Absolute Machine Tools Exhibiting 5-Axis Wire EDM Technology
October 1, 2013
Absolute Machine Tools, Inc. will be exhibiting an AccuteX EDM SP-500i 5-axis CNC wire EDM with its dealer Flint Machine Tools.
This machine features the latest Microsparking Technology, the MST-II function designed to provide enhanced part finishes. "Aerospace and medical industries in particular have demands for low recast and fine finishes," said a company spokesperson. "Further, this machine is built for rigidity with a Meehanite cast honeycomb base, highly-ribbed column that is mounted with oversized UVZ axes and reinforced lower arm for added stiffness. All castings are stabilized and subjected to rigorous testing to insure maximum strength, high precision and durability."
The X, Y, Z working range is 19.7" x 11.8" x 11.8" and the U and V axes are both 3.9". The U-V axis mechanism is placed in a cabinet above the working area for rigidity and protection from humidity and physical damage. The axes are driven by means of closed-loop AC servo motors with 0.000004" resolution and controlled by a linear glass scale feedback system. The SP-500i also incorporates the latest generation ball-retainer type guideways that, according to the company, reduce 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 for reduced set-up time. The table can also accommodate most commercial fixturing systems. All the operations relating to wire handling have been simplified on the SP-500i. The machine is equipped with an annealing, fully automatic wire threading system with a tip disposal unit. "AccuteX's patent-pending servo-controlled wire threading technology, together with multi-detectors, makes it the fastest and most reliable AWT system available today," said the spokesperson.
