Cutting Tool Engineering captured a brief demonstration of the FI 240 CC high-speed wire EDM machine at the GF AgieCharmille booth during the EASTEC show this spring.

Among the features of the FI 240 CC:

  • Traditional Swiss design and manufacture.
  • CleanCut generator: speed and surface integrity.
  • Due to its high intensity sparks, the CC generator enables considerable time savings to be made, especially during the machining of very high parts.
  • The integrity of the surface is totally preserved.
  • Expert systems.
  • e-doc: documentation always at your fingertips.
