Why EDM Automation Is Critical to Keeping Europe’s Aerospace Industry on Track
Europe’s aerospace industry is booming, but factory floors are struggling to keep pace. Order books are full, yet bottlenecks in precision component manufacturing threaten to delay deliveries and drive up costs. The issue is not demand — demand remains strong — but under-utilisation, labour shortages and inefficient workflows are constraining output. Hakan Aydogdu, CEO of Tezmaksan Robot Technologies, believes automation offers a clear path forward. “Automating electrical discharge machining EDM systems provides a realistic way to unlock latent capacity, reduce lead times and strengthen Europe’s aerospace supply base,” he said. EDM plays a vital role in manufacturing some of the

The only oil-mist system that recovers your cutting fluid?!
What if your oil-mist system didn’t just trap oil — but actually separated it and sent it back to your machine? In this podcast, MTDCNC’s Paul Jones sits down with Brad Eicher of 3Nine, the company using centrifugal disk-stack technology born from the milk-processing industry to achieve 99.9% separation down to one micron. The result? Customers recover 50 to 200 millilitres of cutting fluid per hour and often save two to four barrels a year, with HEPA filters lasting up to 18,000 hours. With over 18,000 units installed and a completely different approach from traditional multi-filter systems, 3Nine is proving
