Mechanics QUADRAX® In the QUADRAX® system, the table, work tank and dielectric liquid remain stable, and the workpiece does not move. The axes are equal in length (X = U travel; Y = V travel), with constant, lower mass and completely independent movement, unlike other structural concepts. In addition, the base offers lower thermal conductivity and a vibration damping system. Benefits: • Accommodates heavy jobs because the workpiece and dielectric liquid do not move. • Independent U/V and X/Y axes produce precise tapered cuts. • Creates large tapered cuts with same-sized U/V and X/Y

Thermostabilization Temperature variation is the biggest enemy of high accuracy. Even when workshop temperature fluctuates, integrated thermal regulation can maintain temperature consistently within ± 0.2°C. Accuracy and repeatability remain at their highest levels. Available as an option on CUT P 350 Pro and CUT P 550 Pro Workshop room temperature Machine body temperature Benefits: • Achieve high accuracy even in unstable thermal environments. 1 Water circulation in the Rhenocast machine base 2 Work area 3 Air conditioning in the machine head Collision protection Linear scales and rotary encoders...

UNIQUA UNIQUA is the new GF Machining Solutions human/machine interface (HMI) for wire EDM machines. It represents the pinnacle of more than a century of EDM technology – and the perfect combination of optimal functionality and usability (ergonomics) from our previous HMIs. SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMMING Every skill level UNIQUA is ideal for wire EDM experts and beginners alike. While experts use its powerful functionalities, beginners can take advantage of its ease-of-use and short learning curve. OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING Every approach UNIQUA works the way you want to work. Control the details of...

Interface innovation Enter a new dimension of human-machine interface convenience. The new display panel provides operators with an intuitive, user-friendly 19" touchscreen that can be arranged in portrait or landscape position. Dashboard power Customizable dashboard widgets and easy-to-use menu system seamlessly guides you through the workflow process.

Intuitive interactivity Shorten the learning curve and make any job easy with powerful graphic previews and an interactive help menu. Work Space UNIQUA tools are displayed as icons to allow for all users to easily identify key functions. GFMS applications such as Custom Profile, Custom Strategy, ISPS Viewer and User Technology, and many more, are available in two sections: Tool Box and External APPS.

Where flexibility meets productivity Flexible data input 1 2 3 4 5 1. All data is entered directly at UNIQUA. CAD/CAM 2. Only workpiece geometry is imported, remaining data is completed at UNIQUA. 3. Workpiece geometry, workpiece description and machining targets are imported, positioning and measuring data completed at UNIQUA. 4. A complete batch including workpiece, machining, positioning and measuring data are imported. Batch, in the case where a robot is connected, are managed directly via UNIQUA. 5. All data imported with direct execution at UNIQUA, including pallets placed in robot magazine....

Change your working strategy at any time UNIQUA’s exclusive functionality offers you the flexibility to adjust cutting strategies anytime during preparation or execution. Customized Strategy / Priorities Customized machining sequences minimize unnecessary operator interventions and allow for planned downtime. Priorities can be changed during execution with "one click" directly at UNIQUA without interrupting machining. Batch management Dynamic adaptation of batch execution UNIQUA gives the operator full power to change workpiece and batch-execution priorities, including functions such as piece...
