5-Axis CNC Wire EDM
Featuring the latest micro-sparking technology, the MST-II function provides precise part finishes from with a Meehanite cast honeycomb base and highly-ribbed column that is mounted with oversized U-, V-, and Z-axis, and a reinforced lower arm for added stiffness. The X, Y, Z working range is 13.8" x 9.8" x 8.7" U and V axes are both 3.15". The U-V axis mechanism is placed in a cabinet above the working area, assuring optimal rigidity and protection from humidity and physical damage. The axes are driven by means of closed-loop AC servomotors with 0.000004" resolution and controlled by a linear glass scale feedback system. The SP-300iA also incorporates the latest generation ball-retainer type guideways, reducing 90% of friction variation compared to conventional guideways. The workpiece mounting table is made of hardened stainless steel, offers easy accessibility and is designed as a standard clamping system.
