NEW Accutex ueX10 CNC Controller Designed with a “User Experience” Focus
The latest in CNC controls for wire EDM machining has arrived. Introducing the NEW ueX10 CNC control from Accutex EDM. Wire EDM machine manufacturers are continually researching to develop improved machine features and capabilities. Accutex EDM is no different, but this time the focus changed to not only improving features and capabilities, but more importantly the “user’s experience” as it relates to the EDM machine’s CNC controller.
AccuteX EDM presented this concept to Mark Cicchetti, EDM Technical Director at Absolute Machine Tools, and the project was launched. The new ueX10 CNC control is the result of a five-year development project between Accutex EDM in Taiwan and Absolute Machine Tools. Its “user’s experience” offers easy integration and technological advancements using a 21” touch screen with Windows 10 operating system.
Improved productivity features were also integrated in the redesign of the ueX10 CNC controller such as:
Full support from Windows 10 OS allows for easier and more manageable future software updates, built-in cloud-based applications, simple automation integration, and more advanced network monitoring capabilities.
Mark Cicchetti, EDM Technical Director at Absolute Machine Tools, said, “The new standard ueX10 CNC control proves that Accutex EDM is committed to creating smart factory advancements that allow manufacturers the latest and greatest in technology while also giving both large and small manufacturers the same production opportunities.”
Motor Torque Monitoring System
The Motor Torque Monitoring System, which is a 100% automatic torque measuring function, ensures smooth interference-free motion over the full stroke of the machine.
Processing History Library
Processing and recording information such as speed, gap voltage and other machining details is critical to the overall performance especially for corner and arc processing. The user can later review these details to confirm final cutting results.
Faster Simulation Performance
Ultra-fast simulation with 2D or 3D rendering of large NC programs allows the operator to efficiently and thoroughly inspect program paths verifying accurate toolpaths from post processing.
Delta CAD/CAM Onboard
Built-in Delta CAD/CAM is standard on the ueX10. With quick user-friendly geometry creations, operators can go from print to program in minutes. Full network and cloud capable CAD files can be uploaded with toolpaths created for total efficiency and flexibility at the shop floor level.
Automatic Alignment Templates
This capability allows users to preconfigure calibration and part alignment operations that can be saved and selected for future redundant tasks. Using these proven templates increases productivity and dramatically reduces operator error across operators and shifts.
EtherCAT
Integration of EtherCAT levels-up ueX10’s user experience! EtherCat is a fieldbus which meets the needs of standard high performance industrial communication protocols based on an Ethernet network. Another way to describe EtherCAT is that it is the latest and greatest way to control machine tool drive motion. EtherCAT offers exceptional performance, flexibility through multiple connections to servo drives, integrated safety features for network arcature, simple and robust integration, and reduces the cost of hardware and repair. Another attribute is the use of the Linux OS to drive the EtherCAT. The Linux kernel is a widely ported operating system kernel, available for devices ranging from mobile phones to supercomputers, and is the perfect choice for stable high-speed use in industrial applications.
Auto Energy Saving
Auto Energy Saving allows the machine to reduce energy and consumable usage based on the application and operating condition. By automatically managing systems when full power is not required, the control helps lower operating costs during long cycles, idle periods, and unattended operation.
User Maintenance Monitor
The user maintenance monitor tracks important consumable and wear-part life directly through the control. This helps operators plan maintenance, reduce unexpected downtime, and improve confidence during extended or unattended machining cycles.
MARPOSS 3D Probing Option
The optional MARPOSS 3D probing system supports faster workpiece pickup, 3D position recording, program rotation, and feature verification. Probing is especially valuable when locating blind features or reference points that cannot be accessed with the wire, such as tooling balls, button retainers, or critical datum features.
Interactive Cutting Record
The interactive cutting record makes it easier to restart a program after an interruption. If a job is paused for a hot part, wire break, operator change, or repeat production requirement, the control can help return to the start point, break point, or selected work point with a more reliable restart process.
Workpiece Pick-Up Functions
Built-in workpiece pick-up functions allow operators to locate parts quickly and accurately through the HMI or by program. Pick-up routines can be performed using the wire or the optional MARPOSS probe, helping reduce setup time and improve repeatability across jobs, operators, and shifts.
NexGen Automatic Wire Threader (AWT)
Accutex’s latest AWT makes an already 97% reliable system even better and easier to maintain. It expands conversational cutting condition selection and imbedding, full automation integration and monitoring, automatic core removal module for 100% unattended production, and LINE messenger to fully monitor machine operations from your cell phone or other mobile device.
Options and Upgrades
MST-II Fine-Finish Option
MST-II produces surface finishes as low as 4 Ra µin (0.07µm) in hard materials. It is available as an option on all AP and AZ models.
PCD Cutting & Graphite Power Supply
An exclusive ignition circuit and stabilized discharging power supply deliver faster cutting while maintaining surface integrity and edge quality. MARPOSS 3D probing and 5-axis simultaneous interpolation produce accurate cutting edges in complex cutting tools.
HIWIN Submerged Rotary Table
TeamViewer Support & Monitoring
Monitor your machine from anywhere on your mobile device, laptop, or desktop. Avoid unnecessary downtime and optimize performance. Applications and service support can be done in real time by the Absolute EDM support team.
