Wire Edm Cutting Speed Table

Achieve the accuracy down to 2 µm machining repeatability with thermostabilization and finer surface finishes down to ra 0 08 µm essential to your daily success with the new cut p wire cutting edm series.

Wire edm cutting speed table.

A typical 0 010 brass wire will break at higher power levels which is why standard wire edm generators typically top out around 30 amps. The upv 3 wire edm machine was designed to produce the ultimate in precision machining while achieving ultra fine surface finishes. Throughout the past decade many large and small companies have embraced wire edm technology as a viable manufacturing process. The shape being cut is a cat figure again found from open clip art converted to dxf with inkscape and.

For example if a 0 010 inch diameter brass wire is used the cutter comp will approach 0 005 inches plus a spark gap as the wire gets closer and closer to the part surface and possibly finish at. Where wire edm is concerned accuracy has traditionally come at the cost of speed. The 0 016 topas h e a t. The system consists of a.

The α cib series comprises three versatile all rounders including the first model with an 800 mm table. He machine is built on the proven makino uj series wire edm platform that utilizes a stationary table design and is held to an even higher construction accuracy specification. Wire can take as much as 60 amps without breaking. Moreover this increased power capacity allows the wire to cut efficiently at lower wire speeds relative to the feed rate.

Whereas the diameter of a cutting tool determines the offset in milling the edm controller applies a cutter comp based on the diameter of the wire. Repeatability and longer tooling life are must haves with component miniaturization and increasing production volumes. Fast accurate electrical discharge machining. Table travels wire edm s have u v travels for providing the movement to cut tapers.

That s why fanuc has developed a next generation robocut wire cutting machine. Today some edm manufacturers boast advertised first pass cutting speeds using large diameter coated wires in excess of forty inch hour which is a far cry from the twelve inch hour of the 1980s or the twenty inch hour of the early 1990s. Most machines can cut tapers of 20 30 degrees depending on workpiece thickness.
