Solid and wire-cut EDM range launch

Starting at just under £40,000, the new WT range of wire erosion machines is deliberately aimed at providing cost effectiveness with a high level of quality and performance. The 13 model range includes a choice of coaxial flushing or submerged versions. The smallest machine is the compact WT355 which has a XYZ capacity of 350 x 250 x 210 mm respectively with a maximum workpiece capacity of 850 x 560 x 205mm. For very large workpieces the WT1275 takes a massive 5 tonne on the work table and up to 1650 x 1050 x 450mm in terms of size; travels are 1200 x 700 x 450mm. Available on all versions is a highly efficient and extremely reliable auto wire feed system that not only provides auto threading under water but also auto back off and auto rethread if a wire break occurs. As standard, all machines are fitted with a chiller and a fine finish circuit. A wide range of options is available including off line programming, 6th axis machining and a 20kg wire spool. The new range of solid sink machines is part of a continual aim by Eurospark to provide machines that are very easy to use and keep operator intervention to a minimum. The NZ series provides all spark parameters and settings on a TFT colour screen which prompts the operator to input certain information relating to the component and electrode. The control then automatically calculates from almost 10,000 stored sets of machining conditions the optimum settings for the cutting cycle. These parameters, which can be changed manually by the operator at any time, are continually monitored during machining and adjusted as necessary. An auto anti arc circuit is included, as is the ability to create a power stepping program in the z-axis. Models are available with worktanks from 830 x 500 x 300mm up to 810 x 1600 x 750mm. If the requirement is for a basic CNC machine that will pitch and orbit or for full CNC with ability to interpolate all 3 axes and take advantage of toolchangers and C axis then a similar, easy to use model range is available. Added to the range of manual and CNC edm hole drills, is a series of models dedicated for the type of production work found in industries like aerospace, medical and automotive. With a sophisticated easy to use CNC control, machines can be equipped with a 20 station toolchanger to allow uninterrupted running. All machines benefit from have warranty and post warranty support provided by the 600 Group plc.
