Accutex AU-9i Moving Table Flushing-Type Wire EDM

The Accutex AU-9i Series is a high-precision flushing-type CNC wire EDM system engineered for demanding mold & die, aerospace, medical, and precision component manufacturing. The AU-9i features a moving table in both X-axis and Y-axis. It boasts an open-construction design with a flushing-type system built to accommodate oversized workpieces that exceed the capacity of even the largest standard tanks, offering maximum flexibility and accessibility. Designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for maximum rigidity, the AU-9i Series ensures sub-micron accuracy, superior surface finishes, and long-term reliability. Competing head-to-head with Mitsubishi, Sodick, Makino, Fanuc, and GF AgieCharmilles, the AU-9i delivers best-in-class precision and performance at a significantly lower total cost of ownership.

Key Features

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-optimized structure with Meehanite honeycomb base and reinforced lower arm for maximum stiffness
  • C1-class ball screws (1.26″ dia.) with sub-zero finish grinding for minimal pitch error and superior smoothness
  • Hiwin linear guideways with patented low-friction design reducing vibration up to 90%
  • Fully closed-loop feedback system with Fagor linear glass scales (0.000004″ resolution)
  • Automatic Wire Threading (AWT) – intelligent servo control rethreads at break point for the fastest, most reliable wire threading in the industry
  • 64-bit Windows CE-based CNC control with 15″ color touch screen and conversational programming
  • SD Master anti-electrolysis circuit for enhanced surface integrity and longer electrode life
  • ±45° taper cutting capability (with wide-angle guides)
  • Hardened stainless-steel worktable compatible with commercial clamping systems
  • Integrated dielectric chiller system (1.5-ton capacity) with automatic conductivity and temperature control
  • Optional rotary table, wire chopper, and Marposs T25G part probe for expanded automation and in-process measurement

Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers

  • Superior Stability and Rigidity: A Meehanite cast honeycomb-type base and heavily ribbed column create a structurally optimized frame for high-pressure flushing operations and heavy workpieces up to 4,890 lbs.
  • High Accuracy and Repeatability: Direct-coupled AC servomotors with 8-millionths resolution and C1-class ball screws ensure ±0.00012″ positioning accuracy and ±0.00008″ repeatability.
  • Ultra-Fine Surface Finishes: The AU-9i’s SD Master Stable Discharge Circuit with EPGA technology and anti-electrolysis AC power supply minimizes surface degradation and ensures consistent finish quality across extended burns.
  • Cycle Time Reduction: Intelligent servo-control threading and the industry’s fastest automatic wire threading system rethread at the break point, maximizing uptime and reducing operator intervention.
  • Reliability and Ease of Use: A Windows CE-based 64-bit control with conversational interface, on-board help menus, and automatic corner programming simplifies setup and operation even for new EDM users.
  • Flexible Automation Solutions: Compatible with rotary tables, part probing, and Accutex’s A+ Automation integration options, the AU-9i can scale from one-off toolroom jobs to fully automated production environments.

Ideal Cutting Applications

  • Mold & Die: precision cavities, punches, and inserts requiring ultra-fine surface finishes
  • Automotive: injector components, transmission parts, and hardened steel tooling
  • Aerospace: turbine blades, fuel nozzles, and structural brackets demanding high accuracy and thermal stability
  • Medical Devices: surgical instruments, implant components, and micro-features requiring burr-free edges
  • Electronics: connector molds, precision stamping dies, and tungsten-carbide components
