GF Machining Solutions offers the AgieCharmilles CUT P 350 Pro wire-cutting EDM machine designed for increased productivity. With a large technology database that makes it suited for a variety of applications, the CUT P 350 Pro features a robust design and intuitive HMI, as well as multiple automation options for lights-out operation.
The machine's Uniqua human/machine interface (HMI) features optimal functionality and ergonomics in a 19" vertical touchscreen, full keyboard and mouse. Uniqua supports legacy file types from various EDM manufacturers. It also creates, imports, modifies and executes sequential (ISO-based) and object-oriented (dynamic) programs from previous versions of VISION and AC CUT. With offline and at-the-machine programming, ISO-based functionality and object-oriented programming, Uniqua provides a powerful graphic tool with integrated CAM and also provides compatibility with major CAD/CAM programs.
With Intelligent Power Generator (IPG) technology, the CUT P 350 Pro delivers surface finishes as smooth as Ra 0.08 µm and heightens accuracy with integrated thermal regulation that enables it to achieve an accuracy of ±2 µm.
Linear scales and rotary encoders form a double measuring system that protects the X, Y, Z, U and V axes. In the event of a collision, the system differentiates between the linear and the rotary encoder, and the energy absorber system automatically stops the axes without damage to machine or workpiece. This full protection applies at machine speeds of up to 3 m/min.
In the QUADRAX mechanical system of the CUT P 350 Pro, the table, work tank and dielectric liquid remain stationary, therefore the workpiece does not move, accommodating heavy workpieces. Independent U/V and X/Y axes with equal length (U = X travel; V = Y travel), have a constant lower mass and completely independent movement produce large, precise tapered cuts. Additionally, the machine's Rhenocast polymer granite base offers lower thermal conductivity and a vibration damping system to further improve accuracy.
Automation solutions for the CUT P 350 Pro include Automatic Slug Management (ASM), Automatic Slug Welding (ASW) and the option of a fixed or retractable Renishaw mechanical touch probe to measure workpiece planarity and position on the machine's worktable. Scalable automation options from System 3R maintain unattended production, including a WorkPartner 1+ compact robot that can feed up to two wire-cutting EDM machines for more than two days without operator intervention.
The CUT P 350 Pro optimizes production for electronics, automotive, medical and mold and die manufacturers with more than 600 pre-programmed cutting processes. These cover a wide range of parts up to 39.37" x 5.90" x 8.66" (1,000 mm x 150 mm x 220 mm), weights up to 1,653 lbs. (750 kg) and materials such as steel, carbide, copper, aluminum, titanium, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and graphite. Wires are available in diameters from 0.003" to 0.013" (0.07 mm to 0.33 mm).
Based on the Spark Track technology, the Intelligent Spark Protection System (ISPS) prevents wire breakage while optimizing cutting speeds and the intelligent iWire process reduces wire consumption, detecting variations in the workpiece profile and adapting wire spool unwinding speed accordingly.
