The AccuteX Great Economy (GE) wire EDM machine combines high cutting speed and accuracy at an affordable price. The line features automatic wire threading (AWT) for fast submerged rethreading at the break point. When wires break, rethreading takes place without dielectric drainage/refilling, resulting in spark-to-spark times as low as 15 seconds. An air-driven wire removal system disposes of any length of waste wire.
The GE machine is capable of 33.5in2/hr cutting speeds using 0.012" high-speed wire. The stable discharge (SD) master-powered servo control system enhances accuracy, repeatability, and surface finish while minimizing the possibility of wire breakage. The intelligent discharge unit maximizes performance in changing workpiece thicknesses and water flushing conditions. A digital AC power supply facilitates high speed, electrolysis-free machining.
The controller features automatic corner control that analyzes cutting data, wire diameter, cutting angle, and workpiece thickness to automatically determine parameters for the best corner cutting performance from roughing to finishing.
The 6-axis controller includes Z-axis positioning and 5-axis simultaneous interpolation for any turn-and-burn applications. A W-axis rotary table and controller can be applied to both vertical and horizontal applications.
