FANUC Wire EDMS

FANUC has completely redesigned their new iD Series wire EDM machines from the ground up. These new machines deliver superior cutting speeds, accuracy, and surface finishes. Machines feature a beefier, thermally-insulated cast Meehanite base that is 40% more rigid than previous models. Table travels were increased with no load overhang during table movement, providing high rigidity even for heavier workpieces. Heavyduty 1.26" (32mm) ballscrews for the X and Y axes are double-anchored and encapsulated to prevent contamination. Ballscrews for the U and V axes are Ø 0.79" (20mm).

The iD Series' 310iS-WA control features a Windows operating system, 15.1" LCD touch screen, easy-to-use split-screen graphics with increased drawing speed, interactive parts/maintenance assistance, and file transfer via USB memory stick or Ethernet.

The FANUC AWF has been entirely redesigned. A new Air Jet wire transport system in the upper annealing pipe improves accuracy, reliability and speed. The patent-pending twinservo wire-tensioning system reduces tension variations to one-quarter that of conventional machines for maximum part accuracy and quality. Machines use standard brass wire. Precision 0.010" (0.25mm) guides are standard, but machines accommodate guides for 0.004" to 0.012" (0.1mm to 0.3mm) wire. Guides for 0.002" (0.05mm) wire are available as an option.
