hrmfg.com www.hrmfg.com
