Maintaining Wire EDM Precision With Fluctuating Shop Temps

January 25th, 2022 at 1:39 pm

Heat is the enemy of accuracy and fluctuating shop temps throughout the day can wreck havoc on accuracy and repeatability. In fact, temperature variation is the number one enemy when high accuracy is expected.

AgieCharmilles combats this issue by utilizing a polymer granite base which offers a 6x reduction in vibration and offers 20x thermal stability compared to cast iron. Additionally, Thermal regulation can be integrated to maintain temperature consistently within a 0.2 °C even in the most unstable workshops. Accuracy and repeatability remain at the highest level.

Available on the ALL NEW AgieCharmilles CUT P Pro Series Wire EDM from GF Machining Solutions.

Don't Worry, Just Cut

The best possible EDM performance and no wire breakage —so you can work efficiently and towards zero-defect part manufacturing.

GF Machining Solutions was awarded the prestigious Prodex Award in 2019 for the new ISPS Spark Track technology utilizing our ISPS module coupled with our fully digital IPG generator which allows for real time spark monitoring in order to increase efficiency and eliminates the chance of wire breakage.

This new technology demonstrates the continued allocation of resources GFMS AgieCharmilles puts toward remaining a leader in the Wire EDM field.

Spark Track

Spark Track technology lies in the evolution of modern electronics, allowing the control to monitor each individual spark in real time. With this technology the control can determine the position of the sparks and monitor the spark-concentration. This GF Machining Solutions' innovation is the base for some outstanding functionalities like ISPS and iWire.

Intelligent IPG-DPS Generator

Our latest IPG-DPS Direct Power Supply places part of the generator directly behind the worktank by positioning the generator behind the work tank, the reduced distance between the power source and the sparking zone allows a much smaller impedance of the electrical circuit.

Less noise means better, faster and more accurate monitoring of your sparking process which results in better gap width control, better respect of geometry and surfaces, no wire breakage and faster cutting speed.

iWire

iWire module detects the height variation of the work piece profile and consequently adapts the wire spool unwinding speed. This is especially effective in workpieces with high variation of height and when upper and lower heads cannot work close to the workpiece surface.
