Wire EDM machine uprated to cut quicker
Fanuc has extended the capacity, specification and performance of its Robocut Alpha-1iA wire cut electro discharge machine (EDM) to provide high accuracy performance cutting at up to 300mm2/min.
Available in four types, these machines can be specified as M for three axis manual operation and H which utilises hydraulic drive for the longitudinal traverse with manual intervention for cross and vertical movements.
The AH version has automatic crossfeed with hydraulic longitudinal travel and a manually operated vertical axis while the AHR provides AC servomotor control of the vertical axis with hydraulic longitudinal axis and automatic crossfeed.
Constructed on a high quality iron casting using Vee and flat ways, the M series utilises 'AA' grade steel balls for the guideway and the H version Turcite-B coated slideways.
Precision angular contact bearings are used in the cartridge design spindle with 3.7kW motor on the M while 7.4kW and 11.1kW spindle motors can be specified on the other machine versions.
Wheel speed can be either 1,750 or 1,450 rev/min for the 406mm x 50mm x 127mm wheel size.
Automatic crossfeed increments are 0.1mm to 20mm with rapid power crossfeed available at 1100mm/min.
The wheelhead rapid approach/retraction is at 800mm/min with auto down-feed of 0.001mm to 0.999mm/min.
The machines can also be specified with a computerised automatic down-feed for surface and plunge grinding with fast and slow jog and step feed for the control of roughing cycles, finish and spark-out.
There are a range of options including cross and vertical microfeed, angle and radius forming attachments, parallel dresser, rapid up and down, punch former and a range of coolant and filtration options.
