EDMing

For faster, easier cleaning, the casting of the CUT 400 S Dedicated is designed so that tank water constantly runs down the interior sides of the work envelope, keeping them wet and preventing EDM residue from drying and hardening. This sticky residue also plays havoc with an EDM’s filter and drive systems. To prevent the residue from making its way inside these systems, water also constantly circulates through the new machine’s upper and lower heads.

Featured on new GF Machining Solutions’ CUT P Pro Series wire EDMs, the iWire function works in tandem with the company’s Intelligent Spark Protection System (ISPS), both of which are part of the company’s Uniqua control.
