Accutex AZ Series CNC EDM Machine

The Accutex AZ Series is an affordable CNC EDM machine engineered for high-accuracy wire EDM cutting, easier workpiece access, and automation-ready operation. Featuring a 3-sided automatic drop tank, ueX10 CNC control, linear motor technology, and fully closed-loop glass scale feedback, the AZ Series gives mold, die, aerospace, medical, automotive, and precision parts manufacturers a lower EDM machine cost alternative to platforms from Sodick, Makino, and Mitsubishi.

The key advantage of the AZ Series is its 3-sided automatic drop tank, which gives operators full access to the front and sides of the machine for setup, inspection, maintenance, and oversized or irregular workpieces. This design also supports automation by allowing a robot to load and unload from the side of the machine while the operator maintains full access from the front.

Key Features

  • 3-sided automatic drop tank provides front and side access for easier setup, in-process inspection, maintenance, automation, and oversized or irregular wire EDM workpieces.
  • Large workpiece access with tank-down operation expands usable work envelope capacity when cutting taller, larger, or irregularly shaped workpieces.
  • Automation-ready workzone access allows a robot to load and unload from the side of the EDM machine while the operator maintains full access from the front.
  • ueX10 CNC control delivers modern CNC EDM functionality with a Windows-based operating system, operator-friendly interface, advanced programming support, and reliable wire EDM operation.
  • HIWIN Flat linear motor with 0.1-micron linear scale feedback supports high-accuracy positioning in X and Y, smooth axis movement, fast servo response, and stable CNC EDM machine performance.
  • Fully closed-loop feedback system supports precision positioning, repeatability, and consistent wire EDM cutting accuracy.
  • Rigid machine construction helps maintain stability, accuracy, and consistent surface finish quality across precision tooling and production components.
  • Affordable CNC EDM platform helps reduce EDM machine cost for manufacturers that need modern wire EDM capability.

Absolute Machine Tools offers the Accutex AZ Series for manufacturers that need an affordable CNC EDM machine with modern control technology, precision cutting performance, and easier workzone access. With its 3-sided automatic drop tank, ueX10 CNC control, linear motor technology, and automation-friendly design, the AZ Series gives shops a practical way to expand wire EDM capacity while controlling equipment cost.

Benefits for Metal Cutting Manufacturers

The Accutex AZ Series helps manufacturers add affordable wire EDM capacity without sacrificing the control technology, machine stability, and accuracy required for precision cutting. Its linear motor drive system, fully closed-loop glass scale feedback, and ueX10 CNC control support reliable machining performance for toolrooms, mold shops, die shops, and precision parts manufacturers.

The 3-sided automatic drop tank improves daily operation by making setups, inspections, workholding changes, and maintenance more accessible. Operators can reach the workzone from the front or either side of the machine, which is especially helpful when handling larger fixtures, irregular workpieces, or jobs that require more open access than a traditional front-loading EDM machine provides.

For shops evaluating EDM machine cost, the AZ Series provides a practical CNC EDM machine solution with advanced features typically associated with higher-priced wire EDM platforms. Manufacturers gain high accuracy, stable cutting, fine surface finish capability, cycle time reduction, and reliable unattended operation in a more affordable machine package.

Ideal Cutting Applications

  • Oversized or irregular workpieces that benefit from 3-sided drop tank access.
  • Robotic loading and unloading applications where side access improves automation layout.
  • General-purpose wire EDM cutting for toolrooms, mold shops, die shops, and precision parts manufacturers.
  • Punches, dies, inserts, cavities, cores, stripper plates, and mold components.
  • Tight-tolerance profiles, small radii, fine details, and complex 2D contours.
