AccuteX GA Series – Moving Table Submerged-Type Small Footprint Wire EDM + NEW ueX10 CNC Control featuring an improved “User’s Experience”

The Accutex GA Series moving table submerged-type CNC Wire EDM machines are designed with a small footprint for manufacturing plant space efficiency. This series is built with cutting edge linear motor shaft drive technology. Like its predecessor, the GE Series, the GA series boasts its ergonomic space saving design, drop door, 3-sided table (back rail optional), patented fully annealing automatic wire threader and submerged machining capabilities of up to 8″ or 195mm.

However, this new series is equipped with the latest and most advanced high-tech EDM CNC control in the market today. Introducing the NEW ueX10 CNC control from Accutex EDM! The ueX10 CNC control is the result of a five-year development project between Accutex EDM in Taiwan, and Absolute Machine Tools. It is designed with a “USER EXPERIENCE” focus for enhancing capability and productivity, and easily integrates with new options/features and continued technological advancements. With a 21.5″ touch screen and Windows 10 operating system, the ueX10 is fully supported and will be easily updated with future Windows Operating Systems. The ueX10 EDM CNC control features cloud-based applications, automation, and network monitoring.

Key Benefits:

Linear Motor Drive System:

The GA Series uses a direct-drive linear motor system that eliminates backlash and ensures smooth, friction-free motion. Because of the linear shaft motor design, the GA series can provide 10% faster servo response time than flat-type linear motors with no thermal distortion or friction. The linear shaft motor, HIWIN linear guideways, 0.000008” Fagor glass scales and 64 bit processing are joined together on the massive casting putting the GA Series in a class of its own. The U and V axis mechanism is still designed with rigid 20mm C1 Class ballscrews to maximize cutting pressures for high-speed cutting.

NEW uex10 CNC Control:

The NEW ueX10 Wire EDM CNC control was designed with improvements such as:

• Motor Torque Monitoring System – A 100% automatic torque measuring function that ensures interference-free smooth motion over the full stroke of the machine.
• Processing History Library – Detailed recording of items such as speed, gap voltage, and other machining details critical to overall performance especially corner and arc processing.
• Fast Simulation Performance – Ultra-fast simulation with 2D or 3D rendering of large NC programs allows the operator to efficiently and thoroughly inspect program paths, verifying accurate toolpaths from post processing.
• Built-in Delta CAD/CAM Onboard – This feature comes standard with quick user-friendly geometry creation so operators can go from print to program in minutes. Full network and cloud capable CAD file can now be uploaded with toolpaths for highly efficient and flexible use on the shop floor.
• Automatic Alignment Templates – The automatic alignment templates allow the user to preconfigure calibration and part alignment operations that can be saved and selected for future redundant tasks.  Using these proven templates increases productivity and dramatically reduces operator error across operators and shifts.
• Integrated EtherCAT Motion Control – EthertCAT is a fieldbus which meets the needs of standard high-performance industrial communication protocols based on an Ethernet network. Another way to describe EtherCAT is that it is the latest and greatest way to control machine tool drive motion. EtherCAT offers exceptional performance with flexibility through multiple connections to servo drives, integrated safety features for network architecture, simple to integrate yet robust, and reduces the cost of hardware and repair. Another attribute is the use of the Linux OS to drive the EtherCAT. The Linux kernel is a widely ported operating system kernel, available for devices ranging from mobile phones to supercomputers, and is the perfect choice for stable high-speed use in industrial applications.

Automatic Wire Threading (AWT):

The AccuteX AWT System offers fast and reliable wire threading, even in submerged operations. This reduces downtime and enhances productivity by enabling unattended machining, perfect for lights-out manufacturing.

Cost-Effective Wire Consumption:

The GA Series is designed to minimize wire consumption, lowering operational costs while maintaining precision and cutting efficiency.

Thermal Stability and Durability:

The machine’s thermally stabilized design reduces the effects of temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent accuracy during long production runs. The robust construction also enhances overall machine longevity.

Performance Advantages:

• High Accuracy and Smooth Surface Finish – Multi-pass cutting capabilities enable the GA Series to achieve excellent surface quality with tight tolerances, making it ideal for detailed and precision parts.
• Taper Cutting Capability –Supports multi-angle taper cutting, allowing for complex profile machining with high accuracy.
• Efficient Flushing System – Enhanced flushing strategies ensure efficient debris removal, reducing wire breakage and maintaining consistent cutting performance.
• Flexible Automation Integration – The GA Series can be automation ready and can be integrated with robotic loaders or automation systems, boosting productivity and enabling unmanned operations.
