Accutex AL Series – Moving Table, Submerged-Type Linear Motor Wire EDM Machines

The Accutex AL Series is a moving table, submerged-type linear motor wire EDM designed for high-performance precision cutting. Unlike other manufacturers that use generic linear motor systems, Accutex designs and builds its own proprietary linear shaft motor in-house, optimizing response, accuracy, and thermal stability specifically for EDM applications. The combination of a heavy-duty, FEA-optimized Meehanite honeycomb casting, custom linear motor drive, and full-submersion cutting environment ensures ultra-smooth motion, zero backlash, and long-term geometric accuracy. Ideal for aerospace, medical, mold & die, and precision tooling industries, the AL Series competes head-to-head with Mitsubishi, Makino, GF/AgieCharmilles, Sodick, and Fanuc, offering world-class precision and performance at an exceptional value.

Key Features

  • Proprietary Linear Shaft Motor Drive (X/Y): Accutex’s in-house design delivers maintenance-free motion, zero backlash, and 10 % faster servo response than ball-screw systems.
  • Submerged-Type Dielectric System: 280–290-gallon tank with automatic temperature and conductivity control for consistent flushing and dimensional accuracy.
  • FEA-Optimized Meehanite Casting: Honeycomb base and ribbed column enhance rigidity and vibration damping.
  • Full Closed-Loop Feedback: Fagor 0.000004″ linear glass scales ensure high-resolution positioning and thermal stability.
  • Intelligent AWT System: Patent-pending servo-controlled annealing threader with multi-detectors for the world’s fastest break-point re-threading.
  • Advanced Power System: Anti-electrolysis AC discharge with MOSFET circuitry, SD Master EPGA technology, and optional MST-II Micro Sparking for fine finishes.
  • CNC Control: 64-bit Windows CE platform with conversational interface, built-in manuals, and 17″ color touchscreen.
  • Worktable Design: Hardened stainless-steel table accepts standard 3R and Erowa clamping systems for fast setup and repeatability.
  • Taper Cutting Capability: ± 45° range (optional wide-angle guides and flush cups).
  • Connectivity: Ethernet, RS-232, and USB interfaces for easy program transfer and DNC operation.

Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers

  • Superior Accuracy & Stability: Direct-drive linear shaft motors eliminate mechanical backlash and reduce servo lag for sub-micron precision and repeatable accuracy.
  • True Submerged Cutting: Full-tank submersion minimizes thermal drift and distortion, ensuring stable, high-accuracy performance for intricate or tall workpieces.
  • Exceptional Rigidity: A heavily ribbed Meehanite casting with reinforced lower arm maintains perfect alignment under maximum flushing pressure.
  • Faster Cycle Times: Linear motor drives deliver 10 % faster servo response than ball-screw systems, boosting throughput and efficiency.
  • Reliable Unattended Operation: The intelligent, annealing-type automatic wire threading (AWT) system rethreads at the break point — even submerged — for continuous cutting.
  • User-Friendly Operation: A Windows® CE-based 64-bit CNC control with 17″ color touch screen provides conversational cutting condition selection and built-in help menus.
  • Consistent Fine Finishes: Anti-electrolysis AC power supply with SD Master stable-discharge circuit delivers smooth, oxidation-free surfaces and longer wire life.

Ideal Cutting Applications

  • Aerospace: Turbine blades, vanes, fuel injectors, and precision fixtures.
  • Medical: Orthopedic implants, surgical components, and titanium instruments.
  • Mold & Die: Punches, cavities, and inserts requiring ultra-fine surface finishes.
  • Automotive: Transmission and fuel-system components in hardened steel.
  • Precision Tooling: Carbide gauges, fine dies, and micro-machined prototypes.
