GF Machining Solutions has introduced its AgieCharmilles CUT X Series of wire EDMs featuring new technologies that increase precision capabilities. Capable of holding extreme accuracies in machine positioning and pitch, the Series includes the CUT 1000 X, CUT 1000 X OilTech, CUT 2000 X, CUT 2000 X OilTech and CUT 3000 X. The CUT X Series will make its North American debut at IMTS 2016 in GF Machining Solutions' booth.
The CUT X Series' precision is supported by adapted mechanical structures that help ensure accuracy and thermal stability, as well as dedicated machine calibration and testing.
Machines in the CUT X Series are designed for the production of stamping tools and multi-cavity molds for electronics, information and communications applications. "They also excel in micro components for medical applications and watchmaking," said a company spokesperson.
The CUT 1000 X and CUT 1000 X OilTech deliver pitch accuracy of ±1.0 µm over 200 mm x 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 mm x 240 mm (460 mm x 320 mm for CUT 3000 X size), and form accuracy of ±1.5 µm
For every CUT X machine produced, GF Machining Solutions machines a large number of holes in a plate and uses a high-precision coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to determine the absolute position of each hole's center. "The resulting data is reloaded into the machine's CNC to ensure calibration that provides perfect pitch and positioning accuracy," said the spokesperson.
"Optimal machining conditions for micro applications are achieved through the combination of high-precision axes, short measurement loops, dual measurement on all axes, consistent isolation of the EDM area from heat sources and the submerged working area," continued the spokesperson.
GF Machining Solutions exclusive Automatic Wire Changer (AWC) two-wire spool allows for automatic changing between different wires for initial and finishing cuts. "Offering reliable wire threading with integrated wire disposal, this system allows for reductions to processing time," said the spokesperson.
An onboard Job Management System helps simplify inserting priority jobs into the machine's queue. The THREADING EXPERT retractable device performs wire threading, even in difficult conditions. The Integrated Vision Unit (IVU) Advance uses an embedded camera and backlight on the lower arm of the machine to perform presetting, in-process measurements and scanning of the contour machined. "Each of these features contributes to the overall efficiency and accuracy of the CUT X Series," said the spokesperson.
