Auto Wire Changer Optimizes Wire EDM Process
The third generation of automatic wire changers is available for GF AgieCharmilles’ CUT 2000 and CUT 3000 wire-cutting EDM machines.
The CUT 2000 and CUT 3000 machines use universal wire-guide systems to accommodate wires ranging from 0.01" to 0.002" (0.30 to 0.05 mm) for micromachining and super-precision applications. They also feature automatic wire thread and re-thread capabilities for lights-out production, Vision 5 numerical control, and a digital Intelligent Power Generator and Variocut for achieving surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.05 µm.
