/// THE MACHINE CONCEPT The new VPulse 500 comes with everything you need for manufacturing and maintaining PCD-tipped tools as standard, and is able to adapt flexibly to your requirements. /// State-of-the-art control for optimum machining performance /// Machining with unsupported clamping, optional counter point unit for machining between centres /// Various interfaces for flexible machining of different workpieces /// Diverse options for automated workpiece machining /// Simultaneous path interpolation in 5 CNC axes /// Measurement and erosion in a single clamping arrangement ////...

/// Vpulse EDM EROSION GENERATOR The generator is the heart of the efficient eroding process for PCD-tipped tools. preconfigured parameters and enhances its user-friendliness, as the correct material specific machining program can be quickly selected. The technology database can be expanded individually at the customer's request. The proven VOLLMER Vpulse EDM erosion generator is a prime example of this. Used for wire erosion for the first time – with the VPulse 500. Thanks to a higher material removal rate and optimised surface quality, it is the perfect companion for completing all your...

/// THE OPERATING CONCEPT Achieve maximum-precision performance with ease. Reliable and extremely accurate, time and again. Such a feat requires not only a highly developed, sophisticated machine concept, but also an operating philosophy that makes man the measure of all things. This is the only way to ensure that the operator can exploit the machine to its full potential – for the benefit of the company. It starts with sophisticated working ergonomics and encompasses the logical, convenient entry of parameters through to advanced human-machine interaction. Processes are continuously...

PRECISION WORK MADE EASY: /// Adjustable, pivoting control panel for optimal working ergonomics – with the display and machine compartment always in view /// Operation via touchscreen or mouse /// User-friendly menu navigation – even complex tasks can be completed with minimal training /// Easy, quick acquisition of information about key program and machine parameters /// New documentation and analysis options for faster process optimisation /// New design for greater ease of operation //// MODERN CONTROL PANEL for ergonomic work 0

/// SOFTWARE An intelligent, advanced machine concept logically needs an intelligent, advanced software concept. The ExProg programming system integrated in the VPulse 500 has proved itself multiple times and scores highly with its combination of known strengths and own new merits compared with the previous generation: /// Assignment of individual data to each contour element /// Simulation for checking the cutting edge geometry – saves time and minimises errors /// External or local storage of machining programs as required /// Easy application thanks to intuitive user interface ///...

/// THE VOLLMER SOLUTION To make creating machining programs even easier and more functional, we at VOLLMER have developed an additional software solution – as a full-value substitute for the 4-path program. It is preinstalled as standard in addition to the ExProg software. /// New, clear design for greater ease of operation /// Program editor for contour machining with any number of contours and cutting edges /// Greater functionality compared to the previous g eneration: Selection of measuring modes and visual representation of measuring points as well as meas uring and eroding in a...

/// APPLICATION /// METAL APPLICATION Whether manufacturing or servicing: For tasks requiring uncompromising precision and a high degree of flexibility, the new VOLLMER VPulse 500 wire erosion machine is number one for machining PCD-tipped solid carbide tools. The automotive or aerospace sectors have the highest standards – standards that naturally also apply to the tools they use. The VOLLMER VPulse 500 wire erosion machine facilitates the production and machining of a wide variety of intricate and complex tool geometries. Reliable, safe and extremely productive.
