IMTS 2014 - New Copper-Impregnated, Ultra-Fine Grain EDM Graphite Ideal for Severe EDM Applications and Difficult Alloys
Mersens DS4 graphite, also featuring DarkStar, is a proven ultra-fine grain material providing excellent surface finish and intricate detail along with its ease of machining and exceptional strength.
St. Marys, PA - June 26, 2014 - Mersen USA introduces DS4C, a new copper-impregnated EDM graphite material. DS4C is created utilizing DarkStar, the company's proven micro-grain technology. The new DS4C provides ultra-low electrical resistivity, ultra-high thermal conductivity and improves machinability thereby enhancing ultra-fine detail. In addition, EDM process stability is improved when EDM is required on difficult alloys or carbides. Mersen's process control has eliminated many of the previous problems associated with copper-impregnated EDM grades, such as dry centers or low copper pick up.
Mersen, the largest producer of specialty iso-molded graphite in North America, has incorporated its exclusive DarkStar particle technology in developing DS4C. DarkStar is an innovative solid and liquid carbon particle designed for the most demanding EDM applications. Mersens DS4 graphite, also featuring DarkStar, is a proven ultra-fine grain material providing excellent surface finish and intricate detail along with its ease of machining and exceptional strength.
Mersen is stocking DS4C to eliminate the lead time normally experienced when purchasing ultra-fine grain copper-impregnated EDM material.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
