ESPRIT for Hollow Axis Rotary Wire EDM
2Pages

Rotary EDM technology has taken a completely new turn with the development of a rotary table with a hollow axis by ITS-Technologies. In the ITS-MA2-i, the part is mounted and rotated inside the opening of a hollow shaft. The advantage is that all sides of a part can be cut without anything to obstruct the wire guides. And the hollow shaft makes it possible to cut to the part center without any problem. Hollow Axis Technology Introduced in 2010, the ITS-MA2-i-115 has a range of 360 degrees and can rotate endlessly. The opening of the hollow shaft has a diameter of 115 mm to allow for parts up to 4.5 inches across. Because the workpiece continuously rotates, the wire can stay perpendicular the entire time to improve stability and flushing. ESPRIT for Multi-axis Wire EDM ESPRIT has supported full 5-axis wire EDM technology since the release of ESPRIT 2010, when Turn-While-Burn technology was introduced. Enabling rotary EDM technology is as easy as defining rotary motion in ESPRIT’s machine setup function. ESPRIT supports 4- and 5-axis positioning (indexing), continuous 5-axis EDM, and EDM turning on a high-speed spindle to provide a complete solution for our EDM customers with rotary capabilities. dptechnology.com ESPRIT for Hollow Axis Rotary Wire EDM ESPRIT for Hollow Axis Rotary Wire EDM
