The benchmark for ultra accurate results in micro wire EDM applications The world of micro dimensions GF Machining Solutions technology supports the increased miniaturization of industrial components. Production of very small components has become a high priority in many industries: connector technology, medtech, watch making, automotive and aerospace. The production of micro components is linked to higher manufacturing tolerances and the ability to precisely produce geometrical shapes. In the manufacture of high-precision stamping tools and in the production of micro components, best...

The innovative mechanical structure of the CUT 1000 — with a patented monobloc framework, separately arranged main axes, a dual measurement system on all axes, a consistent separation of the sources of heat from the EDM area, and a working area kept constantly under water as well as an optimal water circuit — creates the prerequisites for outstanding features: • 1 μm positioning accuracy (laser measurement at factory site) • Ra 0.08 μm (steel/carbide) best surface quality Medical technology Production of single components or small series of surgical tools like bipolar surgical forceps. Very...

Unique design for highest quality and accuracy CUT 1000 designed for outstanding accuracy Due to an exclusive machine design concept, the CUT 1000 meets highly demanding requirements in terms of positioning accuracy, shape and detail accuracy. These results are possible thanks to the development of an innovative machine tool design based on a monoblock framework with separated X and Y axes, and through the static and dynamic analysis of the behavior of the machine tool with the Finite Element Method. Concept for insulated heat sources Every heat source of the CUT 1000 has been analyzed and...

Mastery of quality and accuracy During each phase of the assembly of the CUT 1000, the quality and tolerances of the assembled mechanical components are measured. The measured values are stored in the control system of the CUT 1000. For the highest level quality of monitoring, each CUT 1000 is measured and calibrated with state-of-the-art laser measuring methods, achieving nano mm resolution.

The exclusive wire system AWC two-wire spool system for unparalleled productivity in micro wire EDM Highest productivity with AWC The AWC wire system considerably increases productivity by allowing the use of larger diameter wire or premium wires for the main cut and then automatically switching to smaller diameter or more economical wires for the finish cut. The result of this unique GF Machining Solutions feature is a huge increase in the average cutting speed. THREADING-EXPERT Threading under even the most difficult conditions THREADING-EXPERT is a retractable device driving the wire...

A single wire guide permits all wire diameters to be installed Use 2 different wire diameters in the same die Faster machining time Front view AWC for micro erosion: benefits Use of two wires made of different quality or diameter Efficent wire chopper Simple and reliable wire disposal with the integrated wire chopper is important to avoid electro agnetic radiation. m Small details in tall parts (Opens new opportunities for Wire EDM) Designed for a high level of autonomy The CUT 1000 also has optimal autonomy available as a prerequisite for automated sequences: • 2 x 8 kg (17.6 lbs) wire...

User friendly and powerful, for highest efficiency, onboard Job Management System included AC Vision is a control system developed especially for ED machining and shop floor requirements with a high level of operating convenience. A few data inputs are sufficient to generate the EDM program using the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, just like your PC at home. Highest flexibility in unexpected situations with the Job Management System Dealing with changes of priority in the workflow occurs continuously in all workshops. Inserting an urgent machining job when another job is in progress...

Highest machining performance The benchmark in terms of fine surface finish and quality Fully digitized pulse control Powerful and modern electronics and smart process control allow the most efficient EDM process. All common conducting materials can be processed to the best results with any type of wire. For best surface finish, the IPG-V generator allows the elimination of the affected layer in steel, and yields perfect surface integrity in carbide. Perfect cutting of contours with AWO and WBC functions To operate a high performance fine blanking tool, with clearance of a few microns...

Easy, automatic, accurate measurement and positioning Fully integrated optical based system The exclusive Integrated Vision Unit (IVU) embedded in the CUT 1000 and CUT 1000 OilTech machine is an optical measurement system designed for in-process measurement. Autofocus positions the CCD camera at the right distance and directly measures any shape on the workpiece without removing the piece from the machine. The contrast of the contour is enabled by the backlight installed on the lower arm of the machine. Auto scanning of the form A complete scan of the contour can be performed anytime. A...
