Guidance Dowel
The BETSA® design uses 4 Guidances dowels per DAC. They guide the movement on the Z axis with extreme precision.

BETSA® offers Guidances dowel in different alloys depending on the experience environment.
It is possible to make thermal and surface treatments to improve the operating conditions.
Guidance dowel in treated steel, high temperature inconel or Beryllium copper, of different length and Ø, with anti-oxidation, thermal or tefloning treatment. This is all that BETSA® offers for these MDACs.

The quality of rectification 1-3µm of these guidance dowels can lead, depending on the case, to an aid in disassembly after high temperatures or to obtain an accuracy of 0.1µm.

The MDAC according to their use need adapted dowel guidance. It is therefore possible to need a replacement.BETSA® provides these parts with the MDACs but also replacement parts
Extractor
Extractors are simple and effective tools essential for separating the piston from the cylinder of MDAC BETSA®.
The tight fit of dowels guigances and high temperatures may cause them to require assistance in unblocking.

Made of extra hard plastic, the extractors allow parts to be separated without leaving a mark.

Pump
If BETSA uses a pump to remove the dielectric liquid in the tank of the drill EDM [MH20M],
If BETSA uses a pump to remove the dielectric liquid in the tank of the drill EDM [MH20M], it is for 2 reasons.

The 1st is that the tank contains a few milliliters of electric oil, this amount of oil is quite large for contain the EDM dust drilling. The dusts does not focus around the drilled hole and then it is to be disseminated throughout the whole liquid which minimizes the concentration of dust and increases the quality of the sparks.

The second is to remove the liquid without using absorbent papers and to have your fingers full of it.

Electrodes
the electrodes are elements for drilling gaskets in our EDM drill and are very easy to exchange
Using different diameter wires the hole diameter can be continuously varied from 60μm to 530μm by controlling the electrode voltage.

         A needle is used for drilling from 10μm to 50μm.
