IonoVit – dielectric for starthole EDM

Water-based dielectric for starting hole drilling!
We offer two different products for starthole drilling. Depending on whether you want precision bores or speed!

IonoVit 0 for high-quality precision bores
This water-based product with additives guarantees the production of reproducible and high-quality holes for electrode diameters of 0.1 – 3.0 mm and larger. IonoVit 0 is supplied ready for use, so mixing is not necessary. The Brix value is in the range of 5% – 7%. A dielectric aggregate (water treatment) is required which, in conjunction with a mixed resin cartridge, ensures good quality and maintains the water conductance at less than 10 µS/cm. If the water conductance increases, the mixing resin cartridge must be replaced. Furthermore, the medium should be cooled, as otherwise no constant performance is achieved.

Measuring device:

  • Refractometer 5% – 7% Brix (water down only with deionised water)
  • Conductivity meter: conductance 0 – 10 μS/cm
  • pH-value test strip 5 – 7

Peripheral requirement:

  • Water treatment
  • Dielectric aggregate with filter and deionised resin absolutely necessary
  • Integrate the cooling coil into the cooling system – recommended for reproducible quality (option) –
  • Good electrode quality (electrode with bar)

IonoVit S for fast start hole drilling

IonoVit S is a high-performance dielectric designed for economic and fast working from an electrode diameter of 0,5 mm. It is also suitable for the processing of aluminum. Work pieces made of ferrous metals are temporarily protected from corrosion.

IonoVit S is a ready-to-use product. The concentration is regulated using a hand refractometer: The refractometer display for the ready-to-use IonoVit S is 7,0 % Brix.

Measuring device:

  • Refractometer 7% Brix (water down only with deionised water)

Peripheral requirement:

  • Water treatment
  • Dielectric aggregate with filter
  • Integrate the cooling coil into the cooling system – recommended for reproducible quality (option) –
  • Normal electrode quality is sufficient
