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 โ€” a moving X-axis table and Y-axis moving column โ€” 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 ยฑ2.5 ยตm, setting a new benchmark for precision. Powered by Accutexโ€™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 โ€” rivaling Mitsubishi, Makino, GF AgieCharmilles, Sodick, and Fanuc.

Key Features

  • Linear Motor Drive System (X, Y) โ€“ In-house Accutex linear shaft motors provide zero backlash, high-speed response, and maintenance-free performance.
  • Hybrid Table Design (X-Axis Table / Y-Axis Column) โ€“ Balanced structure keeps the machineโ€™s center of gravity aligned between dual guideways and minimizes deflection under heavy cutting conditions.
  • 64-bit Windows 10โ€“based ueX10 CNC Control โ€“ Developed in partnership with Absolute Machine Tools, this advanced interface integrates simulation, torque monitoring, and cloud connectivity.
  • EtherCAT Motion Control โ€“ Ensures ultra-fast, stable communication for synchronized, interference-free axis motion.
  • Built-In Delta CAD/CAM System โ€“ Allows quick geometry creation, toolpath generation, and file transfer directly from the control.
  • Automatic Alignment Templates โ€“ Preconfigured routines simplify calibration and setup while reducing operator error across multiple shifts.
  • SD Master Stable Discharge Circuit โ€“ Maintains consistent spark energy and high surface quality for reliable fine-finishing operations.
  • High-Resolution Fagor Linear Glass Scales (0.000004″) โ€“ Closed-loop feedback enables sub-micron positional accuracy and repeatability.
  • ยฑ30ยฐ Taper Cutting Capability โ€“ Precision cutting for complex profiles, molds, and aerospace tooling applications.
  • Automation Ready โ€“ Fully compatible with robotic loaders, pallet changers, and A+ Automation solutions for lights-out EDM production.

Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers

  • Unmatched linear motor precision โ€“ The direct-drive linear shaft motor delivers smooth, friction-free motion with zero backlash, achieving faster servo response and long-term positioning accuracy.
  • Hybrid structure for stability and balance โ€“ The combination of a moving X-axis table and Y-axis moving column ensures the center of gravity remains centered, reducing vibration and maintaining accuracy under load.
  • Thermal stability and rigidity โ€“ Constructed with a Meehanite cast iron frame, the AP Series minimizes heat-induced distortion, preserving dimensional accuracy even during long submerged cutting cycles.
  • Optimized for lights-out operation โ€“ The Automatic Wire Threading (AWT) system rethreads at the break point under submerged conditions, guaranteeing reliable unattended machining.
  • Enhanced operator experience โ€“ The Windows 10โ€“based ueX10 CNC Control offers a 21.5โ€ touchscreen, cloud-based applications, integrated Delta CAD/CAM, and real-time simulation to streamline part setup and programming.
  • Energy and cost efficiency โ€“ Intelligent power management and reduced wire consumption lower overall operating costs while maintaining consistent cutting performance.
  • Designed for demanding industries โ€“ Provides ultra-fine finishes and sub-micron accuracy required for aerospace turbine components, medical tooling, and precision mold manufacturing.

Ideal Cutting Applications

  • Aerospace: turbine blades, fuel injector components, and structural tooling
  • Medical: implant molds, surgical instruments, and high-precision dies
  • Mold & Die: inserts, punches, cavities, and multi-cavity molds
  • Precision Components: carbide, titanium, and Inconel tooling
  • Electronics: connectors, stamping dies, and semiconductor tooling
  • Complex Profiles: parts requiring taper, conic, or multi-angle cutting
