At IMTS 2016, GF Machining Solutions will introduce the AgieCharmilles CUT X series of wire EDMs featuring an automatic wire changer (AWC) two-wire spool for automatic changing between different wires for initial and finishing cuts.
The series of machines includes the CUT 1000 X, CUT 1000 X OilTech, CUT 2000 X, CUT 2000 X OilTech, and CUT 3000 X.
The CUT 1000 X and CUT 1000 X OilTech deliver pitch accuracy of ±1.0 μm over 200 by 140 mm, and M-shape form accuracy of ±1.0 μm. The CUT 2000 X, CUT 2000 X OilTech, and CUT 3000 X deliver pitch accuracy of ±1.5 μm over 340 by 240 mm (460 by 320 mm for CUT 3000 X size), and form accuracy of ±1.5 μm.
An onboard Job Management System simplifies inserting priority jobs into the machine’s queue, the company states. The Threading Expert retractable device performs wire threading, even in difficult conditions. The IVU (Integrated Vision Unit) Advance uses an embedded camera and backlight on the lower arm of the machine to perform presetting, in-process measurements, and scanning of the machined contour.
