CNC International will give a UK show debut to the Accutex AL600 CNC wire EDM (Stand 5250) This will appear along the “industry-leading” Exeron range of high speed machining centres and spark erosion technology.
Since their UK introduction at MACH 2014, the Accutex Series of Wire Cut EDM machines has proven a hit, says the company. With a linear shaft motor drive and a closed-loop control to eradicate backlash, the machines deliver a high level of repeatability with low friction and “exemplary” efficiency and precision levels. The new AL Series, represented at MACH by the AL600, has five machines in the range, from the smallest AL400SA to the largest AL750. The smallest machine can accommodate workpieces up to 790 by 610 by 215 mm (LxWxH); the AL750 those up to 1,190 by 720 by 295 mm; the AL600SA has axis travels of 600 by 400 by 300 mm (X, Y, Z), and a UV stroke of 100 by 100 mm.
The AL600SA incorporates a rapid servo response unit that can enhance the sensitivity of the discharge gap control to improve production times by upwards of 10%. Furthermore, this rapid servo response unit prevents the wire from breaking. And the Accutex AL600 to be shown at MACH has a high resolution, 0.2 micron, signal processor that delivers a smoother velocity control than alternative machines. The result is improved stability of positional control to guarantee highest contouring accuracy.
Working in conjunction with this is the Accutex Corner Pro system that optimises data such as wire thickness, cutting data, angle and workpiece thickness. This automatically controls the machine parameters to achieve the best possible cutting performance, meaning that small corners can be processed to highest precision. New lead-in and lead-out technology reduces the commonly occurring wire-mark at the lead-in process, too.
A host of optional extras is available, too - including auto wire threading, anti-collision on Z-axis, safety door interlock, transformer, remote master, auto voltage stabiliser, alarm messenger, pilot lamp, 45kg jumbo wire feeder and high pressure water jet threading.
High-end Exeron high speed machining centres and spark erosion machines will also be on the stand.
