The Agietron Impact offers a truly modular solution, providing a tailor-made die-sinking system with a host of features.
It is particularly suitable for customers looking for integrated work handling systems and moving towards automated EDM erosion cells.
Powerful software options include a path control module, simple 2D geometry programming and optimisation of electrode utilisation.
The Impact provides the ability to remotely control and supervise the sink erosion process, on-line from a PC at home or in the office, and can be integrated into CIM installations which include measuring machines, identification systems and other peripherals.
The Agietron Advance, gantry design machines, provide maximum power and versatility with a minimum footprint.
The revolutionary new design integrates machine tool, control, generator, electrode magazine and dielectric unit in one envelope, operated by a conveniently hand-held command box.
The machine frame construction in polymer-granite provides excellent thermal and mechanical stability and with travel paths of 700 x 500 mm, the machine is well suited for the precise machining of large workpieces.
The low fixed cost, plug-in and run, characteristics of the Advance makes it suitable for a wide range of machining applications.
Designed and manufactured to the highest standards, the Exact, Impact and Advance join the existing range of Agie EDM die-sinking and wire erosion machines, providing customers with clear bottom-line benefits.
