EDM features numerous innovations PDF Print E-mail
The Agiecut Progress V Series wire EDMs from GF AgieCharmilles feature a variety of new innovations.

For example, the Progress is now paired with a System 3R Workpal palletized workpiece changer to form an automated cell. The Workpal handles up to eight pallets for workpieces up to 12 in. square, feeding them into the Progress for up to 80 hours of uninterrupted processing. Other innovations being introduced on V Series wire EDMs are the IPG-V generator and Agievision 5 control based on the Windows XP platform. Processing speed, surface finish and accuracy are all improved, along with user-friendliness of the Agievision control, which provides enhanced 3D graphics, real time adjustments, and direct-select activity bars. The Progress system’s eCut generator technology makes it possible to get surface finishes as good as 0.8 µm Ra with one precision cut-a process that is completed in half the time required by technologies that incorporate a main cut and trim cut.
