Macro EDM

Precision-Driven EDM Sinker Simulation and Programming Software

a pioneer in digital manufacturing and CAM software solutions, MACRO EDM is an advanced simulation and programming platform that allows you to plan, simulate, and optimize EDM sinker operations with unmatched accuracy. Whether you’re an EDM engineer seeking fine control or a manufacturing head looking to enhance efficiency and reduce tool wear, MACRO EDM transforms the way EDM processes are planned and executed.

With a user-friendly interface, rich functionality, and compatibility with a wide range of EDM controllers, MACRO EDM bridges the gap between design and machining — ensuring your workshop achieves higher productivity, lower error rates, and superior machining precision.

MACRO EDM is designed for universal compatibility with all major EDM sinker machine brands and controllers, including: +GF+, Mitsubishi, Sodick, Excetek, Chmer, ONA, and Makino. MACRO EDM helps organizations reduce operator dependency and achieve consistency across machines, no matter the brand or age of the controller.

MACRO EDM is a next-generation software that enables simulation, programming, and optimization of EDM sinker machining operations. It gives engineers complete control over machining parameters such as spark gap, current, voltage, pulse duration, and frequency, allowing fine-tuning of every operation for best results.

The software supports import of 3D CAD models, provides access to a comprehensive material library, and includes predefined electrode templates — streamlining your workflow from design to NC generation. Its built-in simulation environment allows users to visualize spark erosion, check for collisions, and validate machining paths before execution, significantly reducing setup and test time on actual machines.

MACRO EDM STRATEGIES

MACRO EDM

The software generates ready-to-use NC programs and G-codes optimized for these systems, ensuring a smooth handoff from the virtual workspace to the physical machine. Its post-processor customization enables easy adaptation to specific machine requirements — making it a flexible and reliable companion for diverse EDM setups.

Core Capabilities

Automated Drafting

Automatically generate detailed drawings and documentation for electrodes, machining layouts, and setup sheets. This automation minimizes manual drafting time and ensures standardization across jobs.

Flexible Detailing Templates

Create and apply reusable templates for drawings, documentation, and machining reports, maintaining uniform presentation and saving design time.

2D Auto Detail and Real-Time Simulation

Visualize spark erosion, tool paths, and electrode movement in real time. The simulation module accurately reflects machining conditions, helping engineers identify potential issues early.

Spark Area and IDR Point Detection

Automatically identify spark regions and Initial Discharge Reference (IDR) points, improving machining accuracy and reducing the need for manual input.

Electrode Position Identification

Ensure precise electrode alignment and setup with automated detection of electrode positions, reducing setup errors and downtime.

Taper Matching and Parameter Calling

Automatically adjust taper and parameter values based on geometry and material conditions. This intelligent parameter mapping ensures consistent results and superior surface finish.

NC Generation and Tool Offset Control

Generate precise NC programs and manage tool offsets seamlessly. This capability eliminates programming errors and improves repeatability across multiple operations.

CMM Data Exchange and Job Sheet Integration

Integrate Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) data for validation and reporting. The software can automatically generate detailed job sheets summarizing all machining data, making documentation effortless.

Rotation and Position Detection

Automatically detect electrode orientation and rotation, simplifying setup and minimizing human error — crucial for complex, multi-electrode jobs.

Through its virtual spark erosion simulation, users can view material removal, electrode wear, and machining gap evolution. Engineers can tweak machining parameters and instantly see their effects on quality, surface finish, and machining time. This simulation-driven approach eliminates guesswork, enhances predictability, and reduces the number of trial runs required on the shop floor.

The built-in collision detection feature provides added assurance by identifying possible electrode-to-workpiece or fixture collisions before machining starts. This not only protects expensive electrodes and workpieces but also extends machine life and boosts operational safety.

MACRO EDM empowers your tool room with advanced digital capabilities, giving you the confidence to produce superior parts, faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Whether you’re a toolmaker, die designer, or production manager, MACRO EDM provides the perfect blend of simulation accuracy, machining intelligence, and process reliability.
