Accutex AU-iA Series – Fixed Table Moving Column Submerged-Type Extra Large Capacity Wire EDM

The AccuteX AU-iA Series are large fixed-table, submerged-type, extra-large capacity wire EDM machines designed to handle heavy workpieces with exceptional cutting performance and precision. Uncommon in today’s market, the AU-iA Series delivers massive-scale capacity and features automatic wire threading over the full stroke, accommodating workpieces up to 31.3 inches in height.
Each machine is designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for maximum structural integrity, featuring a Meehanite honeycomb-type base, heavily ribbed column, and reinforced lower arm that ensure rigidity and long-term accuracy under heavy-load conditions. Combined with AccuteX’s Intelligent AWT system, C1-class ball screws, and linear glass-scale feedback, the AU-iA Series achieves sub-micron precision, ultra-fine surface finishes, and reliable unmanned operation for demanding aerospace, medical, and mold & die applications. Competing directly with Mitsubishi, Makino, GF Machining Solutions, Sodick, and Fanuc, AccuteX offers a powerful, cost-effective alternative for precision EDM manufacturing.
