All X-series machines house a two-wire spool that allows automatic switching between the two for, say, larger diameter wire or premium wire for the main cut, followed by smaller wire for finishing. According to GFMS, this results in faster cutting speeds.
Further features include an on-board job management system and the company’s ‘ThreadingExpert’, a retractable device that drives the wire from the upper guide to the start hole. In addition, with an embedded CCD camera linked to a backlight installed on the lower arm of the machine, the integrated vision unit (IVU) Advance display allows pre-setting, in-process measurement and scanning of machined contours.
