Sinker Programming System 2.1

Sinker Programming System by Charmilles Technologies is an offline programming and process-management application for die-sinking EDM. It helps programmers and EDM operators plan, simulate, and optimize jobs before they reach the machine, turning electrode designs and machining requirements into reliable, machine-ready programs for Charmilles sinker EDM equipment. By standardizing technology settings and automating routine steps, it shortens setup time, reduces errors, and improves surface quality and dimensional consistency across repeated jobs.

Key capabilities:

• Offline job preparation and sequencing, with clear setup data and operation notes
• Electrode management, including assignment of spark gaps, wear compensation, and referencing
• Technology database for common materials and finishes, with recommended generator parameters and orbiting strategies
• Process simulation and burn-time estimation to validate steps and prevent collisions
• Program output for sinker EDM machines, plus setup sheets and job reports for traceability
• Integration into typical CAD/CAM workflows to import geometry and electrode data
• Support for automated cells and multi-electrode magazines to boost throughput
• Knowledge capture to reuse proven strategies and ensure consistent results across teams

Ideal for mold-and-die, precision tooling, medical, and aerospace applications, Sinker Programming System streamlines EDM preparation from electrode planning to final burn, helping shops increase machine uptime and deliver predictable, high-quality results.
