The Comfort Standard is the best introduction to the automation of ECM (electro-chemical machining) processes.

Starting with manual/semiautomatic operation, the system is quickly upgraded to full automation
The comfort stand-alone machine forms the basis of a modular automation concept. It saves on capital outlay, as further investment is only required when an increase in production calls for the linking of a number of processes (e.g. pre-cleansing, ECM station 1, ECM station 2, secondary treatment).

The CS ECM systems from EMAG ECM are ideal for ECM drilling, deburring and machining the widest range of components. As there is neither mechanical nor thermal stress on the component, this can be described as a very "soft" process. With ECM drilling, the tool cathode simply maps the desired drill hole in the workpiece. Material is therefore only removed at the desired points – and with no chips, burrs or drill caps. This, of course, hugely simplifies the production work flow for the components because the deburring processes previously required no longer play a role. The process stream becomes significantly leaner and more stable, easier to handle and, equally important, faster as well.

The high process speed of the ECM system is achieved by parallelizing drilling processes. More than 20 drilling operations can be simultaneously performed on the ECM system. This in turn significantly reduces cycle times. And this point is also important: The material hardness has no influence on the feed.
