HSD6-GT
The HSD6-GT has been developed from the original and highly successful HSD6-III system to take advantage of the latest design and control and process concepts employed in High Speed EDM for large annular parts such as Aero combustor components and also the larger IGT Blades and Vanes with a weight capacity up to 500kg.
