AccuteX AU Series – XY Moving Table Flushing-Type Wire EDM

Expanding Machining Possibilities with an Open Table Flushing-Type Design

AccuteX is the only major manufacturer to offer open flushing-type production EDM machine models in the U.S. market. The open table design allows for large or odd shaped workpieces to be clamped directly to the table or fixture, overcoming the limitations of traditional fixed work tanks. In addition to AU-9i and AU-10i moving table machines, AccuteX can build any fixed bed model with the open table design allowing for workpieces up to 31.5” in Z height and 22,000 pounds.

Key Benefits

Exclusive Open Flushing Design:

Unlike conventional EDM machines with enclosed tanks, the open table configuration offers unrestricted access to the work area. This makes it easy to load, fixture, and machine oversized or uniquely shaped parts that wouldn’t fit in standard work tanks.

Exceptional Workpiece Capacity:

AccuteX Open Flushing models can accommodate massive workpieces, including:

• Up to 31.5 inches in Z height
• Up to 22,000 pounds in weight

This makes them ideal for heavy-duty applications in industries such as aerospace, energy, and mold-making.

Versatile Machine Options:

TheAU-9i and AU-10i moving table machines are specifically designed for open flushing production, offering both precision and flexibility. Additionally, AccuteX can build any Fixed Bed model with the open table design, providing even greater customization for large-scale EDM projects.

Superior Flushing Efficiency:

The open flushing design enhances debris removal and cooling, ensuring consistent cutting speeds, minimizing wire breakage, and delivering improved surface finishes, even on large workpieces.

Precision and Rigidity:

Built withrigid Meehanite cast iron frames and precision-grade components, these machines deliver stable, high-accuracy performance, even when handling oversized and heavy parts.

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:

• Effortless Machining of Large Parts – The open table design allows easy clamping and setup of oversized or odd-shaped parts, eliminating the size constraints of fixed tanks.
• Enhanced Machining Flexibility – Large or heavy parts can beclamped directly to the table, enabling complex machining operations that are otherwise impossible in enclosed tank systems.
• Consistent Accuracy and Surface Finish – The machine’srigid structure and stable flushing deliver exceptional accuracy and smooth surface finishes, even on heavy-duty parts.
• Increased Productivity – With reliable automatic wire threading (AWT) and open flushing, these machines are capable of lights-out machining, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
• Advantages – The AU-i series is perfect for machining applications such as aerospace components with large dimensions and complex geometries, energy and power generation parts such as turbine components or large casings, heavy-duty mold and die manufacturing requiring oversized EDM capabilities, and automotive and defense parts with irregular or bulky shapes.
