Combination of wire-cut EDM & waterjet - Hybrid wire EDM Announcement of the next generation machine, Hybrid Wire EDM
Rough cutting by Waterjet (10 to 20 times faster than wire cutting) Finish cutting by Wire EDM 5 axes(X, Y, Z, A, B-axis) A, B-axis: Nozzle axes 5 axes(X, Y, Z, U, V-axis) NC Control (5 + 5)10-axis control Compatible with taper cutting Wire EDM and Waterjet capabilities on one machine Hybrid wire EDM
Feature 1 : Start hole drilling by WJ Waterjet nozzle Workpiece Initial hole drilling Wire threading Wire Upper guide Lower guide Hybrid wire EDM
Workpiece Wire Lower guide Feature 2 : No needs of core-disposal For wire-cutting, the lower guide defies core cut-off Core For WJ cutting, core free- falls into the tank Waterjet nozzle Core Hybrid wire EDM
Feature 3 : Faster cutting speed Hybrid wire EDM Workpiece: Gr(ISO63) Thickness: 25mm Abrasive: garnet Wire: φ0.3mm, Bs Max. taper angle: 8° Machining speed of WJ: 3,000mm 2 /min Surface after wire-cut: 1.2µmRa Applying WJ for rough cutting reduces the total operation time by 2/3
