Description

The very first EDM machine sold in Sweden was an Agietron and the year was 1955. At that time the only dielectric oil available was one that was used in electrical transformers and it was filtered by a unique system called Transero. It was only natural that the same dielectric oil and filtering system should be applied to that first EDM machine. The result was that the very first EDM machine in Sweden was 20 years ahead of its time by being equipped with a Transor Filter. Sune Backman, Director of Engineering of Transor Filter USA, told us the interesting story of how this original transformer filter system was perfected for the EDM machine and is now "transforming" dirty EDM dielectric into crystal clear oil with a one micron clarity-all over the world- without the use of cartridges.Sune Backman was born in the northern part of Sweden and always had an interest in anything mechanical. An avid perfectionist, he eventually owned a mechanical repair shop and expanded his interests by trying to improve any device he ever worked on. He also acquired a marketing background and the combination of these two talents laid the groundwork for a very successful, international EDM career. In 1974, he joined with a partner that was familiar with the EDM process, and they decided to purchase the filter company and to perfect it for EDM use. This took many years of hard work and determination by both partners to bring the Transor Filter to where it is today.Sune told us, "The filter element is composed of a stack of special paper discs .003" in thickness and 1-1/2" in diameter with a center hole. 9,000 of these discs are assembled on a rigid, fluted rod approximately 36" long and are compressed tightly together. The assemblies are referred to as the 'filter sticks.' Each filter vessel contains 61 of these sticks which translates into over one half million of the individual paper discs in each vessel," Sune stated.
