Five-Axis Wire EDM Provides Quality Finishes
AccuteX EDM, a division of Absolute Machine Tools, offers the SP-300iA five-axis CNC wire EDM.
The workpiece mounting table is constructed from hardened stainless steel. It is designed to ease accessibility and work as a standard clamping system to reduce setup time. It can also accommodate most commercial fixturing systems, the company says. To simplify wire handling, the EDM is equipped with an annealing, fully automatic wire threading system with a tip-disposal unit. The servo-controlled, wire threading technology, combined with multi-detectors, is said to increase the automatic wire threading system’s speed and reliability
