Linear technology for micron level tolerances and excellent surface finishes.
LEARN MOREFor years, tool, die, and mold makers have relied on EDM to produce tools in hardened steels that were difficult or impossible to machine. While EDM is certainly up to the job, it adds an extra step to the metal cutting process. And with the constant pressure you’re under to cut lead times and streamline processes, we thought that was just one step too many.
To boost productivity on high-precision, high-quality jobs, you need a tool that knows how to deliver accuracy, quality, precision, and speed—all at the same time.
The Android II is that tool: a well-built machine that brings together the latest advances in cutting power, working speed, rigid design, heat dispersal, and flexible operation to ensure precise work and high speeds.
TOP-SPEED PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES
RELIABLE BY DESIGN
The system’s dual-layer cooling system combines direct forced-oil cooling with a wide-range jacket to separate the spindle head from the casting. Leading to complete heat isolation, the double cooling system positioned between the heat-generating coils is matched by an in-line oil chiller unit to ensure complete control of the coolant temperature. Hot air will never collect at the spindle thanks to the Android II’s centralized exhaust and outside airflow system.

“Our biggest supply chain issue is labor, but we have been able to achieve lights-out operation by adding the MC Machinery equipment. We have kept costs down while improving accuracy and doing more with the same number of employees.”
LEARN MOREMantz Automation Operation Manager Todd Doerfert“The kinematics of the Roku-Roku VMCs allow us to run faster feed rates and not sacrifice surface finish or accuracy. The machines are efficient in terms of increased cutter life, reliable Fanuc control and overall machine stability. We can run longer intervals on downstream inspection on parts that the Roku-Rokus machined.”
LEARN MORETerBeek Molding & Tool co-owner John TerBeek“The Eagle 800 has burn technology that gives us a competitive advantage because it takes about half the time to burn and uses fewer electrodes, which saves both time and money. Our goal is to run it all day and all weekend. I like that we also are cutting down on our carbon footprint by using fewer graphite electrodes and less copper wire than before.”
