AccuteX AU Series – Fixed Table Moving Column Submerged-Type Extra Large Capacity Wire EDM

The Accutex AU-iA Series is designed as a fixed table, moving column, submerged-type wire EDM machine, specifically designed to handle extra-large workpieces with superior precision and stability. Its high precision servo and transmission system uses 1.260″ diameter C1 class ball screws with sub-zero and super-finish ground process for maximum smoothness and minimum pitch error.

The axes are driven by means of closed loop, direct coupled AC servomotors with 8 millionths resolution and controlled by linear glass scale feedback system. The Hiwin linear guideways’ patented structure reduces up to 90% of friction and vibration producing unparalleled accuracy of motion.

The U-V axis mechanism has been placed in the cabinet above the working area. This design assures reliable durable operation in any shop environment. The rigid structure and 20mm C1 Class U-V ball screws provide high precision at the maximum flushing pressures necessary for high-speed cutting. With its rigid construction and expansive work envelope, the AU-iA series offers unmatched flexibility and accuracy for heavy-duty EDM applications.

Key Benefits:

Large and Strong Table Design:

The precision work piece-mounting table is made of hardened stainless steel, has easy accessibility, and is designed as a standard clamping system. This permits the setting of a wide range of work pieces quickly and accurately. The worktable can also accommodate any commercial clamping system.

High-Speed, Multi-Cut Capabilities:

With multi-pass cutting strategies, the AL Series delivers superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy. The machine offers a world-renown patented automatic wire threader (AWT) for efficient unmanned operations.

CNC Control:

The AL Series is equipped with the latest Accutex64 bit Windows CE based CNC control, including 17″ color touch screen and 1GB SD RAM. The CNC control offers DIRECT Precise Motion Control allowing the servo response path to follow the program precisely. Its user-friendly import/export feature transfers files via USB memory key, LAN network and RS232 connections. The controller can remotely access NC code with built-in FTP function enhancing efficient file management. For select cutting conditions, the controller generates the appropriate setting from its database. All parameters are automatically integrated in the NC program, making the NC code portable and easy to use. The system features intelligent cutting parameters, simplifying programming and ensuring consistent results, even for less experienced operators.

Precision with Reduced Wire Consumption:

Accutex’s Smart AWT system minimizes wire consumption and enhances efficiency, significantly lowering operating costs without compromising accuracy. Its patented Annealing Function for rethreading wire includes an AC servo tension wheel that can operate in reverse when the wire breaks. The wire-end needle-shaping feature cuts the wire off electrically, while annealing heat treatment strengthens the wire at the breakpoint for consistent reliable threading.

Performance Advantages:

• Precision Machining of Large Parts – The moving column design ensures stable cutting accuracy for large and heavy workpieces, eliminating issues caused by table movement.
• Superior Surface Finishes:
  The submerged cutting environment and multi-pass capabilities achievefine surface finishes with minimal recast layers.
• Efficient Flushing and Debris Removal:
  Submerged cutting enhancesdebris evacuation, reducing wire breakage and maintaining stable cutting speeds.
• Seamless Automation Integration:
  The AU-iA Series can be easily integrated withrobotic loaders and automation systems, enabling lights-out production for larger parts.
