The CUT 300Sp can machine parts of varying heights.
The CUT 300Sp Speed Edition wire EDM is available from GF Machining Solutions. "The machine is designed to provide fast spark-to-spark wire threading, increase energy efficiency and enhance productivity when cutting parts of variable heights," said a company spokesperson. "As a successor to the FI 440 wire EDM, the CUT 300Sp also offers high flexibility through its ability to reliably hold tolerances measured in microns in both light and heavy parts."
GF Machining Solutions' Power Expert smart module continuously calculates part thickness, checking injection pressure and adjusting machine power accordingly. This prevents wire breakage when changing the part thickness being machined. "As a result, the CUT 300Sp improves accuracy and cutting speed in parts of variable heights, such as plastic injection molds, aluminum extrusion dies and components for the aerospace and medical industries," said the spokesperson. The machine's optional touch probe allows the user to inspect a finished part in the machine before it is removed from the worktable, eliminating the need for part inspection with a CMM.
The CUT 300Sp accommodates wire diameters ranging from 0.002" to 0.012" and is built to handle part tapers of up to 45°, regardless of part thickness. "The machine's digital CC generator enables surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.1 um, and an optional power module can boost cutting speed to 37.2 inches2/hour with an adapted wire," said the spokesperson.
The CUT 300Sp also comes with the Econowatt 2 smart module. This is an energy-saving standard feature that can be programmed to automatically switch off the machine at the end of unattended operation or awaken the machine and complete thermostabilization prior to production. Econowatt 2 also automatically turns off the machine when a job is completed or a machining process is interrupted.
To minimize machine footprint, the CUT 300Sp implements a drop door to provide access to the work area. The CUT 300Sp measures 102" x 111" x 88".
