Accutex AP Series – Hybrid X-Axis Moving Table, Y-Axis Moving Column Submerged Type Linear Motor Wire EDM

The Accutex EDM AP Series is a submerged-type linear motor wire EDM constructed with a hybrid table design — a moving X-axis table and Y-axis moving column — that keeps the center of gravity perfectly balanced between dual X-axis linear guideways. This configuration ensures exceptional rigidity, stability, and geometric accuracy while preventing accumulated stack errors between axes. The design is optimized by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to minimize deformation and deliver long-term precision.

The AP Series supports a maximum workpiece load of 2,425 lbs (1,100 kg) and achieves bi-directional repeatability within ±2.5 µm, setting a new benchmark for precision. Powered by Accutex’s in-house linear motor drive system, the AP Series combines sub-micron accuracy, ultra-fine surface finishes, and superior productivity for aerospace, medical, and mold manufacturing applications — rivaling Mitsubishi, Makino, GF AgieCharmilles, Sodick, and Fanuc.
