GF Machining Solutions CUT F 600 wire EDM eliminates wire breakage

GF Machining Solutions has launched the CUT F 600 wire EDM, which includes the company’s Uniqua control, Intelligent Spark Protection System (ISPS), iWire intelligent functions, and RFID Smart Wire system. Design enhancements help with thermal stabilization, vibration control, and machine movement precision, the company states.

The machine’s HMI has a 19-in. vertical touch screen, a full keyboard, and mouse.

The iWire function automatically identifies and adapts the wire speed to changing erosion height conditions during the wire EDM process. This capability eliminates wire breakage while reducing overall wire consumption per job. It works in tandem with the ISPS.

This functionality recognizes where the sparks are happening during the process. It also measures and identifies the position of each spark along the length of the EDM’s wire. Knowing the exact location of a spark allows iWire to automatically adapt the wire spool speed accordingly.

The RFID SMART wire spool technology stores wire characteristics as well as other traceability-related data.

These EDMs perform cooling of axis optical encoders using the worktank and the dielectric fluid.
