Relative cutting speed % Consumption of wire in Kg per m2 of machined steel Ô Ô The new high performance wire, Thermo TEX, is part of a new generation of economic EDM wires that THERMOCOMPACT has developed. For the first time, Thermo TEX combines a very high level of performance (speed and precision) and realistic savings on wear items and maintenance of wire EDM machines. Thermo TEX is particularly suited for use with Charmilles Robofil wire EDM machines.
